| Description: Kelp is fastest-growing perennial seaweed that can grow at a rate of 2 ft. a day to reach over 40 to 65 meters (44 to 71 yards) in height in one growing season. The plant can be found growing on rocky shores of all world seas and oceans. kelp grows directly upon their parent female gametophyte. To establish itself, young kelp produces one or two primary blades, and begins a basic holdfast, which serves to anchor the plant to the rocky bottom. As the kelp grows, additional blades develop from the growing tip, while the holdfast enlarges and may entirely cover the rock to which it is attached. Growth occurs with lengthening of the stipe (central stalk), and splitting of the blades. At the growing tip is a single blade, at the base of which develop small gas bladders along one side. As the bladders and stipe grow, small tears develop in the attached blade. Once the tears have completed, each bladder supports a single separate blade along the stipe, with the bladders and their blades attached at irregular intervals. kelp forests support and protect many marine species such as sea urchins, sea stars, crabs and many species of fish. Health Benefits: 1. Protects Thyroid Health Iodine is one of the most important elements in our thyroid gland and it helps to regulate hormonal function throughout the body. kelp consists of good amount of iodine which helps in proper functioning of the thyroid health. Proper amounts of iodine guarantee a functional metabolism and proper enzymatic activity throughout the body. kelp should be used frequently to solve all the thyroid related problems. 2. Improves Bone Mineral Density Kelp consists of impressive amount of minerals (more than 40!), including essential minerals like calcium, boron, zinc, copper, and manganese all ensure that our bones remain strong and that any bone damage heals quickly. Healthy diet of kelp can help to prevent the start of osteoporosis or other bone mineral deficiencies. 3. Prevents Cancer Talking about antioxidants, kelp is a wonderful source of vitamin C and other vitamins that are shown to be effective in seeking out free radicals and neutralizing them. Additionally, it contains "fucoidan", which induces apoptosis, or cell death, in cancer cells, while leaving healthy cells alone. kelp is often consumed specially by women in Asia because of its proven record against breast cancer. 4. Increases Protein Content Kelp consists of 16 different amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein. By helping to boost the protein content in our body, kelp help us regulate cellular growth, wound healing, muscle development, organ function, and a wide range of other necessary bodily processes that require proteins. 5. Stay Slim With Kelp If you are trying to lose weight, kelp is one of the best options. kelp has shown anti-obesity properties in many researches. The effect of fucoxanthin in fighting fat, however, is maximized by adding other elements like pomegranate oil to it. 6. Maintains pH Balance As a distinctly alkaline food, kelp helps to maintain the acid-base balance in our body, which is vital for many bodily processes and digestion. 7. Works against Inflammation and Bone Loss Kelp consists of good amount of anti-inflammatory property. It is highly recommended to have foods that prevent inflammation to avoid many diseases including cancer. Here too fucoidan plays an important role. Apart from this property, having kelp as you age is very beneficial as it can prevent bone loss. It also increases bone density and bone ash weight. 8. Prevents Radiation Effects As we have mentioned before kelp consists of high levels of iodine, which can actually prevent the uptake of irradiated iodine by the thyroid gland, thus protecting the body from the disastrous effects of radiation poisoning, which often leads to cancer. This herb is especially important in Japan, following the radiation disaster at Fukushima. 9. Fights Blood Disorders and Diabetes Compound fucoidan found abundantly in brown algae like kelp is found to fight many blood disorders including blood pressure. It helps avoid blood clots and ischemic diseases. Seaweeds like kelp can also control blood sugar level, lower blood lipids, and even reduce your risk for cardiovascular diseases related to diabetes. |
