You probably remember chlorophyll from your 8th grade biology class… it absorbs energy from the sun to stimulate photosynthesis; it makes plants green; it helps plants grow and breathe; it’s like the blood that runs through the veins of plant matter… yada, yada, yada. But what you may not know are the remarkable effects chlorophyll has on the human body. Chlorophyll is actually really similar in composition to human blood, except it has magnesium as its central atom, as opposed to iron in human blood. This unique similarity causes mineral-rich chlorophyll to have a whole slew of amazing benefits for the human body, including:
-
anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and wound healing properties
- helps to grow and repair tissue
- purifies the blood
- neutralizes free radicals and prevents cell damage
- stimulates red blood cells to improve oxygen supply
- anti-carcinogenic properties that prevent carciogens from binding with DNA in organs
- helps to assimilate magnesium and calcium in the body
- helps to neutralize air pollution that we breathe in
- fights bad breath, body odor, and odors in body waste
The brands I like are Chlorofresh (I like the natural mint flavor!), and World Organic.
