The Angels have enviable skin, bodies, hair, lifestyles, husbands… the list goes on. And yet, we might be a step closer to attaining at least some of those things! Though the Angels team Chlorella with yoga and regular gym sessions, they both wouldn’t go without this ‘secret health weapon’. And, when you look at the health and beauty benefits, it’s no wonder.
Shhhh…. Chlorella’s anti ageing properties have dubbed it the new Creme De La Mer.
What is it?
Chlorella is a completely natural algae which is found in fresh water. It possesses an abundance of amino acids, nutrients and protein: twice as much protein than spinach! Chlorella has also been used to treat cancer and to protect the body from the effects of radiation treatment, proof of it’s superfood status.
Health Benefits:
According to Nadia Brydon, whom is a senior therapist in complementary medicine at Breast Cancer Haven, magnesium is one of nature’s antidepressants. And funnily enough, Chlorella is packed full of it. This means it fights and prevents mental illness, such as stress and depression. Chlorella can also prevent colds and other diseases as it boosts your immune system! Other benefits include boosted energy (due to its high iron levels), reduced body fat percentage, lower blood glucose levels and aided digestion. It is also supposed to improve your quality of sleep, which is always welcome in my book!
Yep, I’ll take Miranda’s hair please!
Beauty Benefits:
And to go with that healthy interior, we need a healthy – glowing – exterior… Chlorella improves skin firmness, tone and improves circulation. Improved skin firmness is key to wrinkle prevention. Better circulation will help decrease skin pigmentation, which accounts for dark circles under your eyes. Chlorella also promotes healthy hair and reduces body fat: meaning a leaner, trimmer you!
Chlorella is aid nail growth and prevent them splitting! Healthy nails, happy you!
I’ve already ordered mine and I’ll do a review on it in about two months time – I want to give it long enough to really see the extent of the benefits. Tablet form is by far the easiest way to get your intake of Chlorella and it is widely and cheaply available. Let me know what you guys think too! Have you tried Chorella?
