Seaweed

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone.

Attached please find the May 11, 2006 Wholly Macro Delivery Menu.

Below I have included an interesting bit of information related to

sea vegetables.

I teach many people about their importance, in private health

consultations, in cooking classes, in lectures, and one of the

things I like to say, is that sea vegetables provide " natural

chelation " , in fact the entire macrobiotic diet is naturally

chelating. In other words, it removes heavy metals, radiation, and

toxins from the body. And please also note, that sea vegetables

contain vitamin B 12, a topic of concern for many of my clients.

So enjoy the article:

Why eat seaweeds? Human blood and body fluids are similar in

chemical composition to sea water, containing over 80 minerals and

trace elements. Without replenishment of these nutrients, we become

weak hosts for infection. Sea vegetables concentrate these nutrients

from sea water in a form that is assimilable by the human body,

making seaweeds a truly natural and holistic mineral supplement. All

seaweeds contain protein, especially nori and dulse. All contain

vitamin B-12, a necessary vitamin unavailable from land vegetables.

Most are rich in vitamin A and many species are rich in vitamins B

and C. The carbohydrates (sugars and starches) in seaweeds become

more assimilable by the digestive system as one eats them over time.

Many contain gels in one of three types: algin, agar or carrageenan.

These gels have thickening and toxin eliminating properties. Sodium

alginate is the healing element in seaweeds that eliminates poisons

such as radiation (strontium 90 and cesium 137) and pollution (heavy

metals) from the body.

Be healthy. Be happy!!
