“Food” for the thyroid

What is the alternative in the prevention of thyroid disease in modern conditions?

Without knowing the key players began algae, people have long been a great success enjoyed by the treatment of goiter. And just at the beginning of the XIX century, when French chemist Bernard Courtois selitrovar opened the first iodine (by the way, he opened it in seaweed), it became clear that the main mechanism of action of sea kale is this valuable trace elements. Decades of work are widely deployed on the effectiveness of marine plants for diseases of the thyroid gland. Experiments have shown, for example, that the introduction of seaweed in the diet of white rats much faster normalizes the structure of thyroid cancer compared with other treatments.

Ways and methods of use of algae for the prevention of endemic goiter may be very different. In Kamchatka, for example, when baking bread added to it 3% of the powder of sea kale. Issued this bread sold under the name of dietary. Such bread mixed with seaweed finds widespread in several countries in Western Europe. It should be noted that the inclusion of seaweed, not only does not degrade the quality of bakery products, but even better (for example, bread is not stale for longer). Have experience in production of various confectionery products with an admixture of kelp powder. Well, finally, you can simply add the daily dry powder of sea kale in any home-cooked meals. There is cause for reflection and action medical staff of preschool and school facilities to implement the diet of children powder dry kelp.

What are the advantages of algae to other iodine-containing drugs?

Marine plants contain an enormous quantity of iodine. Thus, in 100 grams of dried kelp iodine content ranged from 160 to 800 milligrams. It is known that in edible brown algae up to 95% of iodine is in the form of organic compounds, of which approximately 10% due to a protein that is of great importance. In addition, the laminaria there are a number monoyodtirozina and diyodtirozina – inactive hormonal substances in the thyroid tissue, which are also organic products. Thus, an artificially created product can not compete with nature: the sea kale is not just a lot of iodine – it contains more biologically active ingredients that help it absorb iodine, one might say, applies it to the plate. Organic iodine compound algaeflora faster than an equivalent amount of sodium iodide, contribute to the normalization of thyroid function. And this can be explained not only iodine but also content in the marine plants are important for the metabolic processes of micro-and macro (molybdenum, copper, cobalt, and others), and vitamins.
