Crabs are cold in nature and salty in taste, and belong to the liver and stomach meridians; crabs are rich in protein and trace elements, which have a good nourishing effect on the body. Crabs also have anti-tuberculosis effects, and eating crabs is of great benefit to the recovery of tuberculosis. Crabs have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, replenishing bones and marrow, nourishing muscles and bones, activating blood circulation and eliminating phlegm, removing dampness and removing yellow, benefiting limbs, nourishing liver yin, and replenishing gastric juice; it has certain therapeutic effects on congestion, jaundice, waist and leg pain, and rheumatoid arthritis.

When purchasing crabs, be sure to pay attention to their freshness. Crab meat is delicious and nutritious, but do not buy dead crabs, especially river crabs. Also, be sure to cook them thoroughly to kill any bacteria contaminating the inside and outside of the crab. Because crabs prefer to eat decaying matter such as animal carcasses, their digestive tracts often contain pathogenic bacteria and toxic substances; once they die, these bacteria multiply rapidly. Additionally, crabs contain a high amount of histidine. Histidine easily decomposes and can produce histamine and histamine-like substances under the action of decarboxylase. This is particularly the case after the crab dies, as histidine decomposes even more rapidly. The longer the crab has been dead, the more histamine accumulates in the body, and when histamine reaches a certain level, it causes poisoning. People who usually have a "deficiency cold" in the spleen and stomach, loose stools, vague abdominal pain, are recovering from a wind-cold cold, have a history of wind disorders, or suffer from stubborn skin itching should avoid eating crabs. Women with excessive menstrual bleeding, dysmenorrhea, or who are pregnant should avoid eating crabs, especially the crab claws. Crabs should not be eaten together with sweet potatoes, pumpkins, honey, oranges, pears, pomegranates, tomatoes, muskmelons, peanuts, snails, celery, persimmons, rabbit meat, Schizonepeta, or soft-shelled turtles, as it can lead to food poisoning. Do not drink cold beverages while eating crabs, as it can lead to diarrhea.
