Seaweed Superfoods

In this section of Seattle Organic Restaurants I’m going to talk about seaweed superfoods and their health benefits. Seaweed lives in the ocean and has high concentration of important vitamins and minerals. Seaweed can be a part of healthy recipes and is a great source of minerals for people with mineral deficiencies. Seaweeds in both dried or fresh form can be added to many healthy dishes such as miso soup, sushi and other fermented foods. Seaweeds have 8 times more calcium than beef and milk.

Seaweed can purify the blood because the chemical composition in seaweed are very similar to blood plasma in human beings. Seaweed alkalinizes the blood and protects the body against toxins and heavy metals like mercury, harmful salts, other pollutions and radiation. Seaweed also neutralizes the acidy effects of our daily diet and can help with weight loss and reducing cellulite. Because of the unique structure of seaweed, this plant is able to absorb a great amount of nutrients from the ocean and the environment.

But the question you might ask is that aren't the oceans polluted due to radiation, sewage and other wastes?

Little bit of information can be dangerous and misleading. There is pollution and infestation in every part of the planet including ocean, soil, air, etc. One has to remain logical and rational and must consider that oceans and waters actually contain most of the planet and have much less susceptibility to pollution and contamination than soil. Also, due to ocean's ecosystem and filtration process, it can heal itself must faster than, let's say, soil.

Seaweeds are naturally full of vitamin K and are part of the ocean's ecosystem filtration process. For instance, if you look at any lakes that are damaged due to fungi or introduction of uninhabitable fish or parasites, the marine biologists clean the lake by introducing a filtration system to clean the water. This is man-size project usually. Compare it to ocean-size nature filtration system, and soon rationale and logic prevails and you can see that oceans are not as damaged or polluted as you may think compared to, let's say, the French fries or hamburgers that you eat or the non-organic fruits that you eat which were picked from trees/bushes a week before they are ripe (hence nutrition deficient).
