Kelp is called longevity dish

Kelp(Laminaria japonica) is a large perennial edible algae. Sporophytes are large, brown, flat bands. Blade, shank and fixator, fixator is pseudorrhiza. The leaf is composed of epidermis, cortex and pith. Has mucous cavity, can secrete slippery substance. Tree - like branches for attaching to seafloor rocks and growing in colder seas.

Kelp is an important Marine resource with low cost and rich nutrition.

The algal body is a long flat leaf, brown green, with two longitudinal furrows running through the middle of the leaf, forming a central zone, generally 1.5-3m long, 15-25cm wide, the longest up to 6m, up to 50cm wide.

Kelp belongs to subboreal algae, which is endemic to the North Pacific and also has some kelp distribution in the Atlantic ocean. Most of kelp is distributed in the northern hemisphere, while a small amount of kelp is distributed in the southern hemisphere, generally growing on the submarine rocks in the subtidal zone. The growth of kelp is mainly affected by temperature, light, nutrients and plant hormones.

Nutrients of kelp

Kelp is rich in kelp polysaccharides. So far, three kinds of polysaccharides have been found: Brown algae gum, fucose gum and brown algae starch. It also contains acidic polysaccharides, fucogalactylpolysaccharide sulfate, macrophytin, galacturonic acid, quinbuline, taurine, bifidobacteria and other active ingredients. Kelp is a nutrient-rich edible brown algae, containing more than 60 nutrients. According to the determination, every 100g contains 8g protein, 0.1g fat, 0.57mg carotene, 0.09mg VB, 0.36mg VB1, 1.6mg niacin, 1.177mg calcium, 1.50mg iron, 2.16mg phosphorus, also contains rich cinnamic acid, cellulose, mannitol and a variety of trace elements. Kelp is an ideal natural Marine food with low calorie, moderate protein and rich mineral content.

The effect of kelp

(1) Radiation resistance

Kelp prevents absorption of the radioactive element strontium. After radioactive strontium enters the human body, it is very harmful to the human body. It can emit radiation in the body, cause damage to the bone marrow, damage its hematopoietic function, affect the growth of bone marrow, and induce bone cancer and leukemia. Sodium alginate in kelp can not only prevent strontium from being absorbed by digestive tract, but also discharge old radioactive strontium in organism. In addition, sodium alginate in the body has the role of lead discharge. Lead into the human body will cause serious harm to the nervous system and hematopoietic system, and often eat kelp will play the role of lead discharge.

(2) Prevention and treatment of goiter

The human body is short of iodine can suffer from goiter, children lack iodine brain and sexual organs can not fully develop, short stature, mental retardation, namely suffering from so-called "idiopathic disease". Kelp contains very rich iodine, edible kelp has very good effect to prevention and treatment goiter, can promote intelligence development.

(3) Slimming effect

Kelp has a chemical that prevents the body from absorbing fat, which is great for weight loss. Researchers at Newcastle University in the UK have found that alginate, which is found in kelp, effectively inhibits the digestion and absorption of fat. When levels of one type of epigastric rose four-fold, the body's ability to fight fat absorption increased by 75 percent.

(4) Beauty salon 

Kelp contains a variety of vitamins, especially carotene, which can be transformed into vitamins. Vitamins help to form glycoproteins, maintain the normal function of the skin, prevent infection and skin diseases, keep the skin smooth and delicate, and enhance toughness. Kelp also contains a lot of nutrients such as sulfur protein, which is of great benefit to hairdressing.

(5) Reduce blood pressure, blood lipid and blood sugar

Kelp contains dietary fiber potassium alginate, can adjust the balance of sodium and potassium, reduce the absorption of sodium by the human body, thus play the role of lowering blood pressure. In our country folk, there is edible steamed kelp to reduce blood pressure practice.  Kelp can reduce blood fat because of colloidal fiber to reduce plasma cholesterol has an effect.

Kelp in addition to a variety of vitamins and trace elements, there is a large amount of dietary fiber, especially soluble fiber has a high proportion. Dietary fiber is not is broken down by enzymes in the human gut is the plant components, in the human body can be through a variety of specific mechanisms play a role, mainly have bibulous inflation increase satiety, accelerate gastric emptying, lower lumen pH value, promote the metabolism of bile acid, reduce the cholesterol in blood, and improve the islet cells zhou min sensibility to reduce blood sugar, promote the body energy lost over feces and so on, Thus achieve hypoglycemic effect.
