A Natural and Healthier Salt Alternative
Sodium is vital for certain functions in your body. You can’t live without it. But it is very easy to consume far more than you actually need as salt is often hidden in the food we eat.
There’s a large body of evidence to show that too much sodium causes high blood pressure which is one of the most significant contributors to both heart disease and stroke, and raises your risk of developing eye problems and kidney disease.
A natural alternative to salt is a great way to start cutting down your sodium intake. Seaweed has, on average, between 9-12% sodium versus table and gourmet salts which have as much as 98% sodium. But what about all that salty flavour that tastes so good?
Well seaweeds naturally contain high levels of minerals, including sodium but also other key minerals such as potassium, magnesium, zinc, iron and calcium that can all add to the “saltiness” of seaweed and play a role in flavour development.
If you find yourself craving high-sodium foods like crisps, try seaweed instead and the craving will disappear. Eating seaweed regularly will decrease your desire for salty junk food because you are getting ample amounts of complex salts.
