As we approach flu season in the midst of a pandemic, there is one topic at the forefront of almost every conversation: our immune systems. The majority of 2020 has included various research and new ways of taking care of ourselves holistically, to protect our health from the inside out. Something to add to your regime? Seaweed.
Seaweed is a plant-based fiber, which has been shown to promote the growth of healthy intestinal flora, otherwise known as the good kind of gut bacteria which works to fortify the immune system. US Health News promotes the addition of seaweed to a diet as a way to naturally enrich your diet with more Vitamin C, calling it “C weed”. They go on to state that “one serving of seaweed can pack in more vitamin C than an [entire] orange.” A dose of vitamin C has the capability to decrease the span of a cold and “increase cold-fighting white blood cells.”
Getting a flu shot? Research fro Algae World News shows that seaweed “boosted antibody production” and could aid in the “efficacy of vaccines.” The same site reported a study of patients suffering from “various herpes infections” who were given two grams of powdered seaweed a day. Towards the end of the study, all fifteen patients reported a “significant lessening or [total] disappearance of symptoms.” Combined with research showing that the baseline level of antibodies produced to fight viruses, it’s easy to see why billions of pounds of seaweed are harvested each year.
Another report from NutritionFacts states that the consumption of seaweed “has been linked to a lower incidence of chronic diseases, both physical and mental. For example, women who eat more seaweed during pregnancy appear to be less depressed and have less seasonal allergy symptoms.” With these powerful facts backed by numerous studies and research, it comes as no surprise that adding seaweed into your diet will boost your immune system.
