Discover how the green superfoods spirulina, chlorella and wheatgrass can give your body the nutrient rich diet it deserves The Western diet at times is so nutritionally poor that the reality is that we are starving our body of what it needs to perform.
The soil in which our food grows is becoming depleted, nutrient levels are lower than they were years ago.
Plus, with all the man-made additives, preservatives and colourings in our foods we are placing so much stress put on our system as our body struggles to deal with these toxins - which can lead to the common illness problems of fatigue and obesity as well as more serious illnesses.
We all have our weaknesses and eat the wrong stuff from time to time but what are the alternatives? Well I think that green superfoods can be a solution.
Superfoods are the most nutritionally rich foods available - they are packed full of vitamins, minerals, essential amino acids and phytonutrients.
The green superfoods are so called due to their high chlorophyll content.
Chlorophyll is said to have blood cleansing properties and is thought to help rid our body of the toxins caused by the western diet.
Other key benefits are that they can act as an energy booster, helping us with stamina to get through our busy lives and by strengthening our immune systems.
Once our body has received and been satisfied with the nutrients it needs to function then it stops craving for additional food.
Below is a brief synopsis of three green superfoods: Wheatgrass is fantastic for your overall health through its cleansing and detoxifying properties.
It can really help improve a sluggish digestive system, leaving you feeling refreshed and more energetic.
Chlorella is great for boosting the immune system and can really help with a detox programme.
Its ability to grab hold of toxins and remove them from your system can leave you feeling cleaner inside.
Spirulina, which is a microscopic blue/green algae, is bursting full of protein and can really help to improve our stamina levels.
It is becoming a lot more popular with athletes and gym-goers who find it improves their performance.
I hope this helps people understand more about superfoods and in particular how they may reduce cravings for processed foods.
Ultimately we all have a choice about what we put into our bodies, but as was mentioned at the beginning, you can't expect your body to function properly if you put the wrong type of food into it.
