Role of food, use of seaweed and algae.
-
Seaweed has been part of the traditional diet of all coastal cultures.From Japan and China to Hawaii, Wales, Scotland, Iceland and Ireland.
Seen as a valuable product, nutritive, source of salt, for seasoning/fermenting or as herb/medicine. A reputation for: being Nutritive, to Enhance Health, Boost Immunity, Detoxify
It is now strongly recommended to eat enough vegetables and fruit. The biggest void in American diets is probably the reduced use of green vegetables. Half the population hardly eats them at all. Vegetables like spinach, kale, collard and broccoli. An alternative be the use of seaweed vegetables or greens.
-
The U.S. Government has now increased its suggestion of fruit and vegetable intake from 3-5 servings per day to 5-13 servings per day. Another problem is that if you eat a lot offruit your body will get in addition a lot of low carbon sugars.
An second void in the American diet is the extensive use of foods of animal origin and saturated fat as found in milk and red meat.
High-fiber vegetable foods including sea vegetables are the healthiest choices for human nutrition, and intake of these foods is associated with lowered incidences of hypertension, cancer, arthritis, diabetes, etc. While it is true that fiber is an important part of your diet, even necessary to protect you from some diseases, carbohydrates themselves are not necessary. The primary function of carbohydrates is to provide energy for the body, especially the brain and the nervous system. Your liver breaks down carbohydrates into glucose (blood sugar), which is used for energy by the body.

Advice: For most people, between 40% and 60% of total calories should come from carbohydrates, preferably from complex carbohydrates (starches) and naturally occurring sugars. Complex carbohydrates provide calories, containing vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
Slimming/carbohydrates:
-

Potatoes, breads, cereals, and other foods high in complex carbohydrates have been regarded as cheap and essential - a staple for the poor. Now, as diets high in fats are being linked to heart disease and some cancers, as protein-rich meals are no longer the breakfast of champions, as high dietary fiber is in, might possibly reduce the risk of colon cancer and heart disease to, and the Americans know that a 5-ounce steak has more calories than an equal amount of bread, pasta or potatoes, complex carbohydrates are becoming the chosen food of health-conscious diners.
-
Proper digestion must prepare these cells for integration into the existing body structure. This is a complex and difficult process. You need proteins for healthy cells that are biologically active, as well as other building blocks, such as minerals and vitamins, in sufficient amounts. Fresh and uncooked vegetables contain lots of suitable cells which can provide those building blocks. Only vegetable juices were used during the artificial rejuvenation process we described earlier.
In cooking your food most of the cells get damaged. Even if you eat enough, there might be a shortage of suitable cells. The same happens to food stored cold. The process of decay will be slowed but is not stopped.

Seaweed or Algae, Nutritive, to Enhance Health, Boost
Immunity, Detoxify.
From a
nutritional point of view, seaweeds are low-calorie foods, with a high
concentration of minerals, vitamins, proteins and indigestible carbohydrates
and lipids. Sea Plants are more potent
than land plant because they contain a great number of organic compounds known
as phyto (plant) chemicals. Many of these organic compounds are important, but
are missing in our food supply. | |
