Health Benefits of Chlorella

Hey everyone. Today I will be doing a quick post about the health benefits of Chlorella. Not too many people are familiar with Chlorella, so hopefully I can help teach you something new today. Lets get to it...

Chlorella is a blue-green algae like its cousin spirulina. Chlorella is native to Taiwan and Japan. Chlorella’s rich green color comes from a high concentration of chlorophyll. This superfood is rich with phytonutrients, including amino acids, chlorophyll, beta-carotene, potassium, phosphorous, biotin, magnesium and the B-complex vitamins

Chlorella benefits include:

Supporting healthy hormonal function (Chlorella benefits you by helping to regulate hormones, helping with metabolism, improving circulation, and promoting higher levels of energy. It also helps to reduce weight and body fat, and removes stored toxins)

Promoting cardiovascular health (chlorella greatly reduces oxidative stress, that can be caused from pollution, stress and a poor diet)

Helps negate the effects of chemotherapy and radiation (Chlorella’s high levels of chlorophyll have been shown to protect the body against ultraviolet radiation treatments while removing radioactive particles from the body)

Lowering blood pressure and cholesterol (Researchers observed first a decline in cholesterol levels, and then the improvement in blood glucose. They believe that chlorella activates a number of genes at the cellular level that improve insulin sensitivity, encouraging a healthy balance)

Aiding in the detoxification of our bodies (One of chlorella’s most significant health benefits is that it wraps itself around stubborn toxins residing in our bodies, such as lead, cadmium, mercury and uranium, and keeps them from being reabsorbed)

1-ounce (3 tbsp) serving of chlorella contains:
Protein—16g
Vitamin A—287% RDA
Vitamin B2—71% RDA
Vitamin B3—33% RDA
Iron—202% RDA
Magnesium—22% RDA
Zinc—133% RDA

So there you have it. Hopefully this helped you learn a little more about Chlorella and its benefits. I personally take them in chewable tablet form. You can also purchase it in powder form and add it to your smoothies, or you can take it in pill form. Feel free to resteem and leave an upvote if you liked what your read.
