In our last Blog we looked at one of the biggest challenges in modern day health, the continued struggle in coping with the toxic environment we have created around us. We pointed out some simple methods to reduce our exposure to harmful byproducts from our industrialized age, helping us to minimize the impact it has on our bodies. However we did not want to over look another very important aspect of this dilemma; helping our bodies deal with elimination of toxins once they have entered the body.
Along with annual or semiannual internal cleanses it has been well documented that daily consumption of Super Green Foods can help eliminate toxins that have been building up in the tissue and organs of the body.
Super Green food is not only high in nutritional value but also contains a significant amount of chlorophyll. Biochemists T. Negishi, and colleagues, on the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University, Japan, conducted a revealing experiment with chlorophyll on fruit flies. A toxic substance was fed to the fruit flies along with chlorophyll derived from spinach and the green product chlorella. The chlorophyll neutralized the toxin, and the fruit flies survived.
The importance of this is that it has a similar effect on humans. The seven glorious chlorophyll filled Super Green Foods include wheatgrass, barley grass, alfalfa, chlorella, spirulina, blue-green algae (AFA), and green tea, each helping to detoxify and rehabilitate the body on a cellular level. The health benefits of consuming Super Green Foods daily can not be overstated and should not be overlooked for optimal health and prevention.
One of the biggest challenges in modern day health is the continued struggle from the toxic environment we have created around us. It effects the air we breathe the foods we eat and the products our body comes in contact with. Fortunately are bodies in the short term deal well with the continued bombardment of any number of contaminants and toxins we come into contact with everyday. Unfortunately over the long term our bodies start to either become over saturated or organs responsible for eliminating contaminates wear out form over use and just cannot keep up with the demand.
The good news is there are several things we can do to help our bodies cope with this dilemma. The simplest approach is to first minimize your exposure to harmful byproducts of our industrialized age. You can do this by eating as organically as possible avoiding artificial ingredients and hydrogenated oils. Avoid airborne contaminates such as second hand smoke, drink filtered water and use a high quality Air Purifier system for your home. This will not only help you stay healthier, with the body devoting less time detoxing it will have more time to keep you energized and feeling great.
