The nutritional value of kelp is very rich, containing iodine, iron, calcium, mannitol, carotene and other components needed by the human body. Kelp also has the effect of cold resistance. In winter, the weather is cold, and eating more kelp appropriately can not only make the body stronger, but also play a good role in cold resistance.
From the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine, seawater belongs to yin, cold, and cool nature. Kelp, which grows here, has a strong ability to resist cold. The nature and taste of kelp are salty, and long-term consumption can also have the effect of warming and tonifying kidney qi. Therefore, eating kelp in winter can increase the body's ability to resist cold.

Modern research believes that people's fear of cold is related to the low intake of certain minerals by the body. For example, the amount of calcium in the human body directly affects the contractility and excitability of the myocardium, blood vessels, and muscles; iron deficiency in the blood often manifests as low heat production and low body temperature. Therefore, supplementing foods rich in calcium and iron can improve the body's ability to resist cold. And kelp is a treasure trove for humans to absorb calcium and iron. Every 100 grams of kelp contains as much as 1177 mg of calcium and 150 mg of iron, so eating kelp in winter has important health benefits for children, women, and the elderly.
Kelp is rich in iodine. The human body's thyroid secretions contain a substance called thyroxine, which can accelerate the oxidation of many tissue cells in the body, increase the body's heat production capacity, enhance the basal metabolic rate, accelerate skin blood circulation, and resist cold. Iodine can promote the secretion of thyroxine and generate heat. The daily requirement of trace element iodine for adults is about 150 micrograms, while 100 grams of kelp contains 240 mg of iodine.
Therefore, people who are afraid of cold in winter should eat more kelp.
