Benefits of Chlorella
Someone commented the other day that I seemed very healthy and energetic “for my age” (a back-handed compliment if ever I heard one) and asked me if it’s as a result of a healthy diet alone, or if I use a supplement.
A few family and friends who read this will be laughing – because I have a bit of a reputation as a chocoholic amongst those who know me best.
I will freely admit that I use a supplement, because I have seen so much evidence showing that even fruit and vegetables and other “healthy” food today is nowhere near as nutritious as it was in, say, the 1950s.
Chlorella is the supplement I use personally, and I have used it for several years now.
First, I’d like to tell you a little more about Chlorella, and why you might choose to use it.
You may or may not know, but Chlorella is a green algae superfood that’s been popular in Japan for decades, and which is the most researched of all the algae. Initially this research was conducted to increase the understanding of photosynthesis, but since the 1970s many chlorella health benefits have emerged and been collated in an ever increasing collection of scientific studies.
Supplementing with Chlorella can be beneficial in treating a wide range of health problems brought about by our modern lifestyle.
- For instance it is an excellent antioxidant and a source of magnesium and fibre for people not getting enough leafy green vegetables. Chlorella is also a rich source of B vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients.
- I am currently researching an ebook on the specific ways Chlorella can help with detox and environmental toxins. I know this will be of interest to many of my readers who have had a Hair Analysis to check for heavy metal toxicity.
- To tie in with my recent posts on the vegetarian diet, it is a rich vegan source of iron and B12 – nutrients which can so often be in short supply for vegetarians.
- It is also a “complete protein”:- one containing all the essential amino acids from which the building blocks of the human body are composed.
I personally use Chlorella as a supplement / superfood to promote my overall well-being and health rather than for any specific condition. However it can help with:
- Weight loss
- Preconceptual health
- Anaemia
- Detox – including heavy metal detox
- Managing type-2 diabetes
- Naturally lowering blood pressure and cholesterol
- Boosting the immune system and raising energy levels
As I prepare my ebook the more I study this remarkable supplement the more applications I discover.
You can buy chlorella tablets or chlorella powder, whichever you prefer. Should you wish to order Chlorella, or any other supplements, you can do so from the banner below:
