The benefits of seaweed lie not only in nutrition, but also in health care.
British researchers discovered in the 1990s that seaweed can kill cancer cells and enhance immunity. Phycobiliprotein contained in seaweed has the application prospect of lowering blood sugar and anti-tumor, and polysaccharide has many biological activities such as anti-aging, reducing blood fat and anti-tumor. Alguronic acid contained in seaweed also helps to remove toxic metals such as strontium and cadmium from the human body. Medical staff have also developed marine drugs and health foods with unique activities from seaweed, which can effectively prevent nerve aging and regulate the body's metabolism. In addition, seaweed can also prevent and treat peptic ulcer, delay aging and help women keep their skin smooth and healthy. Some folk remedies often let postpartum women eat seaweed, which is said to have obvious lactation effect.
Although seaweed has various benefits, people who are deficient in spleen and stomach and prone to abdominal distension should not eat more, because Chinese medicine believes that seaweed is sweet, salty and cold. In addition, people who need to control salt should also appropriately restrain the consumption of seasoned laver, and can eat some seasoned laver slices appropriately.
Seaweed is very light, and it can only be eaten from a few grams to a dozen grams a day, so it is of little significance in providing protein and fat. In contrast, people pay more attention to the significance of providing trace elements.
Although seaweed has various benefits, Chinese medicine believes that seaweed is sweet and salty, cold in nature, and can clear away heat, resolve phlegm and induce diuresis. Eating seaweed in summer can relieve summer heat and benefit the body. People with high blood pressure, tuberculosis, beriberi and lung heat and phlegm are suitable for eating seaweed, while people with spleen and stomach deficiency and abdominal distension are not suitable for eating seaweed. Because seaweed is seasoned in processing and contains a lot of salt, people who need to control salt should also appropriately restrain the consumption of seasoned seaweed, and can eat some seasoned seaweed slices (baked seaweed, which is also a common sushi seaweed) appropriately. Seaweed has a high salt content, so it is not suitable for excessive consumption. It is best not to exceed 1 2 at a time (50G, 1 slice 19*2 1 sushi seaweed is 2.7g). Especially for young children and people with hypertension, don't eat too much, and guardians should pay attention to control it.
