'Tis the Season to Season with Seaweed!

Avoid extra excess: choose seaweed over salt

Almost everyone is guilty of overeating at this time of year. However, more often than not, it's more than just extra calories you're consuming - it's also extra salt.

Did you know that seaweed is a fantastic alternative to salt? Seaweed tastes salty but it has a much lower sodium chloride content than table salt, plus loads of extra vitamins and minerals making it a great natural swap.  

How salt affects your body

• Salt works on your kidneys to make your body hold on to more water.
• This extra stored water raises your blood pressure and puts strain on your kidneys, arteries, heart and brain.

But now you know there's a delicious salt alternative out there, there's no excuse!
