Spirulina : Most Nutrient Dense Food On the Planet

The concentration of protein and vitamins in Spirulina has led many to classify it as the “most nutrient dense food on the planet.” Compared to other foods gram for gram, it lives up to this reputation and is a great source of:

• Protein: It is considered a complete source of high-quality protein and is often compared to eggs for the amount of protein per gram. The protein in Spirulina is highly usable and has a net protein utilization rate of between 50-61%

• Vitamin B1: Also called Thiamin, this vitamin is necessary for the digestion of fats and proteins. It is often taken for increased energy, eye health, brain function and for improving nerve functioning.

• Iron: Spirulina is a favorite food for vegetarians and vegans because it is one of the best plant sources of iron. Even for those who consume meat, it has a highly absorbable form of iron that is gentle on the digestive system.

• Calcium: Spirulina is also incredibly high in calcium with over 26 times the calcium in milk.

Spirulina is a great source of other nutrients including (according to Wikipedia): “It contains vitamins B-1(thiamine), B-2 (riboflavin), B-3(nicotinamide), B-6 (pyridoxine), B-9 (folic acid), vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin A and vitamin E. It is also a source of potassium, calcium, chromium, copper, iron, magnesium,  manganese, phosphorus,  selenium, sodium and zinc. Spirulina contains many pigments which may be beneficial and bioavailable”.

Important Note: Contrary to many claims, Spirulina is not a good source of Vitamin B12 for humans. While it does contain a form of B12, it is pseudovitamin B12 which is not absorbable or effective in humans according to studies.

has recommended the best way

and it involves hot water and one other ingredient.

He said: “Hot water

and honey is usually as good a remedy

as most over the counter cough medicines.”

if you can, chat your pharmacist

to talk about your symptoms

What if you’ve got a mucus cough?

Dr Thornber said:

There’s little evidence

to show chesty cough medicines work,

but your pharmacist

to chat about your symptoms

and they can also advise

on decongestant treatments to help.

is to drink lots of water

to loosen the mucus,

which makes it easier to cough up.

Also, use a humidifier

or inhale steam

from a bowl

to help clear the chest.

Painkillers

can also bring down a fever

and ease any associated headaches.
