The sea has more than just fish… it also contains massive amounts of vegetation.<\/p>\n
Usually referred to as “seaweed,” there are thousands of different plant species in the ocean, some of which are incredibly nutritious (13).<\/p>\n
In many cases, seaweed is even more nutritious than vegetables from the land. It is particularly high in minerals like Calcium, Iron, Magnesium and Manganese (14).<\/p>\n
It is also loaded with various bioactive compounds, including phycocyanins and carotenoids. Some of these substances are antioxidants with powerful anti-inflammatory activity (15).<\/p>\n
But where seaweed really shines is in its high content of iodine, a mineral that is used to make thyroid hormones.<\/p>\n
Just eating a high-iodine seaweed like kelp a few times per month can give your body all the iodine that it needs.<\/p>\n
If you don’t like the thought of eating seaweed, then you can also get it as a supplement. Dried kelp tablets are very cheap and loaded with iodine.<\/p>\n
Many sushi dishes also include seaweed in them, along with other goodies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
