Seaweed for everyone
Seaweed gets a lot of press as a superfood for women, but lads, let us tell you: it’s just as essential for good health in men. Here are four reasons why adding nutrient-rich seaweed to your diet will see you perform at your best.
Stay strong
Want to know Popeye’s secret? His spinach was enriched with seaweed. Probably.
Well, it makes sense: Kombu is loaded with calcium, essential for strong bones, and Dulse is packed with protein, which boosts and maintains muscle mass. Whether you’re muscle-building or not boys, seaweed will keep you healthy.
How
Be like Popeye. Combine spinach with Shony, Mara’s unique blend of seaweeds, for a clean and healthy post-workout pick me up. It’ll soon be your go-to essential for repair and recovery after exercise.
Wake up!
Bright eyed and bushy tailed never goes out of fashion, so start eating seaweed and stop stifling those afternoon yawns.
Dulse is a healthy source of iron, which transports oxygen around the body and distributes it to cells in the form of haemoglobin. More oxygenated blood means less yawning, tiredness and fatigue.
How
Embrace the alkaline properties in seaweed to increase your vitality: try baking iron-rich kale with dulse as a side at dinner. You’ll enjoy a better night’s sleep and find coping with stress easier too.
Fuel yourself
Healthy eating is always a good start, but are you eating smart? Seaweed is high in fibre to keep you fuller for longer, which can help reduce snacking. With a lower sodium content than salt but the same umami kick, eating seaweed regularly can help reduce your desire for salty junk food too.
How
It’s time to take steps towards the lean body you’ve always wanted: mix nuts and seeds with a shake of Shony for a fibre-fuelled energy boost that’ll stop you reaching for the crisps.
Hey, sexy
Want to stay gorgeous and, uh, on top of things? You need more iodine, pal! As well as preventing fatigue and muscle weakness, the thyroid gland, powered by iodine, releases the hormones responsible for your libido, sex appeal and youthful appearance.
How
Seaweed is the best natural source of iodine and it’s said that a generous shake of Dulse on that most popular superfood, avocado, can do wonders for your sex appeal. But don’t just take our word for it...
