Beneficial effects of chlorophyll

by S. C.

There is proven scientific evidence to support the highly beneficial effects of including chlorophyll in your diet. This highly potent molecule can help blood flow and digestion, detoxify the body, and even lower rates of colon cancer if taken in high enough quantities. Both wheatgrass and barley grass are a great source of chlorophyll and an easy way to supplement your diet with nature’s very own detoxifier.

Chlorophyll, the basis of all plant life, is hugely beneficial to humans too. It plays a key role in detoxifying the liver (where blood is purified) and helps to stimulate hemoglobin production which in turn helps carry oxygen through the bloodstream. As it helps to reduce blood sugar problems, chlorophyll can help to control diabetes and aid weight loss. Chlorophyll is also anti-bacterial, limiting the development of unhealthy bacteria in the body. There’s even scientific evidence that chlorophyll strengthens the body’s cells which can help protect against carcinogens; in fact medical journals claim that chlorophyll is more effective in protecting against cancer than beta-carotene and vitamins A, C and E.

There are high levels of chlorophyll found in both wheat grass and barley grass. In fact, wheatgrass is mostly made up of chlorophyll (about 70%). The cleansing and detoxifying properties of barley grass are also largely related to its abundant chlorophyll content. Supplementing your diet with either – or both – of these ‘superfoods’ is by far the most effective way of harnessing the impressive powers of chlorophyll. And it couldn’t be simpler; either take it as a shot of juice, mix barley grass or wheat grass powder in water or fruit juice or take a wheatgrass or barley grass capsule daily.
