Most people have heard of detoxification and most of us probably know what it means; but for those who don’t it basically means the removal from the body of toxins and heavy metals. These impurities are everywhere as we lead our normal daily lives mainly from the pollution found loitering in the air and surprisingly from many processed foodstuffs that we eat.

In a previous article on water, I mentioned that distilled water could be used in the short term for detoxification but on no account should it be used continuously because of its ability to rid the body of essential minerals as well as the bad stuff. Because we are continually subjected to pollution, detoxification should also be an ongoing part of our daily lives. But it needs to be simple and uncomplicated.

Enter stage right, CHLORELLA. One of the very few supplements that I take on a daily basis is this single cell freshwater algae called chlorella. It really is a green super food and I don’t use the phrase “super food” lightly, either. The media is very fond of this phrase when hyping a new product or fashionable health regime, but in chlorella’s case it deserves all the praise it can get.

It aids your body in the natural process of toxin removal but does not bind to or eliminate
the essential nutrients required by the body.

It helps strengthen and boost your immune system.

It helps your body to digest food more efficiently.

It helps keep your breath fresh because of its high Chlorophyll content
.
It contains high levels of the antioxidant Beta-Carotene which provides your body with added

defence against free radicals

In the second part of this article I will finish the story on chlorella with a brief overview of its history, its production and its make-up, but I will finish this article as I normally do by banging on about the positive benefits that massage can have on your prostate. And I don’t mean the invasive internal type either. Just a simple piece of non medical kit that you sit on, fully clothed, is all you need. I really do think that every man over the age of 45 should have one of these it is that important. Take a look and see for yourself.

Very briefly Chlorella is a single cell fresh water algae grown in beautifully clear water in Japan. It comes to you as a whole food which contains an energetic concentration of naturally balanced nutrients in small green tablet form. Some of the main ingredients it contains include vegetable protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals.

Chlorella is no new kid on the block either. It has been in existence since the Precambrian Period, between you and me, that is over 2.5 billion years ago. Records show that it was being researched in the 1890’s as a potential food source because of its phenomenal growth.

I will conclude this brief tutorial on Chlorella by highlighting the main health benefits that can be gained by using this green super food as a supplement. One of its main competent is Chlorophyll which is said to:

• Cleanse the blood stream
• Deodorise Bad Breath
• Control Body Odour
• Deactivate Carcinogenic Substances and halt Tooth Deay

Also inflammatory problems such as arthritis and stomach ulcers react positively to algae supplementation.
