Why Chlorophyll is the BOMB

 Chlorophyll is EXTREMELY alkalizing, oxygenating, and is exactly identical to human blood--except Chlorophyll has magnesium and blood has iron. (Though the magnesium is converted to iron in the body). Chlorophyll stops bacterial, yeast & fungi growth in the digestive tract; deodorizes body odor & bad breath; removes drug deposits and counteracts all toxins; de-activates many carcinogens; halts tooth decay and gum infection (when used as a tooth powder); counteracts inflammation; builds blood; renews tissue; counteracts radiation; promotes healthful intestinal flora; improves liver function; activates enzymes to produce vitamins E, A, & K; detoxifies heavy metals; & improves brain function
 If you eat or drink anything acidic (meat, dairy, coffee, alcohol, sugar, processed food) on a daily basis, chlorophyll is your best ally to balance the acidity, which is the breeding ground for dis-ease. It is almost a certainty that you will experience dis-ease or infection or inflammation or pain with acidic, processed, & cooked foods. This is why it is crucial to have daily doses of chlorophyll to lower the acidity of these foods by raising the alkalinity.
Whether you eat a green salad, juice some greens, add greens or a green powder to your smoothies, take liquid shots, or take capsules, find a way to have daily intake of chlorophyll.
 Powerful sources of chlorophyll: spirulina, wheat grass, chlorella, blue-green algae, green sprouts, sea vegetables, DARK leafy greens, green vegetables, & herbs.
The darker the better!!

Did you know??
Wheatgrass juice is 70% chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is the first product of light and contains more light energy than any other element. Chlorophyll is the basis of all plant life, so when you drink chlorophyll, you drink liquid sunshine!

Cottage Cheese

1/2 C Sunflower Seeds
1/4 C Water
1/2 Lemon (juiced)
1 1/2 Tbsp Tamari (or Braggs Amino Acids)
Dash of sea salt
(optional add in--garlic and/or onion)

Directions:
Chop coarsely in food processor or blender so that it resembles cottage cheese. :) Eat in a bell pepper, on a salad, or plain. ♥

WATER

A gallon a day keeps the doctor away!!
(Just not all at once.... ;))

Drinking at least one glass of water first thing in the morning does the following:
--It oxygenates and alkalizes the body (which makes sense because water is mainly oxygen)
--Wakes up the body and rejuvenates the organs by flushing them out and working out the toxins that have been sitting around all night
--Jump starts the metabolism (thereby promoting weight loss)
--Curbs coffee, sugar and soda cravings
--Hydrates and cleanses
--Keeps skin fresh, dewy and vital

Try this tomorrow morning: Right after you wake up, 1) use the restroom and 2) drink a glass of water immediately after. Wait about 1/2 an hour, or preferably until after you need to use the restroom again, until you eat breakfast or ingest anything else. During that 1/2 an hour meditate, go for a walk, work out, do yoga, breathe deeply, write in your journal, paint... etc. Just express yourself and move in some way.
♥ Feel the difference and vitality of your body from that one change. :) Then decide whether or not to make it a daily habit.
