Try Sea Vegetables

Gram for gram, sea vegetables – seaweeds and algae – are higher in essential vitamins and minerals than any other food group. These minerals are bio-available to the body in chelated, colloidal forms that make them more easily absorbed. Sea vegetables that provide minerals in this colloidal form have been shown to retain their molecular identity while remaining in liquid suspension. The following is a descriptive list of what sea vegetables can add to your daily diet:

They can contain as much as 48 percent protein.
They are a rich source of both soluble and insoluble dietary fiber.
The brown sea varieties – kelp, wakame, and kombu – contain alginic acid, which has been shown to remove heavy metals and radioactive isotopes from the digestive tract.
They contain significant amounts of vitamin A, in the form of beta-carotene, as well as vitamins B, C, and E.
They are high in potassium, calcium, sodium, iron, and chloride.
They provide the fifty-six minerals and trace minerals that your body requires to function properly.
