Herb Profile: Spirulina
|
||
Spirulina is a blue-green algae, which gets its name from its spiral
shape. It contains the most remarkable concentration of nutrients known
in any food, plant, grain or herb.
|
||
|
||
It is the highest protein food- over 60% all digestible
vegetable protein. Spirulina is loaded with unique phytonutrients like
phycocyanin, polysaccharides and sulfolipids that possibly reducing
risks of infection. Rich in natural carotenoid, antioxidants that
promote health. It has chlorophyll which helps detoxify our bodies of
ever present pollution. It also contains iron, trace minerals and the
rare essential fatty acid.
|
||
|
||
Chlorella,
a green micro-algae, is a nutritious food and it's cell wall is made of
indigestible cellulose, just like green grass, while the cell wall of
Spirulina is made of complex proteins and carbohydrates. Chlorella
contains saturated fats, and its total fat content is relatively high.
|
||
|
||
Spirulina is unique among blue-green algae because it has a long
history of safe use. The Aztecs consumed Spirulina in Mexico over five
centuries ago. Indigenous people consume Spirulina growing in African
Lakes today. For the past 20 years, millions of people around the world
have enjoyed it as a safe food supplement. In fact, the United Nations
and the World Health Organization recommend Spirulina as safe and
nutritious for children.
|
||
|
||
Spirulina
offers more nutrition per acre than any other food. It delivers 20
times more protein per acre than soybeans, 200 times more than beef. By
growing more Spirulina, we can help stop cutting the last original
forests to grow food. By bringing it into our personal lives, we become
part of the solution to improve the health of our planet.
|
||
|
||
Spirulina contains all the nutrients that the human body needs. A
deficiency of any of these nutrients would compromise the proper
functioning of our body.
|
||
|
||
Yes. Scientists around the world - in Japan, China, India, Europe,
Russia and the USA - are discovering the importance of Spirulina, how
and why Spirulina is so effective for humans' and animals' health.
Hundreds of published scientific studies reveal how Spirulina and its
unique phytonutrients improve health.
|
||
|
||
Spirulina builds soft cell walls from a network of proteins,
polysaccharides and enzymes. It just melts away inside your body. This
is important for those who suffer from poor digestion, or for older
people with restricted diets.
|
||
|
||
Enzymes in our bodies digest our food, cut, paste and repair our
DNA and power our critical body systems. It's always good to enhance our
diet with raw foods like fresh fruit, vegetables and juices, which are
rich in natural living enzymes. Dehydrated super foods like Spirulina
still have natural enzymes present. More importantly, Spirulina has
building blocks such as minerals, phytonutrients, antioxidants and
polysaccharides that trigger our bodies own enzyme systems to flourish
and perform their many tasks.
|
||
|
||
Owing to the amino acids contained within, Spirulina helps to
suppress hunger and increase metabolism. Together with the high density
of other nutrients, Spirulina helps to naturally suppress the appetite,
thus permitting healthy weight loss.
|
||
Chlorophyll in Spirulina helps to sanitize the bowel by detoxifying
and cleansing the colon and intestines. In addition, the chlorophyll
helps to coat the irritable stomach lining, thus aiding the relieve
symptoms of gastric ulcers and inhibit ulceration. It also acts as a
functional food, feeding beneficial intestinal bacteria, especially
Lactobacillus and Bifidus. By maintaining a healthy population of these
bacteria, Spirulina reduces digestion and constipation problems caused
by pathogens like E.coli and Candida.
|
||
|
||
It grows
in very alkaline waters. It is considered an alkaline food, and will
help your body toward more alkalinity. Its a great balancer for any diet
filled with acidic foods like sugar, coffee, soda, alcohol or meat. A
balanced system will strengthen your health and increase resistance to
disease.
