Stewed tofu with seaweed and shrimp
Kelp is rich in iodine, calcium, phosphorus, selenium and other trace elements essential to the human body. The calcium content is 10 times that of milk, and the phosphorus content is higher than all vegetables. Seaweed is also rich in vitamins such as carotene and vitamin B1. It has effects in hairdressing, preventing and treating obesity, high blood pressure, edema, arteriosclerosis, etc., so it is called "longevity dish".
Kelp is not only the most ideal iodine supplement food for pregnant women, but also a good food to promote baby's brain development. This is because iodine deficiency in pregnant women affects the synthesis of thyroxine in the body. If the fetus fails to obtain the necessary thyroxine, it will lead to poor brain development and low IQ. Even if enough iodine is supplemented after birth, it is difficult to correct congenital mental retardation.
