What is Spirulina?
The first time I heard the word spirulina my first thought was it rhymes with ballerina. Not very helpful when it comes to nutrition, but that is what first popped into my mind! Since this superfood has been all the rage recently, I did some research on it and the second thing I thought was …. They call it pond scum!!!???
So obviously I wasn’t exactly excited about trying Spirulina, but then I looked into the health benefits and my opinion changed VERY quickly. Spirulina is one of the most nutritious and nutrient dense foods on the planet. Lets checkout some of the amazing benefits
1. Supports the Body's Natural Cleansing Processes - One study looked at spirulina and the body's natural cleansing processes. With the processed foods and different chemicals in what we consume it is super important to support those natural processes when we can.
2. It is being studied - There are a huge amount of studies out there on spirulina and its nutrients.
3. It is a source of antioxidants - We spoke about inflammation last week. Studies have looked at how Spirulina scavenges free radicals in your body.
