Different Types of Sea Veggies & Their Benefits

  • By Zach Nasr

The Algaes: Sea Superfoods

The Main Edible Algaes

We are going to discuss all of the many types of sea veggies, and their benefits over the course of this article. The first major category is that of edible algaes.
There are two main categories of consumable algaes: green algaes and blue-green algaes. Most algaes are not edible in fact, may varieties are toxic to humans.
However, chlorella, spirulina, and AFA (Aphanizamenon flos-aquae ) are the most common nutrient powerhouses. Red Marine Algae is a less common, but still widely available edible red algae with astaxanthin (the color that makes salmon red).

While they are not high in the active form of vitamin B12, they are chock full of many other B vitamins, chlorophyll, vitamin A, and many other antioxidants, minerals, and enzymes.
Chlorella (considered a green algae) has 4 times the chlorophyll of wheatgrass making it amazing for cleansing! Chlorella can also help chelate and bind heavy metals to remove them from our system.

Blue-Green Algaes


Spirulina and AFA are considered blue-green algaes or cyanobacteria. Both of these algaes contain chlorophyll like chlorella, but they also contain a rare pigment known as phycocyanin which is a COX-2 (cyclooxygenase enzyme type-2) inhibitor.
COX-2 is a major inflammatory pathway that prescription drugs like Celebrex are designed to inhibit. This blue pigment that are what give cyanobacteria their name can inhibit this same enzyme as prescription pain killers.

Lower Klamath Lake, Oregon where AFA grows

AFA: Aphanizamenon Flos-Aquae

AFA algae has an even more curious component, and it even more rare than spirulina or chlorella. It only grows in Klamath Lake, Oregon shown in the picture on the left.
It has a rare neuromodulator in it called phenethylamine or phenylethylamine (PEA) that many researchers call this the “love hormone” because it activates a cascade of neurotransmitters that feel similar to falling in love.
AFA also contains various mild monoamine oxidase inhibitors or MAOI’s that allow for the PEA to cross into the gut and blood brain barrier much more easily than normal. The feeling is calm, and yet focused. I personally like to take it with spirulina.

The Types of Seaweeds:

Red Seaweed: Carotenoids

Pepper Dulse and Irish Moss

Red seaweed is typically red because of the carotenoid content. Carotenoids like alpha & beta-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin, and lycopene are all brightly colored pigments that work like antioxidants.
These can all also be converted into fat soluble vitamin A by the liver, but this conversion process is not very efficient especially if your liver has been compromised by drinking, all kinds of drugs, and environmental pollution.

The Types of Red Seaweed

For example, nori which is the wrap used in most sushi is high in water soluble vitamin A, and in minerals like iron that help to boost energy, circulatory health, and hormone health.
Dulse has the most iodine of all of the red seaweed, but overall it is very low in iodine compared to other seaweeds. It also has carotenoids and other minerals that are essential to overall health and immune function.
Irish Moss is actually a seaweed, and a superfood. It turns into a gelatinous agent that can be used as a thickener for dishes and desserts as it has a very neutral flavor. This gel is very healing to the intestinal lining and mucosa.

Brown Seaweeds: Heavy Hitters of Iodine

If you have issues with your thyroid, then you want to make sure you are getting the right amount of iodine. The thyroid hormone T3 has  three iodine molecules in it, T4 has four iodine molecules in it etc.
You wouldn’t want to take massive doses without either knowing what your levels of thyroid hormone are or if you slowly worked up to a higher dose. The RDA for iodine is set at 150 mcg/day because you get goiter if you consume less than that.

Some of the Lesser Known Benefits of Iodine

Not sick does not necessarily mean optimal so some of us can get benefits from taking higher doses of iodine.
For example, a clinical study done on women with Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and  benign ovarian cancer gave these women 3,000mcg or 3mg per day which is 20 times the RDA for iodine!
They gave them 20 times the RDA for 3 months and all of the cysts and tumors disappeared.
However, some of us can have allergic reactions and/or detoxification reactions from higher doses of iodine because iodine is essential to immune system function, myelination, thyroid gland and thus metabolism and more.

