5 Benefits of Chlorophyll

Chlorophyll plays an important role in keeping our bodies alkaline and healthy.

It’s what gives plants their green color; the greener the vegetable or plant the more chlorophyll there is.

Five noted benefits of taking chlorophyll regularly:

1. Fights Cancer - specifically liver, colon, skin, and stomach cancers. It does so by reducing the tumors in the body and binding to the aflatoxins.

2. Powerful Antioxidant - may also reduce carcinogens in the body.

3. Increases Energy Naturally - green energy!

4. Skin Health -think radiant youthful skin! Chlorophyll is loaded with Vitamins A, C, E and K which help with skin appearance, as well as diminishing fine lines and dark spots.

5. Naturally Detoxes the Body - helps to clear out toxins and keep the body alkaline.

Chlorophyll - the ultimate superfood

I’m currently obsessed with chlorophyll.

This love affair is nothing new. In fact, Lean and Green Body® was created out of my love for all things green...and literally helping people to heal their bodies from the inside out.

Chlorophyll has always been a big part of my diet, and it’s part of the reason my skin glows the way it does!

Food can be such a powerful tool when we use it properly. Chlorophyll is found in chloroplasts and is what gives plants their green coloring. Plants use chlorophyll and sunlight to help obtain their nourishment. It contains more light energy than any other food! Amazing.

A little sunshine and some greens can go a long way!

As a self-proclaimed detox queen, I love chlorophyll for its natural detoxification benefits! Chlorophyll enters our body and improves the quality and quantity of red blood cells. It is also naturally very high in magnesium, which helps to bring oxygen to our blood. All of this not only helps boost our energy, but it also encourages toxins, heavy metals, and other impurities to leave our bodies. Chlorophyll naturally helps to alkalize our body, making it a less desirable place for disease and illness to flourish.

Chlorophyll has numerous benefits from anti-aging, skincare, increased energy, blood health, wound healing, strong immune system, cancer prevention & treatment.

Anti-Aging

When you apply chlorophyll topically it can help to reduce photo-aging caused by sun exposure. Living in South Florida this is so important. I recently started using the Coco Kind Chlorophyll face mask, and I’m loving it.

Skin Care

When applied topically chlorophyll has been shown to decrease acne, shrink pores, and reduce future breakouts. It helps to create a brighter skin appearance.

Energy

As I stated above chlorophyll helps to improve the quality and quantity of red blood cells, and increases the amount of oxygen in the blood. Try replacing your afternoon coffee with some chlorophyll for focused and clear energy!

Wound Healing

Doctors started prescribing chlorophyll for wound healing after surgeries in the 1940’s. A new study was completed in 2008 that still supported this thinking, and many doctors still use this practice today.

Cancer Treatment

Research is still being completed in this area, but studies as recent as 2016 show that chlorophyll has the ability to shrink and in some cases prevent cancer and tumors from developing.

It’s important to be consistent when taking chlorophyll, as with any supplement or healthy living regimen. When starting chlorophyll many started to see real tangible results after just two weeks.

Although I have complied a lot of research for this brief blog post, I always encourage you to go out and do your own research. I want to educate you and empower you to take charge of your health and wellbeing.

As with anything please consult your physician or health practitioner before adding this to your daily routine.
