How Sea Moss Can Potentially Protect You from COVID-19

The ongoing pandemic has brought with it serious health issues, both physiological and psychological. Despite vaccinations providing some protection, the deadly virus is still out there and infecting people as we speak. 

If you’re looking to enhance your immunity in these serious times, sea moss can provide numerous health benefits, and the best part is that it can be consumed in many forms.

So read on to find out just how this red alga can help strengthen you from within and protect you against COVID-19.

What Makes Sea Moss Special?

You might not know this, but sea moss has been used for centuries to treat medical conditions such as tuberculosis and pneumonia. 

This is because of its legendary anti-viral properties. 

Nowadays, the salty sea vegetable has again become extremely famous among health-conscious people, mainly because of its rich nutrient profile which includes an array of minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, and phytonutrients. 

Bottom line: its anti-microbial and nutrient-rich characteristics are what make sea moss a natural remedy for the disease.

Sea Moss in the Fight against COVID-19

Now that we know what makes it special, here are a few benefits of sea moss that make it potentially useful in these disease-ridden times.

  • Aids in Stress-Related Digestive Problems

Digestive problems due to stress and anxiety are common. And with all the preventive medication that people are consuming, your gut is bound to cry for help.

However, its gel-like consistency makes sea moss effective for soothing pain from inflammation in the mucus lining of the intestine. 

As for all the side effects from medications and antibiotics, sea moss also helps extract toxins. The result is pain relief and detoxification, which is why sea moss can be very effective for soothing indigestion, ulcers, gastritis, and constipation.

And there’s scientific proof as well: a study published in BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies showed that sea moss exerted prebiotic effects on animals. It increased the number of fatty acids in the colon, which help get rid of unhealthy gut bacteria and help strengthen the immune system as well.

  • Strengthens Immune System

As mentioned before, sea moss contains amino acids and substances that give it various immune-protective properties, such as antiviral, antibacterial, antioxidant, and anticoagulant properties.

Also, vitamin C plays a very crucial role in the body’s healing process, and so does potassium chloride, which helps reduce inflammation and lowers the risk of infection.

  • Supports Nervous System

Sea moss also aids the elimination and detoxification of heavy metals.

Moreover, the high levels of potassium optimize the functioning of the nervous system and help relieve symptoms of anxiety, stress, and depression which are quite common during the pandemic.

The pandemic doesn’t seem to be ending any time soon, so it’s best to keep our immunities up and stay healthy and emotionally fit.
