Live longer: Chlorophyll reduces cancer risk and promotes liver health to boost longevity
Chlorophyll is a pigment present in all green plants and a few other organisms. It is required for photosynthesis, which is the process by which light energy is converted into chemical energy. According to health experts, chlorophyll should be part of our daily lives and with the numerous health benefits it’s easy to see why.
Chlorophyll contains vitamins, antioxidants, and therapeutic properties that all majorly benefit the body.
Dr Keith Kantor, nutritionist and dietician and CEO of the Nutritional Addiction Mitigation Eating and Drinking program said: “Chlorophyll suppresses appetite, aids in weight loss, decreases spikes in insulin which lessens cravings, helps with skin healing, helps in detoxifying the blood, reduces the risk for cancer, increases energy, helps in eliminating odours (as a natural deodorant), and helps in boosting the immune system.”
People have used chlorophyll as a health supplement for many years.
A variety of medical studies have suggested that it may be helpful for skin conditions, body odours, and fighting certain kinds of cancer.