Thyroid Issues

Always talk to your doctor or healthcare provider before starting any kind of supplement or dietary changes. This is especially important if the supplement is iodine, and especially if you have issues with thyroid.
Usually food is a safer bet, but with brown seaweed, you could get a heaping dose of iodine that could make you feel amazing, or it could make you feel absolutely terrible. Let’s look at the numbers just to see what I am talking about.

  1.  1 tbsp of Kelp contains about 2000 mcg of iodine (over 10x the RDA)
  2. 1 one inch piece of Kombu contains about 1450 mcg of iodine (almost 10x the RDA)
  3. 1 tbsp of Hiziki contains about 780 mcg of iodine
  4. 1 tbsp of Arame contains about 730 mcg of iodine
  5. 4 oz of fresh Cranberries has 400 mcg of iodine
  6. 1 tbsp of Wakame contains about 80 mcg of iodine
  7. 1 cup of Strawberries has 13 mcg of iodine (only 10% of the RDA)

 

Avoid this kind of seaweed salad if it has artificial colors in it.

Other Pretty Good Sources of Iodine

Seaweeds are the heavy hitters in the iodine arena with the exception of cranberries oddly enough.
Sardines, tuna, lobster, oyster, clams, cod, haddock, halibut, herring perch, salmon, sea bass, shrimp, garlic, Swiss chard, summer squash, turnip greens, and spinach are some of the other sources of iodine.

How Much Iodine I Usually Take

There is plenty to get you past the goiter level in almost all of these foods mentioned above, and in kelp there is even enough to get a therapeutic dosage which could causes issues if you have a preexisting condition related to iodine.
If you can safely take iodine, then you can start reaping the benefits of these superfoods today. Anytime I am feeling under the weather, I will take between 3 mg – 6 mg of iodine from kelp extracts. I have heard of people taking 12 mg – 15 mg!
You will have to slowly work up to the dose that you feel is best for you. I do my best to eat a little seaweed everyday so I get used to always having a little bit of iodine every day. I do experiment with cycles of taking larger doses.

Green Seaweed

Sea Lettuce is high in protein, iron, minerals, fiber, and vitamins A, B, and C. It is a little higher in starch/sugar than other types of seaweed, but it also has a lot more protein in it than most seaweed. Sea Lettuce is about 15% protein by weight.
Sea Lettuce is also called green laver, and it is great source of macro- and micro-minerals alike like most of the seaweeds out there. Mix it up and I highly recommend you check out the chart below to see a list of various products and sea veggies.

Chlorella
Spirulina (supplement)
Red Dulse Flakes (supplement)
Irish Moss
Nori

Kelp (supplement)

Use Cron-O-Meter to Explore Different Foods!

I also highly recommend you recommend that you look up each of these sea veggies on the diet tracking app called Cron-O-Meter. You can see all of the amino acids, minerals, vitamins and more in each food. 
It is a free tool that you can use easily just by signing in with your Facebook, and then searching different food ingredients. You can even use it to track all of your nutrient intakes if you truly want to track what a therapeutic diet means and is.

A book that keeps on feeding

“Cavin, you are phemomenal! An incredulous journey of a near death accident scripted by an incredible man who chose to share his knowledge of healing his own broken brain. I requested our public library purchase your book because everyone, those with and without brain injuries, should have access to YOUR brain and this book. Thank you for your legacy to mankind!”

Feed your brain – read this book

“The author’s story alone is a remarkable account of not just survival, but transcendence of a near-death experience. Cavin went on to become an advocate for survival and survivors of traumatic brain injuries, discovering along the way the key role played by nutrition. But this book is not just for injury survivors. It is for anyone who wants to live (and eat) well.”

“As a brain injury survivor that still deals with extreme light sensitivity, eye issues and other brain related struggles I have found a great diet is a key to brain health! Cavin’s book is a much needed guide to eating for brain health. While you can fill shelves with books that teach you good nutrition, Cavin’s book teaches you how to help your brain with what you eat. This is a much needed addition to the nutrition section! If you are looking to get the optimum performance out of your brain, get this book now! You won’t regret it.”

