Health Alert: Doctor Reveals 3 Unexpected Reasons To Take Chlorella Daily

TORRANCE, Calif. - April 22, 2014 - PRLog -- Millions of people worldwide understand the algae, chlorella, is a valuable part of their diet. By supplementing with it regularly, they know they’re gaining phenomenal health benefits. But many people don’t have specific reasons for starting or sustaining a good healthy habit like this. For this reason, holistic doctor, Mark Drucker, MD offers 3 surprising reasons to make chlorella a regular daily habit.

“I wish more people would turn their daily cup of coffee into a daily measure of chlorella tablets,” Notes Dr. Mark Drucker, MD, founder and medical director of the Center for Advanced Medicine. “Chlorella is one of those nutritional wonders that can not only transform your day – but your life over the long term. The key, however, is to make it regular. Its benefits come from the long-term nutritional work it does in your body. For this reason, I like to offer my patients specific – and sometimes surprising reasons – to take this green superfood daily.”

The first reason Dr. Drucker offers for daily chlorella intake is that people can survive on chlorella alone. NASA has studied it as an optimum food for space flight. And chlorella researcher, Dr. Leon DeSeblo, who lived to be 107 years old, spent weeks at a time eating only chlorella.

While eating only chlorella may not be appealing, he offers a compelling explanation for why this makes it a good supplement to take regularly.

“Chlorella’s complete nutrition gives you a solid foundation that’s hard to find in most other foods,” explains Dr. Drucker, “Most supplements you take – vitamin D, fish oil, calcium – are really only part of a wholesome diet. They provide important nutrition. But you would get sick and die if you tried to subsist on any of these supplements alone. Chlorella, on the other hand, gives you everything you need to live. Chlorella contains ounce per ounce more protein than steak, 22 vitamins and minerals, essential fatty acids, fiber, antioxidants, and more concentrated nucleic acids than any other food.”

The second reason Dr. Drucker advises ingesting chlorella regularly is that it’s impossible to digest. While this may seem counterintuitive, there’s a good reason for this. While people can’t digest chlorella’s tough fibers, they provide indispensable nourishment to the probiotic bacteria living inside of the human body.

Chlorella’s fibers are classified as prebiotics. Friendly, probiotic bacteria love to snack on these special fibrous oligosaccharides. Probiotic bacteria in the colon turn these fibers into a special energy pack that allows them to multiply and thrive.

According to one lab study, chlorella’s prebiotic goodness helped triple the growth of helpful bacteria.

Finally, Dr. Drucker notes that people should take chlorella regularly because it’s yellow. For people familiar with this dark green, chlorophyll-rich alga this may come as a surprise.

“Yes, chlorella may be one of the richest sources of chlorophyll on the planet,” acknowledges Dr. Drucker. “But hidden under all that green chlorophyll is a rich supply of another pigment that is just as amazing when it comes to its health benefits. And this pigment, lutein, is bright yellow.”

Eye doctors are particularly excited about lutein because of the role it plays in vision health. Lutein is found in extremely high concentrations in the eye, particularly in the retina, lens and macula. Lutein protects the eye from high intensity light waves, like the ultraviolet rays in sunlight. Low lutein levels have been associated with problems later in life like macular degeneration.

Recently published research from Japan indicates low levels of this free-radical scavenging pigment may also be linked to the risk for Alzheimer’s as well.

One 3 gram serving of chlorella has 4 micrograms of this special yellow pigment hidden under its greenness. Four micrograms is more than 60% of the total amount of lutein recommended on a daily basis for optimum eye health.
