Health Benefits of Seaweed

Help with Weight Loss

Seaweed is a great source of fiber and contains no calories. Eating this food can help slow the emptying of the stomach, thus delaying hunger and making you feel full longer. Also, many studies have shown that seaweed has anti-obesity effects. A special component in the food called fucoxanthin can decrease body fat and help with weight loss. Consider adding seaweed to the diet several times during the week to achieve a healthy body weight. [3]
