algae for lunch comes from the sea. And the sea provides us with the best food
ever: algae.
Here are four types
of algae that are an excellent source of nutrition, Klamath Lake blue-green algae,
spirulina,
chlorella and red marine algae.
Algae supplements provide the body with
protein, carbohydrates,
carotenoids, amino acids, vitamins and trace minerals. It''s especially
beneficial for vegetarians or individuals suffering from malnutrition.
Klamath Lake blue-green algae comes from
the fresh-water Klamath Lake in Oregon
and is a rich source of vitamin B12 and all 22 amino acids.
Spirulina, another fresh-water blue-green algae, is about
65-71% protein and contains 8 essential amino acids and an abundant amount of
omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid.
Chlorella is close in comparison to spirulina; it has
less protein, but contains twice as much nucleic acid and chlorophyll.
Red marine algae is a rich source of vitamins,
minerals, proteins, complex carbohydrates, enzymes, essential fatty acids,
fiber and trace elements.
Because
Algae stimulates the immune system, increases white blood cell count and
promotes the growth of healthy colonic flora, algae supplements are ideal for
improving overall health. Algae is also beneficial for treating anemia,
infections, fatigue, obesity and toxicity.
You can buy dehydrated algae in supermarkets or asian stores.
Have fun
and enjoy a healthy meal!
