Kombu is an edible seaweed and there are many others. I like all those I have tried. Each seaweed has slightly differing health benefits, but not by much.
Seaweed adds taste, texture, variety, iodine and interest to my food for very little cost. All varieties are easy to use (once you learn how) and have great heath benefits.
I talk in the video about throwing out the remaining kombu after it soaks. I was wrong! I do chop it up for salad, soup or saute now.
This graphic by benvictor.blogspot.com gives you some good information about how to use seaweed and the health benefits.
This is how I get my seaweed now in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. It's from China, will last about 2-3 weeks for me since I use it a lot. It costs about $1 USD.
It is in a round. Two of them actually.
I cut some off with kitchen scissors.
And cut further
And all of this is sauteing for a meal.
You eat seaweed for the iodine. These shakers are at Amazon and your local health food store for less than $5 each. Use it in place of salt or as some of your salty flavor.
It is not sodium so you can load up.
This pack is less then $10 and is what I used to get.
Here is my son 
Iodine is a critical Essential Nutrient, you are not getting enough of now.
Few people get enough iodine without effort. Track your food in a nutrition tracker online for a few days and I know you will lack Iodine.
As soon as you do get more iodine, you will have a clearer head and more energy.
Iodine is also in the eggs I blogged about yesterday, so that is another reason to eat them!
These benefits are all excellent and for me with autoimmune disease,the anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties are all very important.
The World's Healthiest Foods site shows seaweed as sea vegetables and look at them - Number One for Iodine.
They are also a good source of Vitamin C which you cannot get too much of.
So what are you waiting for! Get on board the seaweed train and have better health.
This is all part of my weight loss and health plan, having two steps:
- Eat Less Crap
- Eat more Nutrition.
You can do it if I can!

It is almost Super Bowl Sunday. Statistics say that only 5% of people with health resolutions for the New Year will still be on track. Is your fitness equipment still out and are you still on a "diet?"
I lost "Half My Size" eight years ago by using natural methods. I started on December 5th and did not give up. You can do it too!
