Chlorophyll: Detoxify and Oxygenate the Body
essential mineral for cellular metabolisms, rich in magnesium, chlorophyll protects us from the invasion of germs in the colon, purifies and oxygenates the body.
Body purifier and immune system tonic
Chlorophyll, present in all plants except fungi, is the pigment responsible for their green colour.
It plays a fundamental role in photosynthesis and thus enables life on earth.
Indeed, thanks to photosynthesis, green plants transform carbon dioxide into oxygen essential for life, using solar radiation.
Any activity aimed at limiting photosynthesis is therefore a real threat to humans as it reduces the oxygen content of the atmosphere.
Chlorophyll carries out the synthesis of the plants’ nutrients allowing them to live thanks to solar radiation.
Carbon dioxide is transformed by chlorophyll into energy carbohydrates producing oxygen and water: chlorophyll is called "plant blood" and the analogy with blood is relevant because only one atom separates haemoglobin from chlorophyll, magnesium replacing iron in the latter.
Chlorophyll is, indeed, a protein macromolecule made of hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur and magnesium.
Apart from its richness in magnesium, an essential mineral for cellular metabolisms, chlorophyll’s function is to protect us from the invasion of pathogenic germs in the colon: this is called the barrier effect.
Our large intestine is estimated to harbour 100,000 billion bacteria and not all are useful. The supply of chlorophyll in the intestine produces an unfavourable environment for the growth of undesirable bacteria by preventing their multiplication.
Chlorophyll has a role as an intestinal transit regulator, whether slow or fast.
Its bifido-active action improves immunity by increasing the number of B lymphocytes.
By cleansing the entire digestive tract, chlorophyll will also purify breath.
Starting from the intestinal sphere, the effect of chlorophyll will also be felt on red blood cells, cellular respiration, elimination of free radicals and toxins, reduction of bad odours (like a deodorant).
An oriental proverb states: "the wise man is the one who ignores his intestine".
To achieve wisdom in health matters, consider using the purifying, sanitising, oxygenating and regulating properties of chlorophyll.
