You can not only take advantage of kelp’s wonderful properties on the inside of your body, the outside of your body can benefit as well, in helping you fight aging.
Kelp is a brown seaweed and in some parts of the world such as Japan, Alaska and Hawaii kelp is a part of the normal diet.
It is very beneficial for people who suffer with low thyroid function, pregnant women and people on a low salt diet.
This seaweed contains 23 minerals, including chlorophyll, folic acid, vitamins A, B12, D and iodine.
As iodine is not stored in the body, it needs to be taken on a daily basis.
The amount of iodine a person needs in a life time is very minimal, it is less than a teaspoon.
Kelp benefits will help with health problems such as;
- brittle nails and hair
- obesity

- dry skin
- weight gain
- fatigue

- cold hands and feet
- poor concentration and memory
- enlarged thyroid gland
- kills herpes virus
- hair loss
- poor digestion
- bowl gas
Other natural sources to find iodine are cereals, pulses, fresh foods, seafood, poultry, meat and eggs; sea salt on the other hand contains very little iodine.
Kelp contains sodium alginate, which is very good for the body’s removal of heavy metals, and contains alkali, which is important for your body’s ph chemistry.
If your body does not maintain a proper ph balance, it does not function properly. You can suffer from things like acid indigestion, because your body has too much acid and not enough alkaline. Alkali will help bring your body back into balance when it gets too acidic.
