Seaweed - A Vital Food for You

If you are looking for luxuriant hair and a lovely complexion, then look no further than a food rich in silicon, sulphur and a host of other minerals – seaweed. In ancient China, when long fingernails were a mark of the wealthy, the Chinese drank a strong brew of seaweed to strengthen the fingernails and make them strong.

In the Orient, in particular Japan where the eating of seaweed is above average, goitre and other problems affecting the thyroid gland are almost unheard of. The reason for this is iodine. Kelp also has anti-fat benefits, so for those of us who burn calories so slowly that they gain weight even when they eat little, kelp improves the body’s metabolic rate, helping to increase the burning of calories.

As a storehouse of minerals considered vital for the body, kelp contains mannitol (a gentle, natural laxative and bile stimulant – bile is one, of the four digestive saliva’s) small amounts of lecithin, vitamin A, some of the B-complex vitamins, and vitamin C and E. Lecithin is known to be a fat emulsifier that aids in preventing and removing fatty deposits from the arteries.

And if the vital fires aren’t burning hot, remember the iodine seaweed contains? There is more than one way to use this precious element. If you are unfamiliar with the far reaching benefits of this precious element and how to use it to build a vibrant physical and vital body, I have condensed ancient food combinations, directions and exercises in a marvellous e-book that will truly fill your body, be you a man or woman, with zest.

May health and wealth be yours!