But I do feel better in several ways that just might be related to…

“I cannot overstate how grateful I am to Cavin for having published this book (and launched his podcast) before I needed it. I am 3.5 months out from a concussion and struggling to recover that final 25% or so of my brain and function. I fully believe that diet and lifestyle can help heal many of our ills, and this book gives me a path forward right now. Gavin’s story is inspiring, and his book is well-researched and clearly written. I am a food geek and so innately understand a lot of his advice — I’m not intimidated by the thought of drastically changing my diet because I know well how to shop and cook for myself — but I so appreciate how his gentle approach and stories about his own struggles with a new diet might help people who would find it all daunting. I am in week 2 of following his advice (and also Dr. Titus Chiu’s BrainSave plan). It’s not an instantaneous miracle cure, but I do feel better in several ways that just might be related to this diet.”

An Enlightening Book For Anyone With A Brain

“In 183 pages, Cavin Balaster’s new book, How to Feed A Brain provides an outline and plan for how to maximize one’s brain performance. The “Citation Notes” provide all the scientific and academic documentation for further understanding. The “Additional Resources and Tips” listing takes you to Cavin’s website for more detail than could be covered in 183 pages. Cavin came to this knowledge through the need to recover from a severe traumatic brain injury and he did not keep his lessons learned to himself. This book is enlightening for anyone with a brain. We all want to function optimally, even to take exams, stay dynamic, and make positive contributions to our communities. Bravo Cavin for sharing your lessons learned!”

An absolute must for autoimmune sufferers!

“I bought this book because I didn’t want a weightloss diet, but I wanted the most optimal gut/brain food I could find to help with an autoimmune.

“Cavin is a great man. A survivor… And a rock star.
I met him when I was 19, and re-met him later in life, after his accident. He still has this gorgeous understanding of the world that makes me believe in him, and always makes me listen to what he has to say.
When my mom had a stroke last year he was the first person I called. He had so much knowledge about what she was going though and totally understood what I was experiencing as well.
He was the first person I thought of, and hopefully the last I’ll need to.

Heal Your Brain with Nutrition

“How to Feed a Brain is an important book. It’s the book I’ve been looking for since sustaining multiple concussions in the fall of 2013. I’ve dabbled in and out of gluten, dairy, and (processed) sugar free diets the past few years, but I have never eaten enough nutritious foods. This book has a simple-to-follow guide on daily consumption of produce, meat, and water.

I appreciate how Cavin writes about important concepts, such as leaky gut and glial cells, in a clear and concise manner.

There are a large number of people attempting to recover from brain injuries that are lacking the right information on nutrition. Thanks to Cavin and his team, we have this book now.

I look forward to eating my quality vegetables, proteins, and fats every day now as I know that they will help my brain to heal.

Cavin’s story is inspirational and worth a read on its own.”

“I have a bachelors degree in Nutrition Science. Cavin’s Balaster’s How to Feed a Brain is one the best written health nutrition books that I have ever read. It is evident that through his personal journey with a TBI and many years of research Cavin has gained a great depth of understanding on the biomechanics of nutrition has how it relates to the structure of the brain and nervous system, as well as how all of the body systems intercommunicate with one another. He then takes this complicated knowledge and breaks it down into a concise and comprehensive book. If you or your loved one is suffering from ANY neurological disorder or TBI please read this book.”

Fistfuls of exciting brain foods to launch you plus feeding tube powerful nutrition implementation…

“In the hospital and ICU struggles, this book and Cavin’s experience are golden, and if we’d have had this book’s special attention to feeding tube nutrition, my son would be alive today sitting right here along with me saying it was the cod liver oil, the fish oil, and other nutrients able to be fed to him instead of the junk in the pharmacy tubes, that got him past the liver-test results, past the internal bleeding, past the brain difficulties controlling so many response-obstacles back then. Back then, the ‘experts’ in rural hospitals were unwilling to listen, ignored my son’s unexpected turnaround when we used codliver oil transdermally on his sore skin, threatened instead to throw me out, but Cavin has his own proof and his accumulated experience in others’ journeys. Cavin’s boxed areas of notes throughout the book on applying the brain nutrient concepts in feeding tubes are powerful stuff, details to grab onto and run with… hammer them!

And in general his expertise in implementation is unparalleled. His dynamite measuring empowerment of the human in a wonderland of changing everything with ‘fistful’ simplifying potency is the difference between progress and stumbling on techy adjustments in habits.. With this book you are ready to go.”

