Infosheet April 2015Green Health Drink : The Power of the Sun packed in Chlorophyll

Benefits of Green Juice.

Leading medical authorities, nutritionists, dietitians, and other known experts in the medical field recommend that we consume three to five servings of green leafyvegetables a day. No vitamin or medicine is a legitimate substitute. The healing elements that are found in green leafy vegetables are so powerful and synergistic, nocombination of synthetic medicines or supplements could ever match their power. Take a look at each of these benefits in more detail.

1. Chlorophyll power Chlorophyll, a green plant pigment, isquite possibly the most powerful elementthat exists in the universe. Chlorophyll is oneof the most intensely researched elementsin history and has been used in thetreatment of everything from periodontaldisease, diabetes and low iron, to openwounds, ulcers and body odour.

Today, foods that contain chlorophyll aregaining wide acclaim for their ability toprevent disease. While science does not fully understandthe miracle of chlorophyll, we do know thatits chemical makeup strongly resembleshemoglobin (the portion of the blood thatcarries oxygen). The major difference

between the two chemical structures is thatthe central binder of chlorophyll ismagnesium, while the center element ofhemoglobin is iron. Some research is now suggesting thatchlorophyll can efficiently releasemagnesium, and replace it with iron. In otherwords, chlorophyll can actually be convertedto hemoglobin, which increases the flow ofoxygen to all parts of the body.

The ability of the body to maintain anenvironment rich in oxygen is important forseveral reasons. One of the most importantbenefits is that it allows the body to releasemore carbon dioxide, which in turn, reducesstress on the body, creates greater energy

and endurance, and creates an aerobicenvironment. In an aerobic environment,disease cannot initiate.

An aerobic environment also is beneficialto the so-called friendly bacteria, anddetrimental to bad bacteria. The goodbacteria promote digestive health, while badbacteria contribute to such things asdisease, body odor, and bad breath.

2. Trace Minerals If you look in a chart of minerals, you'll seethat the recommended source of virtually allminerals and trace minerals is green leafyvegetables. In fact, such vegetables almost

always are the number one source of traceminerals. It is not an accident that while wehave begun consuming fewer and fewergreen foods, the lack of trace minerals quitepossibly has become the number one causeof disease within western culture today. Magnesium and iron are two key minerals,both for men and for women. However,chlorophyll is the only food that creates anenvironment that is ideally suited to deliverand to maintain those proper mineralqualities within the human physiology.

Chlorophyll contains magnesium as itscentral element and when we ingest foodsrich in chlorophyll, magnesium is immediately

delivered to the muscle tissue. Magnesium isthe mineral that is absolutely essential forboth cardiac and respiratory wellness. Infact, magnesium is that mineral that relievesmuscle cramping, allows our nerve endingsto be soothed, and allows us to breatheefficiently.

While many women need to increase theiron in their diets, but conventional

supplements usually result only inconstipation and headaches. This is becausethe body does not know what to do with theiron it is receiving. By drinking green foods that are bothabundant in chlorophyll and iron, we createthe environment whereby iron is usedefficiently by the body and actuallystrengthens the blood for both men andwomen. When you ingest minerals throughplants, you can never suffer from toxicity.The minerals in green vegetables will eitherbe utilized by the body or eliminated by thebody. They do not store and accumulate likesynthetic minerals.

There are many other benefits to thetrace minerals. Potassium is important fordigestive health, chromium helps bloodsugar control, and selenium aids themetabolism. Calcium reverses osteoporosis,and helps build stronger bones and beautifulhair. While calcium is probably the mostpopular mineral consumed throughsupplements, the bio-availability of suchproducts is a fraction of what you canreceive by consuming green leafyvegetables.

3. Vegetable Protein Lightweight complete vegetable proteincontain all eight essential amino acids, andare especially rich in lucine, isolucine, andvaline. These peptides act as the buildingblocks for the immune system, enhancereproductive function, and create leanconnective tissue which leads to dense,heavy permanent muscle on the body. If we do not provide the body with theproper volume and the proper quality ofpeptides, then we will begin to break downour own bodies. In other words, the body willdraw upon our own muscle tissue in aneffort to get raw material to build theimmune function. Of course, this creates alot of stress on the body, and begins tobreak down the immune system.

All of the phyto-chemicals found in greenfood are interrelated. You cannot isolatethem. You cannot mix liquid chlorophyll,digestive enzymes, antioxidant enzymes,mineral supplements, an alkalising agent,and lightweight protein supplement andexpect to come up with an effective food.Nature has woven an intricate tapestry andthis tapestry is of interdependent andcodependent nutrients, and we are welladvised to take advantage of the miracle ofgreen foods.

4. Enzymes Green foods contain phyto-nutrients that

are capable of initiating chemicalreactions. These enzymes are capable ofacting as catalysts at the cellular level,initiating cleansing, detoxifying andrebuilding of the body, while enhancingthe immune system.

Plant sources contain both antioxidant

and digestive enzymes. Green foods containenzyme complexes that are identical tothose enzyme complexes manufactured bythe body. Our bodies have a limited ability tomanufacture enzymes, and when we runout, death will result. Cooking and processing food eliminatesenzymes, while raw, unprocessed foodscontain them in great supply. Of all the rawfoods, green foods provide the largestsources of both digestive and antioxidantenzymes.

Green foods contain antioxidant enzymesbecause those enzymes defend the plantfrom damage from the sun, including its

ultraviolet and radioactive rays. Theprotective enzymes are quite similar toenzymes that serve the same purpose in thehuman body.

5. Alkalizing Agent Acid and alkalinity is measured on a pHscale of 0 to 14 with 7 being neutral. Scoresabove 7 are alkaline, and scores below 7 areacidic.

Certain ecologies of the body must bealkaline in order for humans to be healthy.The most notable example is the humanblood which must a pH of 7.4. When ourblood does not get enough raw materials tokeep it in a healthy alkaline state, then itliterally will borrow or rob alkaline potentialfrom the other ecologies of the body. The various parts of the body that shouldbe alkaline include the blood, the mouth, thesmall intestine and at times, the urinarytract. The first ecology that it will rob is themouth. This is important because when ourmouths are over acidic, there are a numberof common problems. These include cavities,plaque, bleeding gums, periodontal disease,and bad breath. Green foods can reverse this dangerousprocess. In fact, if you drink a green juiceproduct, you will often see a profoundeffect- a strengthening of

the gums, a cessation of bleeding whenbrushing or flossing, a reduction of' plaque,and an elimination of cavities. And mostimportantly, by normalizing the pH of theoral cavity of the mouth, then we find thatwe are capable of eating foods that arebetter for us and enjoying them. This in turnallows us to have the willpower to rejectfoods that are not good for us.

The small intestine needs to be alkaline inorder to regulate the passage of glucosethrough the intestine. The benefits ofregulated blood sugar are many, includingpotential weight loss, increased energy, andhigher metabolism. Both hypoglycemics anddiabetics find that they benefit significantly

by taking green juice, which alkalises thesmall intestine, which in turn, regulates thepassage of glucose through the intestinalbarrier. This results in energy, stamina, andendurance.
