Great for your heart
Sea Moss has a higher fiber content than most vegetables. It can improve blood sugar control, lower blood pressure, help lower your cholesterol and reduce your risk of chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease.
Great to lose weight
High-fiber foods like Sea Moss are filling foods, which means they may keep you from overeating. Soluble fiber absorbs water and forms a gel-like substance. This slows digestion by increasing the rate at which food moves through your digestive tract and delaying the rate at which your stomach empties its contents Research indicates that Sea Moss can influence faster fat metabolism
