Green superfoods: Chlorella and Moringa

There is no healthy diet without superfoods. If green superfoods are becoming the new kids on the block, there are a few good reasons for that. They have amazing nutritious and detoxifying properties and are also quite versatile once you get familiar and know how to use them. I would say that the main trick with superfoods and green superfoods in particular is to know how to introduce them in our daily diet.

Why do we need green superfoods:

Conventional (non organically grown) products are depleted unlike green superfoods

There are many reasons why it is so and for the time being it suffices to say that vegetables and fruits are approximately ten times less nutritious than fifty years ago.

• The shipping and storage conditions degrade the nutrient content further, which is why it is advisable to go for seasonal.
• The intense use of pesticides and other chemical additives yield potentially poisonous produce —that creates even higher risk of long-term health problems.

 

• GMO is everywhere: An estimated 80% of food crops such as tomatoes, corn, soya and sugar beets are now genetically engineered and snuck into the vast majority of our processed food. GMO produce has been shown to cause serious health problems to those who consume them. The lack of food labeling regulation, particularly in the USA, makes them even harder to identify in our food supply. The University of Caen in France showed that a lifelong diet of GMO may be associated with organ damage, tumors and premature death in lab mice.

What about Vitamins and multi vitamins.

I could write a whole blog on the subject and may be I will. Let’s just say that synthetic vitamins do not talk the same language as our body: DNA and therefore are not recognized and for the vast majority flushed out through urine. Have you heard of the expression “Expensive Urine. More, they sometimes increase the very body process they are supposed to promote by increasing the level of free radicals endured by the body.

What are superfoods? If you are unsure just check us out. But Beware!!!! All superfoods are not created equal. There is already a good probability that you are consuming some of them in your diet, such as tomatoes (organic version), garlic, green tea and no – even if I am French – I will not consider red wine as a superfood and even less white wines as green superfoods, sorry.

Now If you have to go on a Superfood diet, I suggest you choose the A team, including quite some amount of green superfoods for optimized long-term health benefits and happier life, no less.

Let’s go for number 1 of the green superfoods.
