Seeing Green
Remember in high school when we learned about photosynthesis in biology class? Well, you may recall learning about photosynthesis being the process of using sunlight to make food from carbon dioxide and water, and chlorophyll is what causes the green color in plants. And then, the chapter ended, and the lesson was concluded.
I’m here to tell you there is much more to learn about chlorophyll and its benefits. So let’s dive into this green gem. It is a critical player in photosynthesis and has vitamins, antioxidants, and healing properties that can benefit your body and health.
Researchers have explored the beneficial components of chlorophyll not only in plants but in humans. Just like plants, we need water and oxygen to grow. However, we don’t turn green. So one of the best ways to consume chlorophyll is through leafy green vegetables. So whether you like Popeye the Sailor and enjoy spinach or prefer going under the sea and munching on seaweed, or maybe you have fanciful tastebuds and enjoy seasoned asparagus and Brussels sprouts. Liquid chlorophyll and capsules are also available to get beneficial nutrients.
Some of the benefits include detoxification & natural deodorizer. Chlorophyll can bind heavy metals and prevent the build-up of harmful toxins. In addition, it can detoxify the blood, chlorophyll. In Skin Healing, It has shown possible effects in reducing bacterial growth and inflammation on the skin. And has been known to speed up the healing process of wounds.
It also aids the body in building red and white blood cells. Which helps red cells the passage flow oxygen through the lungs and into the cells in the body. White cells help fight viruses and bacteria. But it does not stop there; chlorophyll also helps boost energy, strengthen the immune system, ensure healthy digestion, insomnia, and fatigue, and is effective against certain cancers and more.
With All the excellent benefits, I see green. I guess the lesson in high school biology class about plant life, photosynthesis, and chlorophyll is something we could benefit from knowing and using in the real-world years later.
