I’ve always wondered how fish, whales and dolphins never seem to age. They look the same from birth to death. As far as we know, sea-life doesn’t get cancer, Parkinson’s, diabetes, or dementia. Not unless they swim around human pollutants, that is. So, what’s their secret?
Salt water and sea vegetables!
Salt water is alkaline, and it’s rich in minerals like magnesium, zinc, iron and potassium. These minerals can help reduce inflammation, protect your skin, and heal scrapes, cuts and sores.
Salt water hydrates your eyes, cleanses your sinuses, and enhances the flow of lymph fluid, which can reduce cellulite/subcutaneous fat.
Eating the plants and animals that live in salty sea water benefit your health in so many ways.
The Benefits
Seaweed is gaining attention for its potential health benefits, especially in the treatment and management of nerve damage. Studies show that people living next to the oceans have less health issues, and they are generally healthier. This is why many retirees move to the sea-side. They know that sea water is nutritious when it splashes on your skin, in your eyes, up your sinuses, and down your ear canals.
And the sea helps your nerves.
Nerve damage symptoms can range from mild tingling and numbness to severe pain and muscle weakness. Traditional treatments include medications, physical therapy, and sometimes surgery, but holistic practitioners are continually looking for alternative treatments, such as acupuncture and nutritional supplements like seaweed.

Seaweed
Seaweed is rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making it a superfood. It nourishes your thyroid because seaweed contains Iodine, which is essential for thyroid function – and a healthy thyroid supports nerve health.
Seaweed contains Calcium and Magnesium, which are both important nutrients for nerve function and muscle health.
Vitamin K and the B-complex vitamins are abundant in seaweed, and these vitamins are important for your blood health and energy levels.
Seaweed has Omega-3 Fatty Acids, which play a significant role in nerve damage because they have anti-inflammatory properties. This is important because chronic inflammation can exacerbate nerve pain and hinder your body’s ability to repair your nerves.
Seaweed contains the compounds fucoidans and phlorotannins, which possess potent anti-inflammatory properties. By reducing inflammation, you can alleviate pain and promote nerve repair.
Seaweed is a rich source of antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E. These antioxidants protect your nerve cells and support nerve repair and regeneration, and are potent in brown seaweed.
Proper blood flow is essential for nerve health, and seaweed is known to improve your circulation, which can enhance the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to damaged nerves. Improved circulation also helps remove waste and toxins that can also damage your nerves.

Seaweed Tips
Seaweed actually supports your overall health, and this benefits your nerve health. A nutrient-rich diet supports nerve repair and regeneration.
Here are some tips:
- Seaweed Snacks: Dried seaweed snacks are a healthy option.
- Salads: Add fresh or dried seaweed to salads.
- Soups and Stews: Seaweed can enhance the flavor and nutritional content of soups and stews.
- Smoothies: Blend seaweed powder into smoothies for a hidden health boost.
- Sushi: Enjoy seaweed in traditional dishes like sushi.
Seaweed is inexpensive and easy to use. Liquid kelp is also a good option to get the benefits of sea nutrients – it’s inexpensive and tasteless. Add these to your daily routine, and your nerves, thyroid, and skin will thank you for it!
Look to the sea to join the abundance of health and wellness!
