Wild sea greens, saltwater and coastal plants, food capsules and granules.
Wild sea greens can help to build and sustain the broad nutritional balance of vitamins, minerals and vital nutrients on which optimum health and vitality depend. The basis of any diet. The use of depleted soil/pesticide and herbicides (modern farming) and food processing worsens this imbalance.
Seagreens in addition contains important nutrients not common in our normal food like:
Glyco-nutrients, hydrocolloids, polysaccharides and Dietary fiber,
The important glycol-nutrients are fucose, galactose, glucose, mannose and xylose. Only two of these glyconutrients... glucose and galactose... are found abundantly in our typical (effluent) modern-day diet. Seaweed contains small amounts of all of the essential glycol-nutrients which you do need for your body to function properly. They are at the basis of communication between cells, delivering the messages that enable cells to work together to keep your body healthy and balanced.
Consumption of hydrocolloids has been found to, increase stool weight, alter gut transit time, alter activity of the colonic micro flora, influence appetite, absorb toxins and modify the absorption of fats, sugars, minerals and bile acids.
Polysaccharides, several ‘seaweed’ pigments including chlorophyll, and all the antioxidant vitamins and minerals, help cleanse the digestive tract, blood, lymph, and kidneys, and neutralize cholesterol.
Dietary Fiber for Health, Lack of fiber a problem of Western society. While the physiological properties of the different polysaccharide are difficult to predict they do affect physicochemical properties such as fermentation, water-holding capacity, viscosity, and bile acid binding. Dietary fiber is now accepted as having protective effects against a range of diseases. ‘Dietary fiber’ defined as plant material that resists digestion by the secreted enzymes of the human alimentary tract. Some may be fermented by micro flora in the colon. Most hydrocolloids can be listed as fiber. Increased fiber consumption associated with lowering total serum cholesterol and LDL cholesterol, and protecting the large intestine from disease.
The Spanish researchers also suggest that the dietary fiber derived from sea greens/vegetables have anti mutagenic (the ability to prevent cellular mutations that are potential risk factors for cancer), anticoagulant (the ability to prevent blood clotting) and antioxidant effects.
Increase of fiber used to assist against colorectal cancer, coronary heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and biventricular disease. The basic components of dietary fiber are non-starch polysaccharides, hetero polysaccharides, pectin’s.
A major, component of plant foods that escape absorption and digestion in the small intestine and behaves, at least physiologically, as dietary fiber is resistant starch. Growing of the beneficial bacteria as bifid bacteria in the gut.)
