Chinese Herbs: Spirulina
Spirulina Superfood
There are a lot of healthy herbal supplements out there. One of the best is Spirulina. Spirulina is a blue green microalgae that is grown in tropical lakes. The algae was first discovered by a French doctor in 1962, a man by the name of Dr. Clement. Dr. Clement made a startling discovery that people living around Lake Chades (Africa) had stronger and healthier bodies when compared to that of North Americans. When he looking into this more deeply, he found that the Ganimou consumed algae floating on the surface of the tropical lake.So why is Spirulina so good for the human body?
Spirulina is a very digestible food; it contains almost 70% protein and practically all the essential amino acids required by the human body -- something rare among plants. Studies have shown that Spirulina is easier to digest than meat -- to the order of 5 times! Spirulina is a very rich source of natural Vitamin B12, Vitamin E, calcium, iron, antioxidants ,carbs, and special enzymes. It is packed full of carotenoids, phycocyanin, and chlorophyll (which can be used as a blood purifier).
Many experiments have shown phycocyanin proteins drastically increase the survival rate amongst populations of mice suffering from liver cancer. Spirulina thus serves to prevent and inhibit any sort of cancer cell growth. More studies have shown Spirulina to be quite effective against viral replication and can also greatly strengthen cellular immune systems. Even more, Spirulina has shown to effectively treat Anemia, a condition that causes deficiency in hemoglobin.
Spirulina is the best source of natural vitamin B12 in the world. This miracle plant even proves effective against stomach ulcers! Tests have shown that taking 2 grams of Spirulina a day coats the stomach with chlorophyll which causes the ulcers to vanish. Indeed, other diseases such as liver disorders, diabetes, and even hepatitis respond well to regular intake of Spirulina.
Spirulina is called a superfood for good reason. It contains the compound Gamma Linolenic Acid which is a specially type of fatty acid that is not produced by your own body. This fatty acid is crucial for the proper development of bones, brain tissues, hair and skin grown, and even rate of metabolism. Additional medical benefits of Spirulina are a reduction of cholesterol, detoxification of the blood, and increased energy.
Like most other herbs (especially Chinese herbs), Spirulina is absolutely safe for human consumption. Research has shown no negative effects from consuming moderate amounts of Spirulina on a regular basis. You can now find Spirulina in health stores across the world as it's a herbal health supplement. The plant is safe for children to ingest and can offer them a lot of health benefits. The WHO, in 1992, stated that "Spirulina is a high quality food product. It is rich in iron and protein. It is safe to consume and is an excellent nutrient supplement of children."
So make sure you add this fantastic herbal supplement to your diet. In addition to all the other numerous health benefits, you will gain more energy throughout the day, and increase your general wellbeing.
