WHAT IS CHLOROPHYLL AND WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT FOR OUR HEALTH?

Chlorophyll is found in green leafy vegetables, spirulina, wheatgrass, barley grass, wild blue-green algae, chlorella etc.  

Chlorophyll is what gives the plant its green colour and chlorophyll's structure has been found to be very similar to our blood and when we consume it, it increases the production of hemoglobin.  Hemoglobin is present in red blood cells and is responsible for carrying oxygen from our lungs to other parts of the body.   So what does this mean exactly?  It means that the more hemoglobin you have, the more oxygen rich blood you have to nourish the cells in your body.  

Also by eating chlorophyll rich foods, can also help the digestive tract by protecting from inflammation damage, cleanse and detox the body, soothe inflammation and pain, improve respiratory function, alkalises your blood, cancer protection, balance blood sugar and creates an aerobic environment where disease cannot live.  It also contains magnesium which protects our blood brain barrrier and protects the neurological system from toxins in our environment.  So it really is a superfood!

Here is an article by Dr Jockers on spinach which is also rich in chlorophyll.  The article talks about a plant based steroid in spinach called phytoecdysteroids and this can help with blood sugar levels and minimise the need for insulin and can also help with muscle tissue growth.  Spinach also contains antioxidants called zeaxanthin and lutein which are needed for brain health and vision.
