What is Chlorella?
Chlorella is a strong detoxification aid for heavy metals and other harmful chemicals such as pesticides. It’s a single-celled, blue green algae produced through photosynthesis (the process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy from sunlight.)
Chlorella is a great source of chlorophyll and is in fact, known to have the highest amount of chlorophyll which is effective in detoxifying the liver and bloodstream, bowel elimination and keeping the bowel flora at a neutral level, plus many other amazing potential benefits.
A number of research in the U.S. and Europe claimed that chlorella can also aid the body in breaking down hydrocarbon and metallic toxins continuously; toxins such as mercury, cadmium and lead. Chlorella also helps fight environmental pollution in your body naturally.
Chlorella is very popular in Japan and over 10 million people use chlorella regularly for its natural detoxifying properties, its ability to remove poisonous substances out from the body.
For many years, Japan became the leader in chlorella production and they took over the development of chlorella around the world. In fact, the Kyushu University Medical College in Japan conducted an experiment and gave chlorella to five patients with wounds that had refused to be treated medically using conventional method which included antibiotic treatment. Three patients wounds healed satisfactorily in less than a month but the other two of the more stronger cases needed to be treated for about two months in order to heal.
Potential Benefits of Chlorella
Studies have shown the many benefits of chlorella including good cardiovascular health, lowering of blood pressure and cholesterol levels, aiding in detoxification and supporting healthy hormonal function. To achieve these health benefits one must take chlorella supplements with a starting dose of 500mg twice daily (during or after every meal) this may also be increased to 1,500-2,000mg daily in divided doses. Here are the benefits we can get from chlorella:
1. May Aid in Digestion
Chlorella has been attributed to relieving constipation and fixing digestive issues such as cramps, gas and bloating. The mix of vitamin D, beta-carotene and chlorophyll can help counter inflammation than lead to digestive problems. Chlorella also boosts the presence of healthy probiotic bacteria in the intestines important for digestive health.
2. Powerful Natural Detoxifier
Chlorella has the ability to wrap itself around toxins found inside our bodies and keeps them from being reabsorbed (just like a little bee hive in its structure). It helps keep heavy metals from accumulating in the soft tissues of the body and the organs by acting as a chelator.
3. Immune System
Chlorella can enhance the immune system of the body to combat foreign invaders by stimulating the activity of macrophages and T-cells to increase the interference levels responsible for enhancing the immune system function. It can support a healthy immune system response and assists in the natural killer cell activity.
4. Weight Loss
As we age, our metabolism slows down and losing weight can become a challenge. In a study published in the Journal of Medicinal food, it was observed that “Chlorella intake resulted in noticeable reductions in body fat percentage, serum total cholesterol, and fasting blood glucose levels.”
Chlorella is known to regulate hormones and helps in the metabolism of the body, reduces body fat, removes harmful toxins, improves circulation and promotes higher energy levels.
5. Anti-Ageing
Research on chlorella also reveals its ability to slow the ageing process in a person making one look younger. It works this was by decreasing oxidative stress caused by pollution, stress and unhealthy diet.
6. Blood Sugar and Cholesterol
Chlorella can greatly improve high blood sugar and high cholesterol levels in the body. Researchers observed a decline in the levels and improvement on both blood sugar and cholesterol when a person religiously takes chlorella along with a healthy and balanced diet.
7. Balance Body’s pH
Chlorella is alkaline in nature and can help balance your body’s pH. A balanced pH is important because this is the first step toward reducing your risks for cancer.
8. Energy Booster
Chlorella ensures that your body can perform well by regenerating the body and giving you the proper nourishment needed to strengthen you on a daily basis.
Never underestimate this tiny blue green algae because it is capable of doing more than most foods on the planet. Take chlorella every day and enjoy the benefits you can receive from it.
A Little Warning: Because of the nature of chlorella and it’s ability to draw in toxins, it’s important (actually it’s CRUCIAL) that you choose a chlorella that has been grown in a pollution-free environment, so that you are not absorbing any pollutants in.
