Health Benefits of Chlorophyll
Chlorophyll is the green pigment in the leaves and stems of plants, which enables them to use the sun's energy to turn carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates.
Chlorophyll (Wikipedia) is extremely similar in chemical structure to the haemoglobin in our blood, the only difference being that a haemoglobin molecule has iron in the centre, while chlorophyll has magnesium.
The Health Benefits of Chlorophyll include:
anti-inflammatory
anti-bacterial
protects the body from radiation
removes heavy metals and other toxins from the body
heals and rejuvenates the liver
heals wounds
prevents premature aging, and prolongs youthfulness
prevents bad body odour
All green plants contain chlorophyll, and for maximum health benefits it's best consumed raw. This may well be the reason why green salads are so good for us.
Freshly juiced wheatgrass juice is an excellent source of chlorophyll.
