Sea seasonings? Okay, it sounded a little gross to this land lover. I'll admit that I'm pretty particular with sea food, as the fishy smell of the ocean is a little overwhelming to this Midwestern-raised girl. So hear me out when I tell you that even I have been won over.I went seeking a natural way to support my thyroid. As someone who has watched a number of family members struggle with thyroid issues, as well as read about the increasing concern over American thyroid conditions, I already had it in my head that iodine was an important piece of my diet. But when my husband and I decided to move to the landlocked country of Zimbabwe a few years ago -a country so wrought with power outages that the idea of a fish actually making it safely from the coast was beyond questionable- figuring out supplementation was important. We packed a few of these Maine-made gems found at our local co-op into our shipment, and could not be happier we did. Now that we're back in the US, we're still using dulse in everything!
Government surveys show a 50% reduction in adult iodine levels since 1974.* Though there are a variety of possible reasons, one theory is that a number of pesticides affect how well our bodies are able to absorb iodine. Though most people don't want their pancakes tasting like seaweed (so don't pour too much!), adding a small amount of seafood flakes into batters, doughs, eggs, or salads can be an undetectable way to add some of the health of the ocean to your food every day.Sea Seasonings, a New England company based in Hancock, Maine, has been helping its customers connect with the health benefits of sea vegetables since 1971. They work to maintain sustainable practices in harvesting, processing, and merchandising, producing more than they consume in an effort to give back more than they take.

DeleteI'll need to add this to our grocery list so that my family has less of a chance of dealing with my genetic thyroid issues.
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear, Ms Ray. Always talk to a doctor, but whole foods are usually a great place for your body to start!
