Benefits 1, improve immunity: seaweed is rich in vitamins A and C, as well as a variety of minerals and antioxidants. These elements help to enhance immunity and improve the body's disease resistance.
2. Improve heart health: Omega-3 fatty acids in seaweed can help regulate blood lipids and blood pressure, prevent atherosclerosis and reduce the risk of heart disease.
3. Eye protection: Seaweed is rich in lutein and zeaxanthin, which are necessary to maintain eye health and help prevent eye problems, such as age-related macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa.
4, promote digestion: seaweed contains a substance called cellulose, which can help the digestive tract work normally and help reduce constipation.
5, sexual health: seaweed contains an amino acid called aspartic acid, which can promote the secretion of androgen in the body and play a role in enhancing sexual desire.
Disadvantages 1, thyroid hyperstimulation: Seaweed is rich in iodine, and excessive intake may lead to hyperthyroidism or goiter.
2, aluminum poisoning: seaweed will absorb aluminum ions in the environment, so the aluminum content in seaweed is high. Excessive intake of aluminum may lead to aluminum poisoning.
3. Allergic reaction: Some people are allergic to seaweed foods, such as seaweed. Excessive intake may cause allergic reactions such as itchy skin and edema.
4. Rejection: Seaweed contains two amino acids, aspartic acid and isoleucine. These amino acids are easily decarboxylated at high temperature, which may lead to rejection, headache, nausea, palpitation and other symptoms.
Conclusion Although seaweed has high nutritional value and is easy to digest, excessive consumption may lead to health problems, so it should be eaten in moderation, and attention should be paid to the preservation of seaweed to avoid the adsorption of aluminum ions. If you are allergic or accidentally ingest too much seaweed, you should seek medical advice promptly.
In a word, seaweed, as a kind of healthy food, has advantages and disadvantages, and moderate consumption is beneficial to the body.
