In summer, the soup that often appears on our table is kelp spareribs soup or kelp winter melon Haimi soup, which is both delicious and healthy. We know that kelp has many advantages, such as preventing and treating goiter, lowering blood pressure, reducing fat, improving immunity, reducing blood sugar, diuresis and detumescence, preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, eliminating breast hyperplasia, hair care, beauty care, etc., which are attributed to the fact that kelp contains many substances beneficial to human health, such as iodine or iodine compounds, selenium, calcium, unsaturated fatty acids, dietary fiber, etc. Kelp also contains a very important substance that is fucoidin. Because fucoidin and dietary fiber, kelp has the effect of weight loss.

    First, what is fucoidin? Fucoxanthin  Also known as algin, it is the pigment contained in brown algae, diatom, Chrysophyta and yellow green algae, and the photochemical system II involved in photosynthesis. It is possible to obtain reddish brown crystals during separation. It is a kind of leaf xanthin, a substance that makes brown algae. It can be said that it is a unique pigment of brown algae, and sometimes it is scattered in diatoms and other algae. Researchers at Hokkaido University in Japan have confirmed that fucoidin, a pigment substance of brown algae, will become a panacea for weight loss. Fucoidin has obvious weight loss effect. Fucoidin mainly eliminates fat accumulation in the following two ways.   Fucoidin activates a protein called UCP1, which promotes lipolysis. It also stimulates the liver to produce DHA that lowers cholesterol levels. Its weight loss mechanism mainly involves down regulating the mRNA expression of various lipogenic enzymes, up regulating the expression of β - oxidation mRNA and decoupling protein gene, and changing the level of obesity factors in plasma. It is also found through human body test that fucoidin can significantly increase the energy consumption of obese women, reduce the body weight, body fat, plasma triglyceride and fat content in the liver, and achieve by increasing fat excretion, changing the expression of liver peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gene and the activity of liver fat regulating enzyme. Scientists also confirmed that using fucoidin as a concentrated food additive would not cause addiction or any other side effects in experimental animals. At the same time, kelp contains a lot of dietary fiber, which can increase the sense of satiety of obese people. Moreover, kelp has very low fat content and small calories, which is also conducive to weight loss.

    FucoidinIt also has many other physiological activities, such as antioxidant, anti angiogenesis, anti-tumor and so on. It is widely used as a health product.
