Herbs and Obesity

Kelp (Fucus spp.)

Kelp is a type of seaweed that’s rich in antioxidant vitamins and iodine. It is believed to stimulate a hormone produced by the thyroid gland that’s responsible for boosting metabolism, so you’ll burn more calories by the hour. You can also get other kinds of seaweed in your diet by adding them to soups and salads. Kelp is very useful for thyroid-related obesity.

Dosage: Take 300-1,500 mg daily as directed on the label.

Caution: Check with your doctor before taking kelp if you have a thyroid disorder, high blood pressure, or heart problems.
