Shrimp (Shrimp) Don't eat lonely people ^^ In China's intentional book [Boncho Gangmok], there is a line that says, "Don't eat shrimp when you travel alone." There is also an old saying, "Bachelors should not eat shrimp." In oriental medicine, it is regarded as a tonic food that boosts men's energy and strengthens their kidneys, the source of stamina.

This is because taurine (a type of amino acid) and unsaturated fatty acids (both beneficial to blood vessel health) rich in shrimp are more than offset. Some scholars a
