Description
All of the minerals required by human beings, including calcium, sodium, magnesium, potassium, iodine, iron, and zinc are present in sufficient amounts. In addition, there are many trace elements in seaweeds.
They also contain vitamins like vitamin A (in the form of beta-carotene), B1, B2, B6, niacin, vitamin C, pantothenic acid, and folic acid. Analysis has shown trace amounts of vitamin B12, which rarely occurs in land vegetables. Sea vegetables have been shown to cleanse the body of toxic pollutants. Seaweed feeds the shafts and the ducts of the scalp to help improve the health of the hair.
Other health benefits, according to Carlson Wade’s book Health Secrets from the Orient, including regulating the hormones, enriching the bloodstream, assisting in metabolism, promoting a youthful skin colour, and helping to warm the body to promote mental youthfulness.
So enjoy this nutritionally-packed food on the planet.
