What is Seaweed, really?
Seaweed, also known as macroalgae, is a term that refers to a collection of species of microscopic or multicellular marine algae. Many varieties of seaweed are edible and are commonly consumed across the globe, particularly in East Asia, South Asia, and Africa. In the West, however, many find seaweed to be a challenging food to consume regularly. Most people are unfamiliar with it, some lack access to it, and others still simply lack a personal taste for it. Despite circumstance or preference, though, everyone stands to gain from the health benefits of consuming seaweed, which is why Sea Veg® was invented. Sea Veg® is a proprietary blend of 12 nutrient-rich seaweed and sea plant species that offer the same great nutritional benefits as eating seaweed traditionally in easily consumable daily tablet form.
Seaweed is, to some people’s surprise, extraordinarily significant both nutritionally and ecologically. Its health properties have garnered it widespread recognition as a superfood and its consumption induces a myriad of health benefits, one such being a bolstered immunity to common illness/disease. Its richness in nutrients, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants are due to its biological structure. Seaweed fronds collect essential trace elements of minerals from circulating sea water and make their own food from the sun. Many organisms then feed on seaweed and in turn feed other animals.
Seaweed, Immunity and Health Benefits
In the last two decades edible seaweed has enjoyed increased demand as its popularity gains rapidly among health-conscious and vegan individuals. While the nutritional value of seaweed may vary based on species and where the seaweed grows, sea plants in general are higher across the board in nutritional content than more commonly consumed land plants. Along with boosting immunity and protecting from certain diseases, seaweed fortifies and strengthens the body in the following ways:
- Helps to lower cholesterol
- Supports a healthy gut and prevents constipation
- Detoxifies the body of heavy metal and carcinogens
- Helps regulate thyroid function
- Helps protect the cardiovascular system
If you find yourself getting sick often or notice a depletion in your immunity to common illnesses, consider adding seaweed to your diet. Seaweed works to strengthen the body’s immunity by boosting the production of white blood cells responsible for fighting foreign bacteria invading the body. Studies have shown that people who consume seaweed have a reduced risk of contracting certain diseases as compared to those who don’t. Part of the reason why is that the marine plant compounds found in seaweed are believed to contain antioxidant and disease-protecting properties. The plant-based fiber in seaweed has also been shown to encourage the growth of intestinal flora, good bacteria that work to bolster the immune system.
While eating generally healthy food (produce, low-fat items, lean meat, etc.) is an important part of setting the foundation for bodily health, going a step further and choosing brands that put out products that are responsibly and healthily grown, cultivated and manufactured ensure that you’re getting the appropriate nutritional intake to optimize wellness.
