Seaweed

Seaweed is incredibly nutrient-rich while being almost calorie-free. It contains iodine, essential for a well-functioning thyroid—and therefore vital for a healthy metabolism. Additionally, it provides fiber and protein and promotes satiety with its natural saltiness. Seaweed can be enjoyed as nori sheets, dried in salads, or as wakame in soups—making it ideal for a metabolism-friendly diet.
