Guys, It’s Paul otote, welcome back to my channel
On this video I’m going to quickly tell you how I make my sea moss, why i never heat
seaweed and why i make my sea moss gel with dulse seaweed and some lemon
You ready guys, let’s go
To get my sea moss ready to use I add some fresh water, then cover it with fresh water.
Then I add some dulse seaweed and squeeze half a lemon. To best absorb iron, you need
to give it a little boost by pairing it with a source of vitamin C. The vitamin C helps
break the iron down into a form that the body can more easily absorb and this needs to be
paired in a single meal
After I add it all to a bowl, I leave it for a while to work it’s magic. Depends on the
moss, some will take over night, some sooner but it will eventually start to soften up.
The dulse seaweed will also start to soften up.
Then I remove the water, add new water, a little more lemon then blend until it’s
gel like. It should come out like this.
Then I use the gel every few days and add it to my smoothie, using this recipe and ill
now go over why I never eat sea moss every day and why I never heat my sea moss.
Firstly, why i don't eat sea moss everyday. Some may disagree with me here but hear me
out. The recommended daily intake of iodine is 150 microgram or 0.15 mg and 100 grams
of 800 micro or 0.8mg. That’s almost 5 times your RDA and that’s from one source, if
you combine that with other things you may eat throughout the day, could you be consuming
too much iodine. Especially if you prepare it my way using dulse seaweed which is also
high in iodine
Btw, guys, who wants a benefit of dulse seaweed video, ive been using dulse for over 6 years,
it’s incredible, especially for B vitamins.
But back to the matter. Too much iodine gives you the same symptoms as too little and it's
equally bad for the thyroid.
One way to get rid of some of the iodine is to boil your seaweed during preparation. For
example if you boil Kelp in water for 15 minutes, it can lose up to 99% of its initial iodine
levels. But personally, I’d never heat my sea moss, hear me out and ill tell you why.
Some vegetables benefit from cooking, others are better raw and with others it makes no
difference.
For example, for carrots, cooking softens its firm cell structure—we can access many
more carotenes and minerals and more vitamin C in tender cooked carrots than we can by
simply chewing raw ones
But for minerals like iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium, the loss is about 5
to 10 percent due to cooking or boiling. Water-soluble compounds (which include vitamin C and some
B vitamins) are the most vulnerable to loss from boiling, simmering, steaming, or braising.
On top of that, it’s said that Sea vegetables require no cooking. So
the conclusion I formed was i’d never boil my sea moss as others advise people to
But what are your thoughts here, comment below.
In conclusion, sea vegetables are rich in nutrients, so a little goes a long way, I
won't eat it everyday, a few times a week sure but everyday no.With seaweeds, Do not
over do it, balance is key
Another reason I won't eat sea moss everyday is sea moss is high in nutrients is because
Seaweed can absorb and store minerals in concentrated amounts but as i said in previous video we
don't know much about the toxins within. Some seaweed is said to contain toxic heavy metals,
although there is a limit of the maximum concentration allowed
eating it everyday may not be the best option. Take breaks from anything powerful, that’s
the goal to win.
In my personal life, anything I do often i take a break from, whether it be social media,
cashew nuts, mangos or people. This allows me to either enjoy it more or benefit more.
Hippocrates said let food be thy medicine, but if you take too much medicine, what effect
will that have on you. Paul Otote. Put that in the history books
