Benefits of Seaweed

British researchers discovered in the 1990s that seaweed can kill cancer cells and enhance immunity. The phycobiliprotein contained in seaweed has the application prospect of lowering blood sugar and anti-tumor, and the polysaccharides therein have many biological activities such as anti-aging, lowering blood lipids, and anti-tumor. The alginate contained in seaweed also helps remove toxic metals such as strontium and cadmium from the human body. Medical personnel have also developed marine medicines and health foods with unique activity from seaweed, which can effectively prevent nerve aging and regulate the body's metabolism. In addition, sea moss can prevent and treat peptic ulcers, delay aging, and help women keep their skin smooth and healthy. There is also a folk remedy that often lets postpartum women eat some seaweed, which is said to have a significant lactation effect. It also has the effect of losing weight. Nori is very thin and light, and you can only eat a few grams to a dozen grams a day, so it is not very meaningful in providing protein and fat. In comparison, its significance in providing trace elements is more valued by people.

Although seaweed has many benefits, traditional Chinese medicine believes that seaweed tastes sweet and salty, is cold in nature, and can clear away heat, resolve phlegm, and act as a diuretic. Eating more seaweed in summer can relieve heat and nourish the body. Patients with hypertension, tuberculosis, beriberi, and people with lung heat and phlegm are suitable for eating more seaweed, but people with weak spleen and stomach and prone to abdominal bloating should not eat too much. Since seaweed is seasoned during processing and contains more salt, people who need to control salt intake should also appropriately control the amount of seasoned seaweed they consume. They can eat some unseasoned seaweed sheets instead. Dried seaweed contains high levels of salt and MSG, so it is not suitable for long-term continuous consumption. It is best not to eat more than 1 liang at a time. Especially for young children and people with high blood pressure, do not eat it often and drink water immediately after eating.
