Seaweed Soups

There are many health benefits to seaweed soup. It is very popular among East Asians, especially for pregnant women and students. Dried seaweeds contain Magnesium, Vitamin 1 and Iron which are essential for preventing diabetes and heart attacks. They also have Riboflavin and Niacin which promote fast tissue repair.

Seaweed is also an excellent blood cleanser and is believed to support optimal brain function, which would help students with important exams. It is also amazingly effective at stimulating healthy milk production in nursing moms.

I think I've developed the habit of throwing in broccoli anywhere and everywhere I can. Just weird, but I like it. Adding in bits of ginger to the soup made it extra tasty and warm.
