Superfood no. 7 from The AlternativeDaily: Chlorella: Early research in America notes that this algae may decrease the side effects of chemotherapy and reduce the growth of cancer cells. The chlorophyll in chlorella possesses antibacterial properties that heal and repair tissue while increasing circulation, purifying blood and removing waste products from the body. This single-celled, freshwater-loving micro-algae is receiving much attention lately for its "superfood" qualities. Chlorella was first discovered in the late 19th century. After WWII, it was considered, due to its high protein content, as a possible food source. Chlorella has been used for many years in Japan, where it is both a popular food and a supplement. Chlorella is loaded with vitamin C and carotenoids, both antioxidants which protect cells from free radical damage. In addition, this nutrient-dense algae has a high concentration of B vitamins and iron. Promoted widely as a natural remedy for a number of health conditions, supporters of this algae claim that it defends the body against bacterial and viral infections, promotes the growth of healthy gut bacteria, reduces blood pressure, regulates blood sugar and cholesterol and strengthens the immune system. As part of a cleansing diet, chlorella helps to eliminate mold from the body so that it can use oxygen more effectively. Chlorella supplements also help to increase the amount of albumin the body. Albumin, found in the bloodstream, protects against diseases such as diabetes, arthritis, pancreatitis, hepatitis, anemia and AIDS. By cleansing the body of toxins and heavy metals, chlorella may help prevent certain cancers from forming. Some researchers call this underwater gem the perfect food, claiming that it can even reverse the effects of aging. You can take chlorella as a tablet, liquid or a powder. It is recommended that 2 to 3 grams be taken daily for health and more for detoxification purposes. The powder is easy to mix with juices and smoothies.
