【Benefits of Seaweed】
Seaweed can prevent and treat thyroid dysfunction. Seaweed contains a large amount of iodine, about 5 grams per 1000 grams of seaweed. Iodine is the main component of thyroid hormone in the human body. Long-term iodine deficiency can damage the function of the thyroid, leading to thyroid diseases.
It can prevent and treat hypertension and arteriosclerosis. If the body lacks iodine, the weakened secretion of the thyroid gland will result in incomplete oxidation of carbohydrates and fats, leading to weight gain or arteriosclerosis. Seaweed can hinder the absorption of cholesterol in the body, reducing cholesterol levels.
It has the function of increasing blood and preventing blood clotting. Seaweed is rich in iron and vitamin B12, both of which are important substances for blood production. It also contains a substance that can reduce blood viscosity, so it can both replenish blood and prevent blood clotting.
It can prevent constipation and promote bowel movements. Seaweed contains soluble dietary fiber called algin, which can absorb water and soften the stool, thus promoting bowel movements.
It can prevent cancer. Seaweed is rich in calcium, which can prevent blood acidification and help prevent cancer.
Seaweed is rich in potassium, which helps balance excessive sodium intake.
【Benefits of Tofu】
Tofu is one of the most commonly consumed foods in our daily life. It is not only affordable but also nutritious. As the saying goes, "Eating tofu is better than eating meat, it is both cost-effective and nourishing."
In addition to its nutritional value, tofu also has many therapeutic effects. According to traditional Chinese medicine, tofu has the taste of sweetness, the property of coolness, and it enters the spleen, stomach, and large intestine meridians. It has the functions of clearing heat, moisturizing dryness, detoxifying, tonifying the middle, producing body fluids, and regulating the intestines.
Traditional Chinese medicine often uses the heat-clearing and detoxifying, as well as the moisturizing effects of tofu, to treat heat-related gastrointestinal disorders and yin deficiency.
