Kelp effect

(1) Kelp contains a lot of iodine and has the reputation of "the highest alkaline food". A few years ago, it was said that many people had thick necks because they had been eating big salt instead of iodized salt.

Potassium is a mineral that can eliminate floating meat in the body and help balance sodium in the body. If there is too little potassium in the body, the balance of sodium and potassium in the body will be unbalanced. Excessive sodium will transfer water, cause cell edema, and more obviously, the body weight will not drop.

(4) However, if the human body ingests enough potassium ions, sodium ions will not retain excess water. Therefore, potassium ion can help the metabolism of excess water in the body, eliminate edema and improve the modification curve of floating meat. Algae contain these minerals, which are helpful to the body.

(5) Moreover, kelp also contains a large amount of unsaturated fatty acids and dietary fiber, which can quickly remove excess cholesterol on the blood vessel wall and help gastric juice to secrete, thus achieving the purpose of digestion and greatly helping gastrointestinal peristalsis.
