Alright, what's so great about Green Superfoods? Well, they have the greatest concentration of easily digestable nutrients, fat burning compounds, and vitamins and minerals to keep your body healthy. They also contain essential fatty acids, healthy bacteria to help your digestive system function properly, and protect against illness and disease.
What are they?
Alfalfa Grass
Green Barley Grass
Wheatgrass
Wild Blue Green Algae
Spirulina
Chlorella
Alfalfa, Barley, and Wheatgrass are great for maximum health. It is beneficial to rotate the 3 types. Alfalfa contains all the know vitamins and minerals, digestive enzymes, phytoestrogen, flavonoids, amino acids, and chlorophyll. Good for strengthening the blood and liver, weight loss, and aiding digestion. Barley contains about every nutrient needed by the human body besides vitamin D. It is very easy to digest. It has as much protein as meat, 11 times the calcium of cow's milk, 5 times the iron of spinach, and 7 times more vitamin C than orange juice. It helps protect against pollutants, radiation, cancer, ulcers, and digestive problems. Also helps lower cholesterol. Finally, Wheatgrass is very similar to barley grass. It cannot be digested and needs to be juiced. It is loaded with nutrients and also aids weight loss.
The algaes provide virtually every essential vitamin, mineral, amino acid, enzyme, and protein. Probably the single highest form of nutrition known to man. Blue Green Algae is 60% protein and has a more complete amino acid profile than beef or soybeans. It helps improve memory and has been linked with reversing the progression of Alzheimer's. Spirulina contains 60-70% protein versus beef coming in at only 25%. It is known to help curb cravings and can be used to assist with weight loss. Chlorella is good for the immune system, reducing cholesterol, and preventing hardening of the arteries.
These grasses and algaes can be found in powder and pill form in the health food store or online.
