The Benefits of an Aloe Vera and Sea Vegetable Supplement
Author: Ronald Godlewski  | Posted: 09-02-2008 | Comments: 0 | Views: 12 | Rating: (53)  (?) 
An aloe vera and sea vegetable supplement is an excellent way to maintain good health, and keep at bay the ravages of modern living. Increasing levels of atmospheric pollution, and overuse of pesticides on food, combine to threaten our health at the cellular level where the free radicals that these pollutants produce in your body help to destroy body cells and DNA and cause premature aging, heart conditions and many other forms of disease.
It is possible to allay many of these undesirable side effects of modern life by the use of appropriate supplements that help to protect our immune system, maintain healthy blood glucose levels and kill off the free radicals in our blood as they are generated. Phytonutrients have long been considered the ideal type of supplement to fight free radicals and maintain the good healthy immune system that is essential to protect us from bacterial and viral diseases.
If the term phytonutrients seems like something from a sci-fi film, the term means little more than nutrients derived from plants. It doesn't matter if these are land plants such as aloe vera, or sea plants such as kelp, they are plants nevertheless. Although sea plants have been popularly been given the name 'seaweed', they should more properly be called sea vegetables, because that is what they are. All plants are vegetables from the smallest mosses to the largest tree, on land or in the sea.
Aloe vera has been used since time immemorial for the treatment of burns and a wide range of skin conditions. It is also used for digestive complaints from indigestion and reflux to irritable bowel syndrome and colitis. However, it is also a powerful antioxidant, and the most beneficial property of such a substance is that it reacts with free radicals and destroys them. Aloe vera has also been shown to help insulin maintain a healthy blood sugar level.
Sea vegetables also have very powerful nutritional properties, and there are many of them available. Many people associate seaweed with kelp, but there are many different species of sea vegetable just as there are many land vegetables. One of them is Alaria esculenta which contains an amazing substance known as fucoidan. This is very similar to mother's milk, and contains a very similar mix of antibodies. It is very good if you need a boost to your immune system, and it also contains a high level of potassium that is essential to the health of your central nervous system and your heart.
Chondus crispus is another, this vegetable containing a high level of iodine that is so necessary for the proper functioning of your thyroid gland. When you consider that the thyroid controls all the other glands, it is obvious why chondus crispus is such an important plant. It also contains strong antioxidants, again helping to keep down the level of free radicals in your blood, and so maintain a good level of cardiovascular health. So too does Palmaria palmata, named after is shape (the palm of your hand), that is high in its polysaccharide content. These help insulin to prompt the body to convert blood glucose to energy that not only maintains a healthy level of glucose in the blood, but also maintains a good metabolic rate.
So far we have discussed sea vegetables that help out some of the day to day functions of our body such as helping the immune system and acting as antioxidants, but now we come to a powerful fungicide that has quite a different application in your body. Laminaria digitata can be used to treat fungal conditions such as candida, which is a sexually transmitted fungal infection, and this is not the only such sea vegetable that can be used to treat medical conditions. Some are bactericides and others kill viruses, and when they are all put together in one general supplement they combine to give a very powerful boost to your body, and provide a high degree of protection against the effects of malnutrition, pollution and disease.
One of the main reasons for including aloe vera with the marine phytonutrients is that it acts synergistically with many of them. Just as Magnesium is essential for the proper absorption of calcium by the body, as is Vitamin D, aloe vera improves the absorption of nutrients from sea vegetables by up to ten times. The average effect is lower than this, but it is an astounding effect nevertheless.
Taking this into account along with its other nutritional benefits, aloe vera is a very useful plant indeed. The combination of an aloe vera and sea vegetable supplement was not put together by accident, and is in fact a very powerful mix of nutritional phytochemicals that work together to keep you healthy and well.
