HEALTH BENEFITS OF SEA GRAPES
Reduce the risk of diabetes
Vitamin C helps the body control sugar levels and free radical activity, reduces intracellular sorbitol accumulation, and inhibits the binding of glucose to proteins. Sorbitol accumulation and glycosylation are closely related to diabetic complications, especially eye and nerve complications. Vitamin C in seaweed can help prevent and improve the condition of diabetes.
Helps strengthen bones
Sea grapes are rich in protein, calcium and polyunsaturated fatty acids in the omega 3 group (DHA, EPA, ALA), which have anti-inflammatory effects and reduce the symptoms of arthritis. Therefore, eating this type of seaweed will help you have a flexible skeleton and no longer fear the risk of osteoporosis.
Enhance eyesight
Sea grapes are rich in iron and vitamin A, so they help enhance the function of the optic nerve, improve eyesight and prevent eye diseases such as night blindness, dry eyes, etc.
Good for the heart
Sea grapes contain unsaturated fatty acids AA, LA, DHA, EPA and ALA which help reduce cholesterol and increase the elasticity of blood vessels. The acids in seaweed also have the effect of preventing oxidation, maintaining the collagen structure of arteries, thereby helping to prevent cardiovascular diseases such as stroke, atherosclerosis or myocardial infarction.
Skin care
The fat in seaweed will help protect cell membranes, improve the elasticity of blood vessel walls, thereby reducing symptoms of dry skin. Seaweed also has the ability to produce collagen and antioxidants, two substances considered “natural cosmetics” that help improve skin, hair and slow down the aging process very well.
Relieve constipation
Sea grapes contain very low calories and sugar, allowing bacteria to easily digest food and excrete waste quickly. Therefore, seaweed is very effective in treating constipation in both adults and children.
