Middle school children are taught in science class that plants produce chlorophyll using sunlight and water. This chlorophyll is what plants use to "feed" themselves, and it is also what makes the plants so green when they are healthy. Chlorophyll is the culprit that leaves behind grass stains on children's clothing and it's also what turns the water green when you boil green beans for supper. Our world is rich with chlorophyll even if we're not looking for it!
Let's switch gears a moment.
The human body was designed to gain nutrition from many plant sources. As children, many of us can remember parents and grandparents preparing a garden every spring and cooking most of our meals from what was grown in those gardens. Beans, peas, squashes, tomatoes, melons, cucumbers, okra, .... and when there were leftovers, that just meant we were having vegetable soup tomorrow! What I remember noticing back then was that the foods we got from the garden were so brightly colored. The same foods from a can were dull and lifeless and mushy. The canned ones had lost a lot of their nutritional value. Those vegetables and fruits from the garden were RICH in those nutrients, though!
Combining the two thoughts we've discussed here, it makes sense to say that we consume a lot of chlorophyll all the time. We likely got more of it when we were kids and fewer processed foods were available. Society in general was a lot healthier back then too! Did chlorophyll have something to do with that? Perhaps!
Today, we see a lot of people in the herb shop with various health concerns. During the summertime, when Georgia is so stifling hot, chlorophyll comes to the rescue and helps lower the body's internal temperature. Those who have days they can't seem to get their blood sugar to come down to earth, chlorophyll enhances the body's ability to utilize resources better and lower that blood sugar number. Some find that they struggle with anemia, and they opt to take their chlorophyll in a capsule form so they get a more regulated amount in their system. Not surprisingly, they see improvement in iron levels! With such a range of health benefits, it's no wonder that chlorophyll gets recommended to so many people.
