Seaweed comes in a variety of forms, including Kelp, Kombu, Wakame and Dulse. One of the most common in the western culinary world is Nori which is used to make sushi rolls. Although seaweed contains many vitamins and minerals like calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamins A,C,K. These are not its most valuable attribute.
The mineral which is most beneficial is Iodine. Iodine is essential for the health of the thyroid, an organ located in the base of your neck. It releases hormones that control metabolism and many vital body functions including:
Growth and development
Body temperature
Menstrual cycles
Detoxificatiion
Body weight
Heart rate
Cholesterol
Muscle strength
Memory
Concentration
Emotions
And much more
Iodine is not produced by the body therefore it has to be included as part of our dietary intake. By including one or two servings of seaweed per week or simply adding Dulse flakes to soups and salads you will meet your bodies requirement of iodine.
