SUPERFOODS: CHLORELLA

Today I will talk about a super food that is never missing in my home. Not only that, but I talk about it to everyone who comes visit, and even made my mom buy a couple of bottles. I drink it every single morning in my smoothies (because it tastes a bit funny), usually mixed with spirulina. I'm talking about chlorella. Remember, as I had mentioned in prior posts, the body's pH must be balanced to keep us in good health and with optimal cellular oxygenation, chlorella not only helps you be alkaline but has so many benefits! This is truly a magical food.

Chlorella is a single celled freshwater microalgae, which throughout history has been able to survive thanks to its tough outer shell, which protects her genetic integrity. It's one of the most efficient foods on Earth because of the way it uses and concentrates sunlight. Able to reproduce four times every 24 hours, it's the fastest growing plant, with the highest content of chlorophyll on the planet. With it's dark green color, it's truly a super food because it is composed of ⅔ protein and ⅛ of chlorella growth factor (CGF), a complex of nucleotide-peptide made from beta glucans, nucleic acid, amino acids, polysaccharides and peptides that is only found in this plant.
