Medicinal value of seaweed Although seaweed has many benefits, Chinese medicine believes that seaweed is sweet and salty, cold in nature, can clear away heat, resolve phlegm, and promote diuresis. Eating more seaweed in summer can relieve heat and replenish the body. Hypertension patients, tuberculosis patients, beriberi patients, and people with lung heat and phlegm are suitable for eating more seaweed, but people with weak spleen and stomach and prone to bloating should not eat more. Since seaweed is seasoned during processing and contains more salt, people who need to control salt intake should also appropriately control the amount of seasoned seaweed they eat, and can eat some unseasoned seaweed slices appropriately.
Dried seaweed has high salt and MSG content, so it is not suitable for long-term continuous consumption. It is best not to exceed 1 liang at a time. Especially for young children and people with high blood pressure, do not eat it often, and drink water in time after eating. |
