The amount and quality of your sleep can do a lot to interfere with your metabolism.

Not getting proper sleep quality and/or quantity impacts how you create and burn through your calories the next day, meaning, with poor sleep your body may be looking at storing your calories rather than burning them through different processes, one of which is the slowing down of your metabolism.

Furthermore, a poor night’s sleep will cause you blood sugar levels to be more elevated at baseline the next day, wreaking even more havoc on your metabolism and interfering with achieving and maintaining your ideal weight.

Prioritizing good quality sleep is an important factor in your strategy for good metabolic health and good health in general.

Seaweed might be your next favorite thing! Why? For its iodine concentration of course, not to mention it tastes great too! The production of thyroid hormones, which are necessary for metabolic function, is dependent on iodine.

But there is more to seaweed than you probably think...

Seaweed is very nutrient dense and is an excellent source of micronutrients including folate, calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron and selenium.

And did you know that cooking beans with the seaweed Kombu helps to reduce gas and bloating in those that have a bit more difficulty digesting beans?

Seaweed also contains antioxidants and as well as the kind of fibre that feeds the good bacteria in our gut.

So go ahead and add some seaweed to your next soup, salad, stir fry, etc. and reap the many benefits it has to offer.
