Kelp is often eaten as a food to supplement iodine, but excessive iodine intake will induce goiter. But eating with tofu can reduce this possibility. Because the swollen saponins of beans can reduce the absorption of cholesterol, but can increase the excretion of iodine. The combination of kelp and tofu can supplement iodine for tofu, and the saponins in tofu can also reduce excessive iodine in kelp, so that the human body can absorb other beneficial nutrients in the two foods and maintain the balance of iodine in the body.

Slimming effect

Kelp, also known as Chinese cabbage, is a kind of bath that grows on rocks at the bottom of the sea and is mostly cultivated in coastal areas. Kelp contains a lot of nutrients, it is rich in minerals such as potassium and iodine, and it is very nutritious to human body.

Kelp contains a lot of iodine and has the reputation of "the crown of 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. In fact, the thick neck is caused by hypothyroidism, and iodine can promote the function of thyroid, which is quite helpful for calorie consumption and body metabolism, so as to achieve the purpose of losing weight and controlling weight.

Potassium is also the main source of kelp nutrition. Many people ignore potassium and one third of the nutrients. 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, and the excess sodium will divert water, causing cell edema, and more obviously, the weight will not come down. However, if potassium ions are ingested sufficiently, 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.

Moreover, kelp also contains a lot of unsaturated fatty acids and dietary fiber, which can quickly remove excess cholesterol from the blood vessel wall and help gastric juice secretion, thus achieving the purpose of digestion and greatly helping gastrointestinal peristalsis.

Kelp is low in calories and rich in colloid and minerals. Kelp is also rich in soluble fiber, which is easier to digest and absorb than ordinary fiber and helps the body to defecate smoothly. And we can take kelp as snacks or snacks, because kelp will not gain weight.

Tofu is rich in amino acids and protein, and it is a good supplementary food for cereals.

Tofu fat is 78% unsaturated fatty acid and contains no cholesterol, so it is called "vegetable meat". The digestion and absorption rate of tofu is above 95%. Two small pieces of tofu can meet a person's daily calcium requirement.

Tofu is a nourishing, heat-clearing and health-preserving food. Regular eating can tonify the middle energizer, clear away heat and moisten dryness, promote fluid production to quench thirst and clear the stomach. It is more suitable for people with heat constitution, bad breath, thirst, indigestion and fever.
