Recent research has confirmed that marine algae (seaweed) can be a valuable supplement to the human diet. In the unpolluted sea environment algae are able to absorb trace elements, minerals, salts and other nutrients. Many of the same nutrients are often lacking in people\u00b4s daily diet\u00a0 because of insufficient variation in our choice of food. In modern commerce, vegetables, fruit and meat products may have these nutrients depleted by inappropriate cultivation or handling practises.<\/p>\n
Marine algae in addition to providing important natural fibres, can supplement deficiencies in our diet, e. g. of calcium, potassium, selenium, silicon, vitamins, and the anti-oxidant Q10 and Omega3. However, these are not the only benefits. Recent health studies and environmental reports from UK, Ireland and Sweden have raised new concern about occurrence in food products as well as in the environment of metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and even radioactive strontium, and their effects on the body. Scientists have known for a long time that alginates, which are the main component of Seaweedblend, have en amazing ability to assist the elimination of harmful heavy metals from the body. Swedish clinical research has shown that the sugars contained in the algae have a beneficial effect on the diurnal glucose index curve, and also that algal extracts lower the cholesterol levels in the blood.<\/p>\n
In summary, the main benefits of Seaweedblend are:<\/p>\n
– reduces excessive blood cholesterol<\/p>\n
– improves action of the vascular system,\u00a0 including the heart<\/p>\n
– stabilises the balance of salts and micro-elements<\/p>\n
– prevents uptake of heavy metals and radioisotopes (e.g. cadmium, cobalt, lead, mercury, strontium) and also<\/p>\n
– reduces the body\u00b4s levels of such substances, if already accumulated<\/p>\n
– increases enducance and overall physical performance<\/p>\n
– increases the shelf-life of bread baked with this ingredient<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
