EDIBLE SEAWEEDS Edible seaweeds are an excellent source of minerals, containing ten to twenty times the mineral of land vegetables. They are low in calories, yet nutritious. They are valued for their rejuvenating and purifying properties. While seaweed is low in both saturated fat and cholesterol, and it reduces cancer risk and promotes weight loss.  Since they are highly concentrated food, small quantities are sufficient.  Preparing sea vegetables is simple, all you need is soak them in cold water for three to five minutes, and rinse and squeeze before adding to your meal. WAKAME Wakame is a very popular food in some Asian countries, traditionally it contributes to beautiful skin and hair. It has a fiber content similar to rice, which aids digestive transit through its bulking capacity without starchy carbohydrate. Some sub-species of wakame are currently used in the treatment of hypertension and heart failure in humans. Research shows that wakame helps reduce high

WHAT ARE SEAWEEDS? Seaweeds are found in the all the coastal area of the world, in all climatic zones from the warm tropics to icy polar polar regions. There are about ten thousand different species, but new and formerly unknown ones, sometimes living extremely in harsh condition, are being discovered on an ongoing basis. Despite their name and even though they often resemble plants, seaweeds are only tenuously related to plants. The tissue of the majority of the seaweeds is built up very differently from that found in higher forms of plant life and their functional structure is dissimilar in many respects. They do not have leaves and stems in botanical sense of words, nor do they broom, produce seeds, or set fruits. Seaweeds have no need for root system to take in water or nutrients, as their cells are in direct contact with the surrounding water from which they derive their nourishment. Consequently, they do not grow roots, some species have evolved a system for the internal

SEAWEED BENEFITS Seaweed could be key to weight loss, study suggests,” BBC News reports. UK researchers have looked at alginates that occur naturally in “kelp” seaweed (the variety that resembles large blades). They found that these alginates may help reduce the amount of fat the body digests. Their study showed that, in the lab, certain types of alginates can slow down the enzyme activity of a fat-digesting enzyme called pancreatic lipase. The researchers believe that if the alginates can block this enzyme, less fat would be absorbed by the body, which would stop people from becoming obese. However, the research did not draw any definitive conclusions, the most pertinent being that weight loss would not necessarily occur in humans (or even in mice). It's also unclear whether any potential effect from seaweed extract would lead to an improvement in weight-related health issues, such as reduced risk of diabetes. Even if the alginates studied were successful in achiev
