Most people know that green vegetables are good for them. That’s about all they know. Some people have no problem eating them, while others reluctantly go for the greens. They are rich in fiber, support bone health, help relieve joint or muscle pain, and help nourish the liver and kidneys. The most important thing is that they are extremely alkaline, which helps the body fight off infections and diseases.
Green vegetables also have chlorophyll. Why does chlorophyll sound so familiar? Let’s remember science class for a second. Chlorophyll is a green pigment that exists in all green plants. It absorbs sunlight and that is the first step of what? Photosynthesis!!! Okay, school has been out of session for a while, but chlorophyll actually does some pretty amazing things for the human body.
The cell structure of chlorophyll is actually very similar to that of a human cell. The only difference is that human cells have iron as the central atom and chlorophyll cells have magnesium. Since chlorophyll is essential for plant metabolism, studies have shown that humans may benefit from it in the same way.
You can buy liquid chlorophyll to drink and this is greatly beneficial for the body. We aren’t saying that you should stop eating green vegetables. Drinking liquid chlorophyll is just another way to make your body healthier. Here are the benefits of drinking it.
#1: Offsets Stress
Chlorophyll actually can decrease stress and helps alkalize the body to establish a neutral pH balance.
#2: Healthy for Blood
Because of the nutrients in chlorophyll, it helps oxygenate and cleanse your blood, in addition to helping your blood carry oxygen to all cells.
#3: Stop Cravings
When you drink chlorophyll water, you’ll notice that your cravings decrease.
#4: Heavy Metal Detoxing
Heavy metals can cause toxic damage inside the body. Chlorophyll helps to naturally detox these toxins from your body by binding with the metals to prevent the body from absorbing them.
#5: Fights Free Radicals
There are many toxins and carcinogens in our environment and food. Chlorophyll can help fight free radicals in the body and actually blocks the body’s absorption of carcinogens.
#6: More Available Oxygen
By drinking chlorophyll water, you provide your body with more oxygen, and that means you’ll have better endurance, more energy, and be less prone to constant fatigue.
#7: Body Odor Be Gone
Body odor can be embarrassing, and it is intrusive to public spaces. Say goodbye to your odor by drinking chlorophyll water. Chlorophyll actually controls body odor, and it even fights bad breath.
Mix about 1 tablespoon of liquid chlorophyll with an 8oz. cup of water and drink it every morning. If you’d rather take a 1oz. shot of liquid chlorophyll, you can do that as well.
