Other benefits of Dulse and other sea vegetables include their ability to help prevent aging and chronic disease, solve mineral deficiencies, help detoxify your body (from heavy metals, environmental pollutants and carcinogens), help control growth of viruses, bacteria and Candida, balance the thyroid function and fight constipation.
One third cup of Dulse provides up to 30% of RDA for iron, which is four times the amount in a serving of spinach. It is packed with approximately 22% protein – higher than chickpeas, almonds or sesame seeds. One handful of dried Dulse provides more than 100% of the recommended daily intake of B6, iron and fluoride and 66% of the recommended daily intake of B12.

Credit union location Illinois Chicago Selfreliance Ukrainian American Federal Credit Union Check out the fitness section of my website………. http://www.sensationalrawfooddiet.com/exercise.html The raw food diet is your ticket – not only will you FEEL more ENERGY but you’ll maximize the benefits of whatever exercise program you embark on. It’s all in the FUEL we put in our bodies, and the QUALITY of that fuel. Athletes are always concerned about Protein, and getting enough of it. Plant based sources of protein are easier for the body to assimilate and less taxing on the liver and kidneys. Eating high amounts of animal protein is not only taxing to the organs, but is associated with high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease. Why protein isolate – an animal food that is highly processed – is highly acid-forming, as is cooked animal foods. Eating too many acid-forming foods promote inflammation, reduce immune function, and cause calcium to be pulled from the bones resulting in lower bone density. Plant based proteins are present in all fresh fruits and vegetables. 30% of the calories in spinach come from protein, almost 50% from romaine lettuce. The best sources of protein are leafy greens, liquid blue-green algae’s, nuts and seeds, sea vegetables and sprouted foods. A description of some of these protein sources along with additional plant-based food supplements can be found on my website: www.sensationalrawfooddiet Athletes who experiment with plant-based diets consistently report a substantial increase in energy and a dramatic decrease in recovery time. The advantage of a decreased recovery time is that you can increase the number of your workouts if you choose. You’ll see quicker and better results!I EAT A RAW DIET AND I WANT TO WORKOUT!
