Advantages of eels for the body are:

1.   A high source of protein, in 1 serving of eel, there is a protein content of more 

     than 20 grams, this number is very high and good for meeting the body's daily protein 

     needs. Eels can be a recommended source of protein, with the right presentation, for 

     groups that need high protein intake, for example pregnant women to toddlers.

2.   Eels have minerals and protein derivatives that are quite complete, so it is good for 

     maintaining the health of organs, especially the heart, brain, and immune system. In 

     addition, the meat in eels is also able to form hormones that can prevent the occurrence 

     of cancer, especially breast cancer.
