Hey there, viewers. Let’s talk about chlorophyll. No I’m not going to bore you, I promise. But
it needs to be talked about. For those of you unfamiliar, the word “chlorophyll” might sound
like a harmful chemical. Like something used for explosives. In reality, chlorophyll is just the
green pigment found in plants. With light, plants use chlorophyll to make food. Because of their
vitamins, antioxidants and other properties, it is often used as a form of medicine.
Let’s talk today about What Happens To Your Body When You Use Chlorophyll.
Can it heal your skin? What about help with weight loss? Can it also be used as a deodorant?
Wait, can chlorophyll help you against cancer? We’re talking all that AND more...
It Can Heal Your Skin
Have you been getting cuts and bruises on your skin? Well chlorophyll can help. All
you need to do is drink a vat of it before bed every night… I’m kidding. If only it
were that simple. In reality, it takes time, but definitely smoothens the road to recovery.
You see, chlorophyll can reduce inflammation in your body. It can also cause bacteria in
your wound to decrease. A study from back in 2008 focused on people with bad wounds.
It was found that ointments containing chlorophyll worked better than a lot of
other treatments. With that said, more research needs to be done.
Not only can chlorophyll help with your wounds, it can also assist with other skin conditions.
A 2015 study on people with acne showed that gel with chlorophyllin in it
improved the state of their skin. People with sun damage saw similar results.
So the next time you’re suffering from minor skin trouble, look into using chlorophyll.

It Builds Your Blood
Now what do I mean by this? Why does my blood need to be “built
up”? This is just an expression for strengthening your blood vessels.
You want your blood to be in healthy shape. This means the right amount of red blood cells.
With chlorophyll, you improve the quality of these cells, and allow them to do their job.
Let me tell you about a 2004 study they did on wheatgrass, which contains around 70%
chlorophyll. By the end of the study, people with blood disorders who consumed
the wheatgrass required fewer infusions. Much like the study we mentioned a minute ago,
more research needs to be done on the exact effect chlorophyll has.
A lot of people will overlook the importance of their red blood cells.
I mean, how often do you really think about them? Let’s talk about hemoglobin for a second…
Hemoglobin is a type of protein in your red blood cells that carries oxygen and carbon dioxide,
from your organs and tissues, all the way to your lungs. It’s essential.
When your body has low hemoglobin, your red blood cell count is too low. This is called anemia.
When you have anemia, your body isn’t getting the oxygen it needs. As a result, you’re going to feel
tired and gross. If this is something you’ve been experiencing lately, talk to a doctor. Anemia is a
strong possibility. Outside of that, you should look into chlorophyll. Plenty of foods have it.
These foods include things like spinach, broccoli, collard greens, spirulina and so
many others. If you’re willing to brave the after taste, these foods have so many health benefits.
It Assists Weight Loss
We can all get into better shape, especially after the year we’ve had. A few bags of chips
go a long way. Did you know that obesity rates have tripled since 1975? In 2016,
almost 2 billion adults were overweight! While it hasn’t been fully confirmed,
research has hinted that chlorophyll might actually be able to help you shed a few pounds.
In 2014, researchers gave people a green plant supplement with chlorophyll. Those who took
the supplement every day for 12 weeks lost more weight than people who didn’t take it.
There is also reason to believe that chlorophyll will reduce your level of bad cholesterol.
This is pretty important if you’re a heart patient. Bad LDL cholesterol will increase
your risk of heart attack and stroke. Now if you’re searching for better results the next
time you step on the scale, just know that supplements aren’t available to everyone.
You’re going to want to go straight to the source and eat more greens.
Obesity’s nothing to laugh at. If you’re not taking your weight seriously,
it could cost you your life. Actually, that brings me to my next point...
But before we continue, are you constantly worrying about the state of your health? Well you
need to switch your diet up. Check out our recent video on 9 Foods That Weaken Your Immune System.
Now back to our discussion on the effects of chlorophyll.
Chlorophyll Reduces Cancer
We don’t need to talk about how scary cancer is. Luckily,
there are foods that can reduce your risk of getting it. Chlorophyll may be one of these .
In 2013, scientists found that chlorophyll reduced the amount
of liver tumors in animals. They went from 29% to 63%. When it came to stomach tumors,
chlorophyll reduced 24 to 45% of them. That’s pretty neat.
There’s also evidence to show that chlorophyll can decrease your risk of pancreatic cancer.
Animals that take chlorophyll supplements saw a smaller tumor size. There were fewer
pancreatic cancer cells. Now keep in mind that this evidence is only coming from animals.
They still need to do more research on humans to know it’s full effect.
But for now, it’s looking pretty hopeful. One study was done on four human subjects in 2009.
It showed that chlorophyll may limit certain cancer-causing compounds from being ingested.
As of right now, a study is currently underway in China, which plans to show the effect of
chlorophyll on liver cancer cells. This will be carried out over the span of 20 years.
It Can Possibly Be Used As Deodorant
It’s getting hotter outside. That’s all I need to say.
The need for a strong deodorant is always important during the warmest seasons.
Just think about all that sweat coming from your pits. It’s going to be a nightmare.
If you’re not getting the right results from your speed stick, it’s going to get really frustrating.
But there’s actually hope. Chlorophyllin has been used since the 1940’s to kill body odor.
While most research on chlorophyllin and odor are outdated, there are studies that have worked in
its favor. In 2004, researchers focused on people with a strange condition where their body gives
off a fishy odor. In the end, they found that chlorophyll decreased the odor by a huge amount.
So if you’re tired of people standing at a distance while talking to you,
you might want to eat more greens. It can be a decent alternative to your deodorant. Too
much deodorant can also come with downsides. For instance, deodorant carries aluminum. Too
much aluminum in your body will lead to disease, especially if you’re suffering from poor kidneys.
Normally, you can rely on your kidneys to filter the aluminum out.
But if your kidneys aren’t functioning properly, the aluminum won’t be filtered fast enough.
As a result, your chances of bone disease and dementia will increase.
This is usually the case if your kidney function is 30% or less.
On top of fighting against B.O., chlorophyll will also prevent bad breath and smelly urine.
That’s a big plus in my books!
It Helps Your Intestines
Normally when the word “intestines” comes up in conversation, people shut out immediately.
Who wants to talk about their digestive system? Well if it’s infected, you might want to speak up.
Chlorophyll is known to reduce the production of toxins in your digestive system.
It can also decrease the gas you experience during digestion. Not only can this help your intestines,
it will also assist something else. Let’s talk about your liver for a second…
The liver, another gross-out organ, does more than we give it credit for. It produces bile, which
helps your body digest fats and vitamins. The bile ducts will carry the juice from your liver to
your gallbladder and intestines. This can all be assisted if you eat more chlorophyll-rich foods.
It’s one of the best ways to naturally detox your body, and smoothen the digestion process.
You see? The intestines aren’t so bad afterall…
Your body reacts to everything differently. There are so many things that can increase your health.
