People who do use sea kelp are less likely to develop health problems which lead to heart disease, obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure.

Kelp is rich in Dietary fibre which is generally accepted as having protective effects against a range of diseases. The term dietary fiber is defined as plant material that resists digestion by the secreted enzymes of the human alimentary tract . However they may be  fermented by micro flora in the colon. Most hydro-colloids can be listed as fiber. Increased fiber consumption has been associated with lowering total serum cholesterol and LDL cholesterol, modifying the glycemic and insulinemic response and protecting the large intestine from disease.

Increase of fiber to assist against including colorectal cancer, coronary heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and diverticular disease. Lack of fiber a problem of Western society. These Non-digestible oligo-saccharides or fibre have aroused significant interest due to their ability to stimulate growth of potentially beneficial bacteria such as Bifido-bacteria in the gut.

The benefits of the use lay in Iodine content, antioxidants and the anti-inflammatory effects.

Health is a multi dimensional choice and important for the realization of your full potential and slow down of the ageing process. A good diet should keep you healthy.

Relying solely on land-based food sources often lead to deficiencies in micro-nutrients and trace elements. Tradition has it that the products and food of the land should be combined with products of the  sea like fish, shellfish and seaweed. It is the story about iodine; terrestrial plants  contain only trace amounts of iodine (0.001 mg/gm), marine plants however have high concentrations of this nutrient (0.5)

Kelp ( brown type seaweeds) contain the full spectrum of organic (photo-synthetic)vitamins, trace minerals, lipids, plant sterols, amino acids. Omega 3's and 6's, anti-oxidants, growth hormones, poly-phenols.

The brown type marine plant like kelp contains in addition sodium alginate (algin), an element that helps remove radioactive particles and heavy metals from the body.

Kelp aids digestion, works as a blood purifier, relieves arthritis stiffness, and promotes adrenal, pituitary and thyroid health. It's natural iodine can normalize thyroid-related disorders like overweight and lymph system congestions. It is a demulcent that helps eliminate herpes outbreaks.

Our bodies can not produce any minerals/trace elements and is dependent on food (external source) for it. Minerals in general and iodine especially. The well known Thyroid hormones are very old molecules which are synthesized by almost all multicellular and even uni-cellar organisms like the algae and at the basis of our body chemistry. No life without Iodine.

The decline in the minerals content of many plants is the result of Environmental changes that have lead to a increase in depletion of minerals and other organic compounds from our food with a steady deterioration in soil, air, and water quality.
