Keep reading to find out why you should consider drinking liquid chlorophyll as part of your healthy diet.
Before we jump in, here’s a quick refresher about this important molecule. Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in almost all types of plants, algae and cyanobacteria. It also plays an integral role in photosynthesis. The process in which plants harness energy from sunlight to synthesize (make) their own food.
1. Plants extract water (H2O) and minerals from the ground through their roots
2. Next, leaves take carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air and releases oxygen (O2)
3. Then, sunlight gives chloroplasts energy to make sugar (food)
Now, back to our regular programming…
Numerous medical studies have touted chlorophyll’s potential health benefits. They’ve cited its wound-healing, body deodorizing, anti-aging, weight control and cancer prevention properties. However, I mostly use the product for its detoxifying effect.
I was diagnosed with Diverticulosis a few years ago. Basically, it’s an inflammatory bowel disease which causes tiny bulging sacs to develop in the digestive tract. After my diagnosis, I decided to use natural remedies to combat flare ups.
One of the things that has worked for my condition is to eliminate toxins by keeping my body in a constant state of detox. Although the body naturally detoxifies itself, I feel like adding liquid chlorophyll to my regimen enhances the process.
I’ve been using the NOW brand from Amazon and I find it incredibly effective. Each morning, I add one teaspoon of chlorophyll to a glass of water. That’s all. It doesn’t taste amazing, but I wouldn’t say the flavor is unpleasant.
Chlorophyll supplements are generally considered safe to use. They also do not appear to cause serious side effects. However, if you are taking chlorophyll and experience stomach issues or skin irritation, please stop taking it immediately and consult a doctor.
If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, speak to your doctor before taking a chlorophyll supplement, or any other types of supplements.
Another option is to get chlorophyll through food. If that’s your preference, consider adding: Spinach, asparagus, collard green, mustard green, broccoli, green beans and peas to your diet.
As always, thanks for reading!
