What Are The Benefits of SuperFood

Many Health Professionals believe Green Foods are critical to the success of every cleansing program. The molecular composition of chlorophyll is so close to that of the human hemoglobin that these supplements can act as "mini-transfusions" for the blood, and tonics for the brain and immune system. They are excellent nutrient source of vitamins, minerals, proteins, and enzymes. They contain large amounts of Vitamins C, B1, B2, B3, pantothenic acid, folic acid, carotene and choline. They are high in minerals, including potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, copper, phosphorus and manganese (see back of this page for a closer look at the importance of these minerals). Green Food supplements also have anti-infective properties, carry off acid wastes, neutralize body pH, and are excellent for mucous cleansing. They can help clear the skin, cleanse the kidneys, and purify and build the blood.

Green Foods are power plants for humans. Our bodies' chemistry comes from plant nutrients because plant chlorophyll transmits the energies of the sun and the soil to our bodies. The most therapeutic ingredients in Green Foods is chlorophyll, the basic component of the "Blood" of plants. Chlorophyll is the pigment that plants use to carry out photosynthesis - absorbing the light energy from the sun, and converting it into plant energy. This energy is transferred into our cells and blood when we consume fresh greens. Eating chlorophyll-rich foods helps our bodies build oxygen-carrying red blood cells. Chlorophyll detoxes your liver and purifies the blood.

A Look at the Minerals In SuperFood

Potassium -balances our acid-alkaline system, transmitting electrical signals between cells and nerves, enhancing muscle performance, and working to keep a regular heart rhythm for a stable blood pressure. Potassium helps oxygenate the brain for clear thinking and controls allergic reactions. Potassium deficiency results from stress, hypoglycemia, diarrhea, acute anxiety or depression.

Calcium: is needed by every cell in order to survive. It is important in the maintenance of a regular heartbeat and the transmission of nerve impulses. Calcium is essential in blood clotting, lowering blood pressure, preventing muscle cramping, deterring colon cancer and osteoporosis, controlling anxiety and depression, ensuring quality rest and sleep, and keeping the skin healthy. Helps protect against lead absorption. Deficiency can result from aluminum-based antacids, aspirin, cortisone, calcium channel blockers, and some antibiotics. It is very important to supplement with the right whole food forms of calicum, calicum supplementation of none food based calicum can contribute to calicum definecies.

Magnesium: is a vital catalyst in enzyme activity for energy production, is critical for skeletal structure and deferring osteoporosis as it assists in calcium and potassium uptake. It is necessary for nerve and muscle function, healthy blood vessels, important for tooth formation, heart and kidney health, and also for restful sleep. It may counteract stress, irregular heartbeat, emotional instability and depression, calming hyperactive children and, combined with Vitamin B6, may help prevent calcium oxalate kidney stones. Try Avena Ionic Magnesium for one of the highest absorbing magnesium's available.

Iron: combines with proteins and copper to produce hemoglobin and the oxygenation of red blood cells. Iron strengthens immunity, helps in wound healing, keeps hair softer and colour young, eyes bright, and body strong. Deficiency can result from insufficient intake or absorption, diet high in phosphorus, ulcers, overuse of antacids or coffee, strenuous exercise, lack of B6 or B12, or intestinal bleeding. Unbound iron is not desirable and so best sourced from herbs or foods.

Copper: aids in formation of bone, in iron absorption for hemoglobin, and red blood cells, in formation of collagen for connective tissue, helps prevent loss of hair color, helps protect from osteoporosis and against free radical damage. Deficiency may be caused by excess refined sugars or lack of absorption, however excess is not desirable.

Phosphorus: is necessary for skeletal structure, brain oxygenation, cell reproduction, kidney function and utilization of vitamin and food conversion to energy. Vitamin D increases its effectiveness. Depletion can result from excessive use of antacids, excessive use of phosphoric drinks (pop) or junk food.

Manganese: nourishes the brain and nerve centers, used in cartilage formation, aids in sugar and fat metabolism, helps eliminate fatigue, nervousness and lower back pain, and helps reduce seizures in epileptics. Depletion may be caused by tranquilizer drugs.
