Spirulina: Super Natural Food

Spirulina is the best present we can give our beautiful bodies.  It is considered to be the best supplement, and in my opinion the ONLY supplement we should supply our system with. Spiriluna is a microscopic aquatic plants called blue-green micro algae that have inhabited the earth for several million years. In it's natural state, Spirulina has been discovered in the lakes and waterways of Africa, Central America and South America and has a huge array of benefits.

The Key benefits of Spirulina are:

• One 3 g (6 x 500 mg tablets) serving supplies the nutritional equivalent of TWO servings of fresh vegetables!
• Rich in antioxidants
• Boosts energy and cellular health
• More than 60% easy-to-digest all-vegetable protein.
• High in B-12 and easy-to-absorb iron
• Rare food source of the essential fatty acid GLA

It also helps in treating and even reversing the following conditions:

• Cancers (all types)
• Obesity
• Diabetes
• Hypoglycemia
• Arthritis
• Depression
• Severe liver damage and liver disorders
• Intestinal ulcers
• Hemorrhoids
• Asthma
• High blood pressure
• Constipation
• Bleeding gums
• Infections
• Inflammation of joints and tissues
• Body odor / breath odor
• Various degenerative diseases
• Essential fatty acid deficiencies
• Mineral deficiencies (magnesium is a common deficiency)

Spirulina is particularly useful for:

• People with poor digestion and assimilation (these micro-algae are easy to digest and absorb)
• People with poor vitality and anemia
• Individuals who consumer large quantities of animal protein (the micro-algae protein, in contrast, is easier to digest and offers a far healthier balance of minerals)
• People who eat refined or processed foods
• People who take prescription drugs (spirulina protects the kidneys and liver)
• People who are overweight or obese
• People who engage in physical exercise and / or strength training
• People with low energy levels (feeling depleted, exhausted, etc.)

Spirulina contains a high amount of protein, vitamins, and minerals. It is about 60-70% protein, which is greater gram for gram than both red meat and soy. It also contains all of the essential amino acids, which makes it a complete protein; this is not very common in plant foods. It contains a large amount of Vitamin B12, which is very difficult to find in other plant foods.

If you are diet/sports/health freak like me – Spirulina will be your best buddy, making sure you are nourished and healthy increasing your energy levels, and making your skin glow!  I use 100% Organic Spirulina 500mg Tablets by Synergy Natural,  and take on average 6 per day (2 tablets 3 times per day).  But you can also get Spirulina in powder form and put a few spoonfuls in your smoothies and juices, or sprinkle on your salads, beggies, soups... up to you!

Spirulina really works from the inside out! Give it a go and leave me a comment to see how it goes! Enjoy!!

Be A Tree

Chlorophyll is what plants (and trees!) produce in response to the sun ... yep, concider this Biology 101. Chlorophyll is a green compound that is originally created by plants which helps plants absorb elements including sunlight to perform photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a process where plants take sunlight and turn it into food and energy. It transforms carbon dioxide and water and results in glucose and oxygen. Chlorophyll has a green pigment and it is this compound that gives plants there green colour. The richer the colour the more chlorophyll it has!

It allows you to alkaline your bloods PH level, and helps to rebuild and replenish your red blood cells, boosting your energy and increasing your wellbeing almost instantly by helping the circulation of oxygen through your body!  Pretty amazing huh? Well wait, theres more..  Chlorophyll has the power to regenerate our bodies at the molecular and cellular level and is known to help cleanse the body, fight infection, help heal wounds, and promote the health of the circulatory, digestive, immune, and detoxification systems.

Chlorophyll consumption increases the number of red blood cells and, therefore, increase oxygen utilization by the body. Chlorophyll also reduces the binding of carcinogens to DNA in the liver and other organs. It also breaks down calcium oxalate stones for elimination, which are created by the body for the purpose of neutralizing and disposing of excess acid. I use Liquid Chlorophyll, which has a 'Fresh Spearmint Flavour' and its so yummy! I strongly recomend you go to your localhealth food shop and ask for it. I am completly addicted to it, I crave it!!!  So drink up and be a tree!
