Eat your way to a spring energy boost


Eat your way to a spring energy boost

As we say goodbye to the winter months which are notoriously associated with various health problems and ailments, Spring offers the perfect opportunity to look at ways to improve your overall wellbeing and ‘spring clean’ your system.

Nutrition is essential for good health, and a lack of energy is often a sign that you are deficient in certain nutrients, including vitamins B12, B6, folic acid and iron. Vitamin B12 is particularly important for the changing seasons, as it contributes to a normal energy yielding metabolism, and helps to reduce tiredness and fatigue. A host of celebrities have already caught onto its benefits; both Madonna and Cheryl Cole have been known to give extra attention to this nutrient to keep them on top form throughout gruelling tour schedules.[i]

Whilst you may not be battling such a gruelling timetable, for anyone wanting to escape the winter energy slump, a nutrient rich diet is a great place to start. Sun Chlorella ‘A’ is a natural whole food which contains an amazing quantity and variety of nutrients. In terms of vitamin B12 content alone, a daily dose of Sun Chlorella ‘A’ contains more vitamin B12 than a 32oz steak, and iron content equivalent to nine cups of spinach (270g). Even supermodels rely on the natural wholefood for an instant boost, with Rosie Huntington Whiteley claims that green juice containing chlorella is “a great way to start the day.[ii]

Amongst its health benefits, Sun Chlorella ‘A’ acts as an ‘intestinal broom’, cleansing the bowel by clinging on to toxins like mercury, lead or pesticides in your intestines and then eliminating them as waste. Waste material in the colon impairs our ability to absorb vitamins and minerals which can affect prevent the immune system from working at its optimum level.  This cleansing of toxins can also help with your energy levels!

Chlorella is…
Chlorella is a microscopic freshwater single-celled green algae dating back from approximately 700 million years ago. It has tough outer cell walls and the ability to reproduce itself at an astonishing rate: from four cells on day one to one billion cells on day 15 in cultivation. This special component is called the Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF) and in supplementation, encourages the growth as well as repair of cells and tissues in the body. This process is slowed down by aging but chlorella is believed to help re-stimulate growth.

Sun Chlorella News Issue No.22 Spring 2013


 
Greetings all!

I wanted to start off this edition of the newsletter to look at one story which has been everywhere in the news of late. The recent scandal following the discovery of horsemeat in cheap, ready-to-eat dishes labelled as beef has really focused the nation on processed foods and made us ask "what’s in our products?!".
Aside from this recent issue, one of the main problems with processed food is that when they are "processed" – which could be to enhance food flavour or increase shelf life - the result is that many healthy nutrients are removed because of this process – and additives such

as fats and sugars are often added as well as artificial chemicals. All this recent talk around horsemeat is another reminder for us all: go "whole food"! See ‘Hot whole food swaps’ for suggestions. This of course includes Sun Chlorella ‘A’ – nature’s version of a multi-vitamin, containing no added ingredients – it’s just fresh-water algae and natural soya protein!

All the best!

The Daily Mail recently reported that supermodel Rosie Huntington- Whiteley is a chlorella fan, and uses the superfood as an ingredient in delicious green juice as “a great way to start the day!”


Smoothie update
We also found out Rosie’s secret recipe! To make a morning superfood juice just like Rosie’s, blend the following ingredients with NEW Sun Chlorella    ® ‘A’ Granules: perfect for smoothie making, one sachet contains the equivalent nutrients of 15 Sun Chlorella® ‘A’ tablets.
• 600ml mineral water (still)
• 1/2 chopped cucumber (skin & pips included)
• 1/4 peeled avocado
• 1 chopped celery stick
• Juice of 1/2 lemon or lime
• 1/4 teaspoon unrefined salt
• Small double handful (60-80mg) of mixed green leaves such as spinach or kale
• 1 sachet of NEW Sun Chlorella ® ‘A’ Granules or 15 crushed tablets



Did you know that you can eat your way to better energy? Vitamin B12, which is found in meat, eggs, dairy products and Sun Chlorella ‘A’, is not only linked to boosting energy  via helping red blood cell production - but is also related to the immune system and keeping the nervous system (brain, nerves and spinal cord) healthy.  
 
  
 
 
There’s been much confusion around detox diets recently.

The word "detox" means, quite literally, the removal of toxins from the body. Here are just a few common misconceptions.
 

MYTH: Detox = Fasting Contrary to popular belief, a detox shouldn’t mean starving yourself. Experts suggest eating little and often to combat cravings.

FACT: Curb your salt It’s true that salt is the enemy of the detox.  Salt impairs your body’s ability

Celeb alert!  Rosie is a fan of Chlorella too! "The Victoria's Secret Angel divulged another of her health secret weapons: a 'delicious green juice' which she described as 'a great way to start the day.' But what's behind this mysterious concoction? Along with other super healthy ingredients such as cucumber, kale and parsley, the Japanese wholefood Chlorella is added to the juice." Daily Mail

Sun Chlorella News Issue no. 21 Winter 2012

 Winter health wise

Greetings all!
The impending festive season brings with it the temptation of rich foods and enjoying an alcoholic drink or two! The British Liver Trust recommends alcohol in moderation and having at least 3 or 4 alcohol free days per week. With this in mind, there are some simple measures you can take for helping to minimise a hangover the following day if one has drunk too much the night before.
 
Most importantly is to hydrate by drinking plenty of water. In addition, Sun Chlorella ‘A’ has been shown to enhance the detoxification of the liver and the subsequent removal of alcohol from the body. In one study, Professor Fukui of Sapporo Medicinal University reported that even with a fairly large consumption of alcohol, hangovers can be prevented by up to 96% with chlorella.

So let us all remember to enjoy ourselves this winter but remember the old "everything in moderation" rule of thumb!
 

All the best!

The benefits Sun Chlorella ‘A’ were recently acknowledged in a recent issue of the high-profile weekly publication, HELLO! Magazine. The article referenced new research published in the Nutrition Journal which suggested that supplementing with chlorella may help boost the body’s ability to fight infection. Great timing to help boost winter immunity!


 




As winter’s dark days loom, the Department of Health advises everyone to top-up "sunshine vitamin" levels by taking a daily vitamin D supplement. Sun Chlorella ‘A’ contains 1,320 international units (IU) of vitamin D per daily supply, which significantly helps you reach daily requirements. Different to straight vitamin D supplements or multivitamin supplements, Sun Chlorella ‘A’ is a ‘whole food’ and free from synthetic ingredients, so it is believed to allow the body to maximise its health benefiting properties.

 
 






A hectic lifestyle, busy schedule of work deadlines, family commitments, gym visits and maintaining a social life; can all result in making hasty food choices. Support a healthy and varied diet with new Sun Chlorella ‘A’ Granules. Taking them is as easy as DRINK SPINKLE COOK and they come in convenient 3g sachets that are perfect for your purse, gym bag or briefcase.
