It has been said that there is no other family of food more protective against radiation and environmental pollutants than sea vegetables. Sea vegetables are known to prevent the absorption of heavy metals and other environmental toxins such as radioactivity exposure.
This nutrient packed food, found especially in kelp, contains sodium alginate, a polysaccharide substance that will bind with the radioactive elements in the body and eliminate them. Research has also found that the polysaccharide U-Fucoidan (another detoxifier of radiation) was isolated in kelps that are grown in Russia.
When consuming these highly mineral rich plants, you also get the natural iodine that your body needs to prevent the uptake of iodine-131. The thyroid gland, the only gland in the body that absorbs iodine, will readily absorb the iodine-131 and this causes great damage, including thyroid cancer.
In 1972 the Japanese found zybicolin, an active ingredient in miso soup. One of the ingredients in this dish is seaweed. Zybicolin acts as a binding agent to detoxify and element radioactive elements in the body.
Spirulina, a blue-green algae that grows in fresh water bodies, was found to have helped save many children after the Chernobyl disaster. Although it is not considered to be in the sea vegetable family, it is related to the kelp algae. After taking 5 grams of Spirulina for 45 days evidence showed that the protocol had enhanced the children's immune systems, their T-cell count and reduced radioactivity.
Radioprotective effects have been shown in many Japanese studies with the drinking of black and green tea before or after exposure to radiation. Studies coming out of China suggest that tea may contain ingredients that are radioactive antagonists.
Brown rice and other whole grains can help prevent sickness from radiation exposure. These foods are high in fiber and phosphorous and have a great binding ability to remove the poisons and toxins from the body. With its natural bulking factor of whole grains, elimination time from the intestinal tract is sped up.
Whole grains contain Vitamin E and Selenium. These two substances help prevent cellular damage and aging caused by free radical. Free radicals are molecules or atoms that have an unpaired electron. When exposed to radiation, heavy metals or other toxins, the free radicals reactions increase greatly by bumping into these toxins.
The avoidance of sugars and refined foods will be of great value to achieving and keeping good health. Eating a diet that contain foods rich in potassium, magnesium, calcium, minerals and vitamins, not only will help your body fight if you have been exposed to radiation, it will lead to the prevention of many other diseases.
