Oysters offer many health benefits. Oysters contain zinc which the human body requires for DNA reproduction and repair. The zinc found in oysters benefits humans in many other ways though. Zinc not only enhances the immune system, it helps the body repair damaged tissues and 80 mg of zinc taken daily improves vision and reduces the risk of macular degeneration due to normal aging. Oysters have the highest zinc content of all foods, according to Chris Pipergias, media contact for Diana's Seafood Delight. For this reason, Chris Pipergias states, everyone should make oysters a part of their regular diet.
