10 Benefits Of Eating Kelp
Kelp Benefit #8: Weight Management
Kelp has been linked to blocking the absorption of fat. Research has found that alginate, a compound in algae, can help block fat absorption by 75%. This is very beneficial for individuals who are trying to decrease their caloric intake. In addition, new research considers adding the alginate into numerous foods such as yogurt and bread, so people can reap the benefits of the kelp’s effect against fat.
To continue, kelp may also have positive effects on individuals who suffer from obesity. One study found the algae combined with pomegranate oil promoted weight loss in obese individuals. It is believed to promote weight loss by slowing stomach emptying. Foods that promote slow emptying make you feel full longer.
