Sea vegetables are rich in vitamins, contain all fifty-six minerals and trace elements identified as bodily requirements, plus they have other nutrients, many of which are known to offer protection against radiation or chemical pollutants.
Sea vegetables contain iodine, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphates, sulphates, chlorides, bromides and other nutrients in a well balanced form. Moreover, many natural nutrients are easier to assimilate than ones that are artificially produced.
Virtually all sea vegetables contain an abundance of the trace elements, including zinc and magnesium. Sea vegetables are easily prepared and are widely available in natural foods stores. You do not have to eat great quantities of sea vegetables in order to enjoy their benefits.
Seaweed has an alkalising and normalising effect, making it ideal for an often over acidic Western diet.
