Under the Sea!

Greetings on this joyful Thursday!

Would you like to discover a simple and speedy method to introduce magnesium into your diet? Look no further than Chrondrus crispus, commonly known as Irish sea moss. We incorporate this nutrient-packed marvel into our morning shakes by adding a tablespoon or two.

Curious about the multitude of benefits that sea moss offers? (Rest assured, it won't alter the flavor of your shake.) Sea moss not only enhances the immune system and aids digestion but also fortifies joints and promotes healthier skin. (For a little self-care, I occasionally apply a mixture of sea moss and turmeric powder as a face mask!)

Delving deeper, sea moss is a champion in reducing inflammation and expelling excess mucus from the body. It proves invaluable for respiratory health and fosters the elimination of gut bacteria, thereby enhancing digestive health. Applied topically, it works wonders on skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and acne breakouts.

What makes sea moss truly exceptional is its rich composition of minerals—92 out of the 110 minerals that constitute the human body. Packed with beta-carotene, vitamin B, vitamin C, sulfur, and an array of minerals including magnesium, manganese, calcium, and phosphorus, sea moss contributes to optimal cell functioning. Additionally, it boasts amino acids, omega-3, antioxidants, and zinc. A boon for your skin, sea moss aids collagen production.

Creating sea moss gel is a breeze—simply blend soaked sea moss with water. For an extra nutrient boost, consider adding bladderwrack or elderberry. Crafting your own sea moss gel for smoothie enhancement is a fantastic option. When procuring online, prioritize reputable sources.

The recommended daily intake of sea moss gel is 1-2 tablespoons, and you can even infuse it with cinnamon, nutmeg, or clove for added flavor before incorporating it into your daily shake. Refrigerate your sea moss gel in a glass jar, and feel free to experiment by adding it to soups or stews if a morning smoothie isn't your preference.

Enjoy the myriad benefits of this sea-derived gem!
