Here is a simple recipe to prepare tasty seaweed and 7 reasons why we should eat seaweed:THYROID: Seaweed contains a concentrated source of iodine and tyrosine (amino acid). Your thyroid gland requires both to function properly.VITAMINS & MINERALS: Seaweed contains a wide range of vitamins and minerals, including iodine, vitamin B12, iron and calcium. PLUS it's a good source of omega-3 fats.ANTIOXIDANTS: Seaweed contains a wide range of antioxidants, such as vitamins A, C and E, carotenoids and flavonoids. These antioxidants protect your body from cell damage.GUT HEALTH: Seaweed contains fiber which can be used as food sources for the bacteria in your gut. This fiber can also increase the growth of “good” bacteria and nourish your gut.WEIGHTLOSS: Seaweed contains few calories, filling fiber and fucoxanthin, which contributes to an increased metabolism.HEART HEALTH: Seaweed may help reduce your cholesterol, blood pressure and risk of blood clots.DIABETES: Fucoxanthin, alginate and other compounds in seaweed may help reduce your blood sugar levels, consequently reducing your risk of diabetes.
