Dr. Anju Sood, a renowned nutritionist, lists 7 of the distinct benefits of spirulina:
Excellent Source of Proteins: Due to its high source of protein content, spirulina is frequently referred to as the “lean, green, protein machine”. While non-vegetarians gain this protein through meat and eggs, spirulina is an excellent alternative for vegetarians consisting of 60% proteins. Which are essential to enhance the functioning of the heart as well as improve our hair health.
Helps Build Immunity The immune system is made of T cells, B cells and natural immune cells. Spirulina consists of certain elements that improve the functioning of these cells and hence builds the immune system.
Improves Digestion Spirulina contains amino acids that provide digestive enzymes, which facilitate healthy digestion & help fight intestinal infections.
A Great Source of Antioxidants Spirulina is an excellent source of Carotenoid which is the world’s most powerful antioxidants, which work wonders to fight against free radicals. An increase in free radicals in the body tends to aid wrinkling, bad skin and could also lead to cancer and heart diseases.
Good for Growing Children Spirulina facilitates healthy growth of children due to its numerous nutrients. It improves eye-sight, helps build concentration, boosts muscular growth as well as enhances tissue development
Improves Energy Levels Dr. Anju Sood says, “1 gram of protein gives the individual 4 Kilo calories of energy and since spirulina is loaded with proteins, it works as a great energy booster”
Anti-Inflammatory Properties Spirulina contains phycocyanin, which helps fight free radicals. This substance gives spirulina its great anti-inflammatory properties.
