Kelp, commonly known as seaweed, belongs to the brown algae group and classified as Laminariales. There are 30 kinds of Kelp, all of which are rich in nutrients and are used by soe as their primary diet supplement. Kelp is a good source of vitamins and minerals including essential minerals, known to be an excellent anti-aging nutrient.

Kelp contains significant amounts of Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids and iodine. This helps to strengthen the circulatory system, lowers the risk of strokes, heart disease, and provides many cancer fighting benefits. The iodine contained in Kelp helps stimulate the thyroid glands and controls metabolism, which is a boost to anti-aging by helping control weight.

The iodine content in Kelp serves as a natural antibiotic helping the body ward off infections. If your diet does not contain enough iodine, your thyroid must work harder and can become enlarged. A trip to your Naturopathic physician should put you on the right course to the correct supplementation for your body.

Another anti-aging benefit is that Kelp is an excellent detoxifier and helps reduce cellulite. You’ll notice that Kelp is widely used in many anti-cellulite products as it helps in face and body firming. Kelp helps fight acne, wrinkles, lightens dark spots and also heals sunburn. Anti-agers can appreciate this kind of skin help.

You can find Kelp in powder, capsules, granules and even kelp noodles. These noodles are gluten free, fat free and low in carbohydrates which makes them excellent additions to salads, broths and stir fries. You may consider them an alternative to pasta or rice noodles.

Go ahead and enjoy Kelp in a wide range of anti-aging health and beauty products.

Have a fun and successful day,
