Health & Beauty from the Sea

Description

THE SEA: SECRET OF LIFE

Ever since Cleopatra used turtle oil to condition her skin, the sea has been a source of beauty, health and youth. In this valuable new book, Molly Castle analyzes and explains the properties of sea water, sea air, seaweed, and food from the sea.

Learn about eating seaweed for longevity, the important medicinal and nutritive qualities of fish oil, and how to cook low-calorie, low-cholesterol seafood dishes that are both delicious and wholesome. Discover how to lose pounds and inches through swimming and improve your spirits and general health with breathing exercises-great at the beach, but just as good for you at home!

Current scientific research has shown that the sea has even more treasures for man. Sea water proves to be rich in antibiotics; conch oil may be a major deterrent to arthritis; seaweed destroys some of the by-products of atomic waste and oxidizes carbon dioxide in submarines and space ships.

The sea, source of all life, is crammed full of a rich harvest of beauty, health, and youth. Dive in!