We can take care of our brains

“I am nearly four years out from my traumatic brain injury and I have been through 100’s of hours of rehabilitation therapy. I have been surprised by how little attention is given to adequate nutrition for recovering from TBI. I’m always looking for further opportunities to recover and so this book fell into the right hands. Cavin outlines the science and reasoning behind the diet he suggests, but the real power in this book comes when he writes, “WE.” WE can give our brains proper nutrition. Now I’m excited to drink smoothies and eat breakfasts that look like dinners! I will recommend this book to my friends.

(I was given a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.)”

Well written, educational, and promotes positive lifestyle changes that can be made today!

“Cavin’s personal experience and humble writing to help educate, not only people who have suffered brain injuries, but anyone interested in the best nutritional advice for optimum brain function is a great introduction to proper nutrition filled with many recommendations of how you can make a changes to your diet immediately. This book provides amazing personal insight related to Cavin’s recovery accompanied with well cited peer reviewed sources throughout the entire book detailing the most recent findings around functional neurology!

I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in learning more about nutrition and how it can impact brain function! As well as anyone willing to challenge themselves TODAY with the recommendations throughout this book!”

I used to think that death was a bad thing. 

Then I died. 🚑 

Death is just a transition that I chose not to take. 👼

I used to think that pain was a bad thing. 

Then I came back to life with a beaten and battered brain and body. 🤕

My existence was painful af!

I was unable to eat, walk, or talk, my left hand was completely flexed inward, and I was breathing and receiving nutrition through tubes. 🏥

Before this, most of my free time was spent writing and playing music. 🎸🎶🎙

Now I couldn’t talk and I couldn't wrap my fingers around a guitar, let alone play. 😟

I looked at my unusable left hand, and thinking that my life was over… wishing that I hadn’t woken up to suffer this.

Pain and loss overwhelmed me. 😢 

Then I saw my family and my friends and I began to think about my perspective.

I began to look at my state as temporary… as part of the adventure… and Adventures in Brain Injury was born. 🤕✊🕺

What if struggling were optional?

What if the struggle was not in the experience, but in the story I told myself about it… the drama that I attached to it. 🤔

Salmon that have to swim upstream are not struggling… 🐟 

Trees that are growing in harsh environments are not struggling… 🌲 

Bacteria that are exposed to antibiotics are not struggling. 🦠 

They do not tell themselves stories about their struggle to give it a deeper meaning… that is what humans do. 

We humans yearn to feel and to feel deeply. 

To feel more intensely, we tell stories... beautiful stories... dramatic stories… poetic stories… painful stories. 

To create feelings that are intensely good, the traditional story must precede with a narrative that brings us feelings which are intensely painful. 📖 

Often it is the story that creates the struggle, the beauty, and the triumph. 

The struggle is real because it is part of the story… The beauty is real because it is a part of the story… and the suffering is real because we make it real. 

We are the author of our stories! 📖

The experience is real, but the struggle is only as real as we make it. 

We can choose to tell a story of struggle, suffering, or pain; or a story of Adventure. 

These are our Adventures in Brain Injury!

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐚 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐥𝐥 🧠🧞‍♂️🧙‍♂️💗
 
Every word begins with a thought. 
 
When you read, hear, speak, write, or think in language, the words cross your mind and your attention is given to each word. 
 
Every word is created by being spelled... and every word is casting a 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐥𝐥. 
𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐥𝐥
/𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐥/
𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐧
The ability to control or influence people as though one had a magical power over them.
 
"Magical power" huh? So what is "magic?"
𝐦𝐚𝐠·𝐢𝐜
/ˈ𝐦𝐚𝐣𝐢𝐤/
𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐧
The power of apparently influencing the course of events by using mysterious or supernatural forces.
 
The key word here is *𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲*. 
 
As we know, there's more to life than meets the eye. 
 
All that is apparent is only the tip of the iceberg. 
 
For example, the electromagnetic waves that our heart emits are reported to be sixty times the amplitude than that of our brain waves. 
 
While this is not “apparent” to us, it is the case.
 
So what spells are you consistently reading, hearing, saying or writing? 
Free?
Empowered?
Safe?
Powerful?
Healthy?
Beautiful?
Strong?
Successful?
Loved?
Loving?
 
Those words are casting some powerful spells!
 
