Health Benefits of Seaweed

Control Blood Sugar

Diabetes is a common health issue that happens when the body cannot process the levels of blood sugar. Studies have shown that seaweed can have promising effects on preventing and treating this condition. It contains fucoxanthin, which is effective in controlling blood sugar. People with a genetic disposition to insulin resistance followed type 2 diabetes experienced significant improvements after taking seaweed oil. In addition, another component called alginate can prevent the body from absorbing sugar into the bloodstream. This helps avoid a blood sugar spike after high-sugar meals. [4]
