Seaweed – The Superhero of Superfoods

Chuka seaweed salad

In the realm of superfoods, seaweed has been underrated.  For years, seaweed has been wrapped around spicy tuna rolls or was used as an ingredient for salad, but it’s recently come to the attention of nutritionists and foodies alike that seaweed just might be the superhero of superfoods!

With its low calorie, nutrient-packed makeup, seaweed has many benefits that make eating it trendier than ever before.

Some reasons to try this healthy option are:

Seaweed…

  • contains vitamins A and C, calcium, iodine and potassium
  • is rich in protein
  • can help regulate estrogen and estradiol levels
  • is packed full of antioxidants
  • contains a healthy amount of dietary fiber
  • is full of heart healthy fats

If there is a downside to eating seaweed, it would be its sticky, slimy texture, but the healthy benefits far outweigh any downside.