Or are you reading, hearing, saying or writing words like: 
Caution?
Dangerous?
Unsafe?
Risk?
Worried?
Scary?
Sickness?
Hate?
 
Those words are also casting some powerful spells!
 
The words we say pass through our brain and create resonance in our hearts. 
🧠 ➡️❤️ 
 
The people, places, and things that resonate with your words will resonate…
and those that don’t will be repelled. 
 
Simple as that.
 
Change the words that are part of your sensory diet... 
 
... change the words that are part of what you hear, read, say, or write... 📺 📻 📖 🎙 🖊 
 
... change the resonance of your heart... 🎵 💓 
 
... and change the spells that you are casting. 🧙‍♂️
 
If this resonates, that’s awesome! 😁✊ Feel free to share this!
 
If this does not resonate... that's cool too! 😁 🙏
 
I respect, value, and accept everyone’s perspective… even if we do not resonate. 
 
Wishing you a beautiful week!
 
As always, stay empowered, my friends!

How to Wash a Brain 🧼 🧠

We are all brainwashed.

Most brain washing services are provided free of charge.

I used to enjoy the ease and comfort of allowing these services to wash my brain for me. But after sustaining a severe traumatic brain injury, I needed to find what was most effective in my healing. While searching far and wide, I realized that information from the mainstream health narrative was not helping. I have since recognized the power and importance of my own mind and have been cleaning my brain myself for many years now.

If you recognize the power and importance of your own mind.. If you like the idea of self empowerment, thinking for yourself... follow my easy three step instructions to being your own neurological custodian!

— Step one: determine who/what is qualified to be a part of your sensory diet.
Everything our senses are exposed to affect our neurology. Some of it we have no control over, while other aspects are within our control. Decide what shows and movies you watch, what books you read, what podcast you listen to, and above all, who the people are that you surround yourself with.

— Step two: turn off the "News" and don't rely on "fact checkers."
The News is a theater masquerading as reality. Go outside. Connect with the Earth... the sky... connect with your fellow man and woman. Talk about EACH OTHER'S realities... not the theater. Allow yourself to recalibrate to reality by staying away from all "News" sources, and allowing YOUR reality to be your reality.

— Step three: Be the change you want to see in the world.
Create your own TV show. You are the main character, and you are writing the script. In any story, the main character evolves. Decide what that evolution looks like and live that evolution. Be that evolution.

In line with being the change you want to see in the world, be sure to show interest and acceptance of differing perspectives. Everyone on this planet wants to be valued and accepted... including you! So show that you value and accept differing perspectives. Everyone is on their own journey and their beliefs will be their beliefs until those beliefs change.

That's it!
 
Happy brain washing! #mindbullets

Happy New Year, y’all!

As tricky as 2020 has been, I am so appreciative of the many blessings that this year brought.

2020 was definitely an impactful year for all!

A friend of mine shared this list with me and I’d love to share it with you.

THANK YOU 2020!

Thank you for… the transparency to show us where change is needed.

Thank you for… further dividing us so we can learn to stand together.

Thank you for… turning up the volume on fears and "negative" emotions so we can learn how to truly feel them.

Thank you for… showing where we are closed off, so we can learn to open our hearts.
.
.
I like to use the marking of a new year to look over the year that is passing and to list some of what has happened in the past 365 days that I am appreciative to be a part of. Here are a few from my 2020 list (in no particular order):

Trained and certified Tora to be my service dog.

Spoke at the very first GLIA Conference with brilliant NeuroRehab specialists.

Won Glial Cell of the year award at the conference above.

Spoke at the Brain Injury Alliance of Oregon (BIAOR) Conference in Portland, OR with Dr. Glen Zielinski (before the lockdown).

Co-created a garden that fed me and my partner all summer.

Used technology to work with clients across the world to empower their recovery and rock their lives after brain injury.

My girlfriend took me to my very first drive-in movie! And… it was my favorite movie (Ferris Bueller‘s Day Off)! 😎

I am also appreciative of YOU! And I'd love to hear your list! So what are a few from your 2020 list? And... if you're really feeling motivated, I'd also love to hear your intentions for 2021!

Sending you and yours lots of strength & serenity... lots of love & light... and all the rock & roll you desire! 💪🙏🤘
