Perhaps you're feeling lethargic, run down or are lacking energy. While most people think it's a bug or flu, it could indeed be the types of foods you're eating. If you're looking for pick-me-up supplements that can give your body the nutrition boost it's starving for, look no further than the superfood combination of chlorella and spirulina. While you can take these plant foods separately, together they deliver that 1, 2 punch that your body needs to reverse the effects of diseases, aid poor digestion, fight anemia and low energy levels combat obesity.While you may have never specifically heard of chlorella and spirulina, they've been around for thousands of years as microscopic plants that are grown in fresh water, usually in very warm climates. Considered the best food sources on earth, these micro algae are thought to have every single nutrient that our bodies could possibly need. From all the Vitamin B's (including B12 that's simply never found in plants) to Vitamin C, E, calcium, zinc, potassium and Beta Carotene, there's nothing your body needs that can't be found in these miracle plants.Starting with Spirulina, you receive 12 times the digestive protein as traditional beef can offer. Additionally, it's healthier than its red meat counter part because it has a sizable portion of magnesium in it that our bodies are starving for. The bottom line is that it's the perfect food source for those who are striving to get more protein in their bodies such as body builders. It is also very effective for people who are malnourished or have difficulty gaining weight. In fact, for some, including those vegetarians out there, spirulina can be a complete protein meal replacement.Chlorella on the other hand, offers a decidedly different advantage to the processed food, intoxicated body. It has a phytochemical that actually helps rebuild nerve damage in the brain and the nervous system. It is currently being used with patients who are recovering from Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Diseases. But it can help you too if you suffer from high blood pressure, infections, bleeding gums, liver damage, asthma and even reverse the damages of cancer. With its high content of essential fatty acids like GLA, it helps improve brain functions as well as other common diseases of the human body.So, the big question becomes, how does one get their hands on Chlorella and Spirulina and how much of it should a person be taking? Since we don't all live along the equator and have access to this algae, how do we get it? Well first of all, it commonly comes in small tablet form and you can take as much as you like of it. But remember, taking one small tablet is not enough. That would be similar to taking a sliver of an orange and expecting your cold to go away. Instead, you'll take a handful of them at each meal, as a part of your meal. That's right, these supplements will become a part of your everyday meal. Even when ailments cease, your continued consumption of these superfoods will ensure your body works to top condition.
