Seaweeds such as Dulse are very popular in Eastern cultures such as Japan, Korea, and China. For this reason, many health problems facing Americans today are mostly non-existent for these people. This algae is red in color and has a pungent and salty taste. Which makes it a tasty addition to add to your kitchen.
Due to its high amounts of nutrition, minerals, vitamins, and therapeutic properties, Dulse is an important building block for powdered superfoods and supplements. My favorite way to get this plant is by taking it in powder form and mixing it with fresh juice.
Here are 10 amazing health benefits of Dulse
1) High content of vitamins and minerals: specifically vitamins B6, B12, A, iron, potassium, phosphorus and manganese

More about the liver
Many of my studies have focused on the liver and how important they are to our bodies and to good health. Our livers are responsible for so much that we absolutely need to be more mindful of how to keep it healthy. Our liver breaks down all of our food, cleanses toxins from our body, processes all of our sensory input, and is our furnace of heat. It is the only organ in the body that can regenerate.
Our current health care system is structured around pain relievers, antibiotics, and medications for everything you can think of. These pills are extremely harsh on our books. Combine these medications with the use of alcohol, drugs, heavy metals, and pesticides, and you have the perfect formula to kill your liver early.
Our livers are extremely abused in our society, and adding Dulse to your diet can play an important role in helping our bodies and livers heal.
