Wakame stimulates the production of DHA by the liver and essential fatty acid that helps reduce LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol) in the blood. Lowered cholesterol opens up your arteries, improving blood flow throughout your body. Heart disease, or atherosclerosis, is caused by arterial blockage and high cholesterol, so adding Wakame to your diet can reduce your risk. Lower cholesterol in the body and better blood flow decreases your blood pressure, as well. High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, can lead to strokes, with little noticeable symptoms.
