Seaweed is the bomb

When you think of seaweed, you might immediately think of sushi. The ‘paper’ in which the rice is rolled or that salad with neon-colored vegetable strips. Delicious, indeed. But seaweed is eaten in many more dishes than just sushi. It falls incredibly under a food that is really very super. All of Hollywood also swears by seaweed chips, leaves, drinks, and candies, because it works wonders for your body.

• Seaweed is a very good snack if you're craving something. It contains no sugar, but it's also not chips. No, seaweed is packed with minerals and vitamins, it increases oxygen intake, detoxifies, and supports digestion.
• Seaweed regulates blood pressure, but also blood sugar levels.
• Seaweed contains a lot of zinc, magnesium, omega fatty acids, and antioxidants. A mouthful indeed, but these are all things that will make your skin glow.
• Seaweed contains a lot of iron and vitamin C.
• Seaweed promotes faster fat burning.
• Chlorophyll (forget this name right away) is the green pigment found in seaweed that helps suppress hunger and has anti-inflammatory properties.
