Blue Green Algae

Posted Jul 31 2009 11:49am
One of the things I learned at the lecture featuring Viktoras was about blue green algae.

It is one of the most talked about SuperFoods for many reasons. It is organic, easily digested and full of antioxidants; extremely rich in minerals and has a higher concentration of beta-carotene than broccoli.

Blue green algae contains 60 to 70% of vegetable protein, and provides all the essential amino acids a body needs. It provides all of these benefits without the risk of consuming meat, which is high in cholesterol and is difficult to digest.

A rich source of calcium, iron, vitamin B12, enzymes and anti oxidants, blue green algae is an ideal food for both adults and children. Being highly concentrated in so many nutrients, blue green algae offer numerous benefits to our well-being. Here are the top ten health benefit:

1) Anti-Aging: Loaded with more essential nutrients and iron than most foods that we consume, blue green algae is perfect as an anti-aging food. Its high concentration of antioxidants means our bodies can combat more free radicals and toxins.

2) Relief from headaches aches and pain: restrengthening our immune systems.

3) Energy Booster – has rejuvenating effects

4) Better Digestion – it coats the stomach lining and is packed with enzymes that help to improve digestion.

5) Sleep better due to its detoxifying abilities.

6) Weight loss from diminished food cravings, creating a more balanced appetite.

7) Greater concentration and focus – increase in energy and clarity of mind.

8) Strengthen the hair, skin and nails due to it being high in protein which is the main building block for healthy hair, skin and nails!

9) Reduced Stress/Less anxiety – it has beneficial effects on our brain development and can help us cope with stress better.

10) Improves memory – as it has effects on our brain development, regular consumption of blue green algae has also shown to have an impact on our memory.

In order to keep your body functioning in a healthy state, it is very important for your immune system to be kept in balance. Those with disease such as cancer, lupus, tumors, cysts, MS, Crones Disease, etc. are not in balance and are at risk of aging rapidly (eventually dying from their diseases if nothing is done internally to heal their body).

You can easily achieve this by eating foods that help to boost your immune system. This way, your body can fight off infections as well as all kinds of various disorders. In order to boost your immune system, you will have to support it with various super foods such as blue green algae.

As you know, blue green algae are an ocean based food supply and they contain chlorophyll which is a very important substance for your body. In parallel, human body has also evolved from the deep oceans and thus by consuming blue green algae based super foods ( such as chlorella ) will allow your body to get the revitalizing energy it needs from the nutrition of the oceans. By eating blue green algae based foods you help your body to revert to its fundamental form.

Of course, eating blue green algae foods should not be thought of as medicine to be taken in need; but rather it should be thought of as a continuous source of food. By consuming blue green algae based super foods regularly, you can help to boost your immune system and you will also be able to give your body the nutrients that it needs.

For proper functioning of your body, it is essential for your body to have necessary trace minerals and antioxidants. This way the necessary enzymes can be produced by your body and your body’s chemical processes can be kept in tip top shape. In addition, blue green algae foods allow the body to retain its natural balance, so that the effects of aging can be combated in a better way.

It is important to remember that aging is largely associated with imbalance in the natural mechanisms of the body. Thus, by eating blue green algae foods, you can keep your body healthy, fit and energetic.

An added note here for those of you looking to purchase blue green algae as a supplement: read the labels!!! Some have way to many fillers in their tablets. Also, many are told that they are only available through multilevel marketing companies. According to Viktoras, Klamath Blue Green Algae is the best (coming from Klamath, Oregon) and I did find it at my local Whole Foods. Again,be sure to read the labels and make sure you are getting what you are looking for. While reading the labels of the other brands at the same store I found them all to be loaded with fillers! I personally didn't find it expensive (20 dollars for a month's supply) and will be reporting back in the weeks ahead on how its working for me.
