I’ve been recommending sea vegetables as part of my healing programs – weight loss, cellulite control, detoxification, beautiful hair and skin, and more. Sea vegetables can transform your health.
They are twelve times more nutritious than the average vegetable.
They are rich in minerals and vital trace minerals that we can barely find even in the richest organic soil, especially iodine, iron, B6, B12, magnesium and many others.
Sea vegetables are generally sold in dehydrated form, and if they’re stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark place, such as a kitchen cupboard or pantry, they will keep indefinitely. Because they’re dry when purchased, sea vegetables require soaking in water prior to use. Two exceptions are nori sheets and kelp, both of which can be eaten right out of the package.
Sea vegetables help your body in numerous ways:
- Weight Management - The thyroid gland is under attack these days. More people have thyroid issues than ever before. Sea vegetables are a tonic for thyroid function, and increasing thyroid function can be beneficial for weight loss.
- Beautiful Skin – With their internal moisturizing properties, improved detoxification results, and high concentration of skin-friendly nutrients, sea vegetables are huge in the natural beauty industry.
- Remove Radioactive Compounds – Brown seaweed binds and expels radioactive isotopes from the thyroid gland. Detoxification is essential in the post-industrial age.
- Remove Heavy Metals - Our ancestors never had to deal with cadmium, mercury and lead the way we do now. Sea vegetables (Wakame, Arame, Hijiki, and Kombu) help the body efficiently detox these industrial waste products.

If sea vegetables are good at pulling heavy metals out of our bodies by ingesting them than it scares me to think what they must already have in them coming out of our polluted oceans . They must already be full of all kinds of toxic metals ! Do you know something about this that would cause this not to be so? I hope so because I use to like eating them before this logic dawned on me .

Judith, Some seaweed companies regularly check the waters where they harvest their seaweed such as:
Mendocino Sea Vegetable Company: http://www.seaweed.net
Mountain Rose Herbs http://www.mountainroseherbs.com
Seaweed Ireland: http://seaweedireland.com
BC Kelp: http://www.bckelp.com/>
Several scientific studies have been performed to measure the amount of metals present in seaweed. Results from these studies show that metal contamination of seaweed depends on three major factors, including where the seaweed was harvested, the type of seaweed, and the specific metal. For example, in a small Canadian study (Van Netten et al., Science of the Total Environment, 2000), seaweed grown in waters near British Columbia, Canada generally had lower amounts of heavy metals, especially of mercury, than seaweeds grown in Japan and Norway, possibly due to lower amounts of these metals in British Columbia waters. All seaweed samples – even those grown in Japan and Norway – however, had metal levels that are generally thought of as safe to eat.
Hope this will help!
