“Inflammation and stress are considered risk factors of many chronic diseases. Antioxidant-rich food in your diet may help prevent them. Kelp is high in antioxidants, including carotenoids and flavonoids, which could help fight against diseases.

Antioxidant minerals, such as manganese and zinc, help combat oxidative stress and may help protect cardiovascular health and prevent cancer.

Recent studies have explored the role of sea vegetables in estrogen-related and colon cancers, osteoarthritis, and other conditions. Results suggest that kelp may help slow the spread of colon and breast cancers.

Studies on isolated cells indicate that a compound found in kelp called fucoidan may also help prevent the spread of lung cancer and prostate cancer.”
