Chlorella: My Favorite Superfood

Today’s leaders need quick nutrition as well as detoxification. This is why my favorite superfood is the single-celled algae Chlorella.
Chlorella is the world’s greenest food, with more chlorophyll than any other plant or algae on the planet! It has 10 times more chlorophyll than alfalfa, barley grass, or spirulina. As our environment becomes increasingly contaminated, so does our food supply. Even organic produce is not free from pollutants. Chlorella to the rescue! Chlorophyll is an excellent detoxifier and blood cleanser. But the real cleansing key lies within chlorella’s fiber. Chlorella contains a high concentration of a unique fiber that pulls toxins from our cells and safely removes them from our bodies. This is what makes chlorella an excellent chelator for heavy metals and chemicals of all kinds. It is this special fiber that also promotes balanced, healthy bowel movements.
How do you use Chlorella? It is a wonderful addition to salads. I put it in my raw taco mix. I love drinking a glass of this gorgeous emerald green nectar. If the powder isn’t appetizing for you, try the pure pressed tablets. They have a nutty taste, and make great salad croutons! It is a truly multi-functional food. Not only does it harmonize our produce intake, but it is a nutritional powerhouse in and of itself.
Chlorella is a complete food, with a full range of complete protein, vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. It is actually 50% complete protein, meaning it can meet your needs as a protein source, with all 8 essential aminos. With high amounts of enzymes, it really helps digestion. It also is packed with antioxidants, including high amounts of beta-carotene. It increases the reproduction of healthy bacteria in the intestines by up to 400%. And it powerfully enhances immune system growth by increasing white blood cell production. Chlorella is consumed by over 7 million people in Japan daily. It’s time we choose this awesome superfood as part of our daily diets as well. I have, and I feel so good!
