Seaweeds

Seaweed is a macroscopic, multicellular, benthic marine algae. The term includes some members of the red, brown and green algae. Seaweeds can also be classified by use (as food, medicine, fertilizer, filtration, industrial, etc.).

A seaweed may belong to one of several groups of multicellular algae: the red algae, green algae, and brown algae. As these three groups are not thought to have a common multicellular ancestor, the seaweeds are a polyphyletic group. In addition, some tuft-forming bluegreen algae (Cyanobacteria) are sometimes considered to be seaweeds — "seaweed" is a colloquial term and lacks a formal definition.
7 Great Benefits of Seaweeds
1. Blood Purifying: The chemical composition of seaweeds is so close to human blood plasma, that they are excellent at regulating and purifying our blood.
2. High in Calcium: They can contain up to 10 times more calcium than milk and 8 times as much as beef.
3. Alkalizing:They help to alkalize our blood, neutralizing the over-acidic effects of our modern diet.
4. Have Powerful Chelating Properties: They offer protection from a wide array of environmental toxins, including heavy metals, pollutants and radiation by-products, by converting them to harmless salts that the body can eliminate easily.
5. Contain Anti-oxidants: Seaweeds contain lignans (naturally occurring chemical compounds) which have anti cancer properties.
6. Detoxifying: They are rich in chlorophyll (the pigment that makes some seaweeds green) which is a powerful, natural detoxifier that helps to draw out waste products.
7. Boost Weight loss: Seaweeds play a role in boosting weight loss and deterring cellulite build-up. Their naturally high concentration of iodine, helps to stimulate the thyroid gland, which is responsible for maintaining a healthy metabolism. At the same time, its' minerals act like electrolytes to break the chemical bonds that seal the fat cells, allowing trapped wastes to escape.

KELP - Devil's apron (laminaria) – kelp contains a great amount of compounds of iodine, various vitamins, microelements, irreplaceable amino acids and other biologically active matter.
Laminaria’s effect is established by the presence of organic iodine compounds in its composition. Iodine is essential for thyroid gland functioning; it takes part in formation of thyroxin hormone. Entering the body in certain quantities, iodine prevents thyroid tumor development and influences the thyroid hormone ratio. Iodine improves protein assimilation, absorption of phosphorus, calcium and iron,, and activates a number of enzymes. Under the influence of iodine blood viscosity is reduced and blood pressure also decreases. Iodine deficiency causes weakness, drowsiness and apathy.
