Seaweed and kelp are seaweeds. Kelp is a large marine brown algae plant growing in low-temperature seawater, which belongs to marine algae plants and can be used for cooking methods such as mixing, burning, stewing and stewing. Kelp, brown algae, Laminariaceae. The sporophyte is large, brown, flat and striped, and the longest is 20 meters.
Seaweed comes from Korea, Japan and Taiwan Province Strait. Seaweed is also known as the king of deep-sea gold or seaweed. Hypericum japonicum is a pure natural green food with no pollution on the seabed, which has the characteristics of high nutrition and low calorie. Hypericum japonicum contains more than ten amino acids, protein and trace elements, such as iodine, calcium, zinc, iron, vitamins A, B and C, etc.

The efficacy of kelp:
(1) radiation resistance
Kelp can prevent the absorption of radioactive element strontium. Radioactive strontium does great harm to human body after it enters human body. It can radiate radiation in the body, causing damage to bone marrow, damaging its hematopoietic function, affecting bone marrow growth, and inducing bone cancer and leukemia. Sodium alginate in kelp can not only prevent strontium from being absorbed by digestive tract, but also excrete old radioactive strontium from the body. In addition, sodium alginate can excrete lead from the body.
(2) Prevention and treatment of goiter
Iodine deficiency in human body can lead to goiter, and children with iodine deficiency can't fully develop their brains and sexual organs, and their bodies are short and mentally retarded, that is, they suffer from so-called "dementia". Kelp is rich in iodine. Eating kelp has a good effect on the prevention and treatment of goiter and can promote intellectual development? .
(3) slimming effect
Kelp contains a chemical that can prevent the body from absorbing fat and is good for losing weight? . Researchers at Newcastle University in England found that alginate contained in kelp can effectively inhibit the digestion and absorption of fat. When the content of an alginate rises four times, the body's ability to resist fat absorption will increase by 75%.
(4) skin care and beauty
Kelp contains many vitamins, especially carotene, which can be converted into vitamins. Vitamins help to form glycoproteins, maintain the normal function of the skin, prevent infections and skin diseases, keep the skin smooth and delicate, and enhance its toughness. Kelp contains a lot of nutrients such as sulfur-containing protein, which is of great benefit to hairdressing.
(5) Reduce blood pressure, blood lipid and blood sugar.
Kelp contains dietary fiber potassium alginate, which can adjust the balance of sodium and potassium, reduce the absorption of sodium by human body, and thus play a role in lowering blood pressure. In China, there is the practice of eating steamed kelp to lower blood pressure. Kelp can lower blood fat because colloidal fiber can lower plasma cholesterol.
In addition to vitamins and trace elements, kelp also contains a lot of dietary fiber, especially soluble fiber. It mainly includes water absorption and swelling, increasing satiety, accelerating gastric emptying, lowering pH value of intestinal cavity, promoting bile acid metabolism, lowering blood cholesterol, improving peripheral sensitivity of islet cells to reduce blood sugar, and promoting energy loss in vivo with feces, so as to achieve the function of lowering blood sugar? .
