Agar has great health benefits

1. Suppresses appetite

Agar offers the benefit of surprising appetite and is thus beneficial for weight loss. When wet, agar becomes gelatinous, like in our Kumara Delight, and provides a fullness feeling. This suppresses feelings of hunger, controls appetite and encourages weight loss. Obese individuals and also those simply looking to manage their weight should consider consuming agar.

2. Mineral source

Agar contains lots of minerals that the body needs on a regular basis. For instance, agar comprises calcium, iron,  potassium and also  of sodium. These minerals are important in maintaining proper overall health. Additionally, agar eliminates the need of the body to retain and store excess fat.

3. Boosts digestion

A nutrition that includes frequent agar intake will not only improve digestion, but it will also enhance waste removal. Agar absorbs lots of glucose present in your stomach and passes quickly across the digestive tract. This water absorbing property also helps in quickening waste removal. Since agar contains a high amount of fiber, it offers a laxative benefit that assists in regulating and cleansing the bowel.

4. Lowers cholesterol

The other agar advantage is that it absorbs bile, which assists the body in dissolving more cholesterol. Reducing cholesterol improves health as it prevents plaques from forming in arteries.
