Healthy Tip of the Day: Go eat some dirt
May 21st, 2010
I have watched my husband choke this stuff down for over a year now without any real interest except for some mild satisfaction I felt watching him suffer through his self-inflicted morning torture routine. Who would intentionally want to start their day gagging down this green, gritty looking concoction? Well, as it turns out, it’s a great way to start every day. Spirulina looks like dirt but it is actually a blue-green fresh water algae and is one of nature’s oldest superfoods. It contains an incredible variety of vitamins, minerals and nutrients with everything from vitamin B to magnesium. It’s also a great source of protein, antioxidants and essential fatty acids.
If you are tired or mentally drained, taking spirulina can make a big difference, quickly. Unlike caffeine, it is helping your body by providing nutrients not just acting like a drug to drain your adrenals. So, I have got to give the hubs credit for introducing me to this supplement although I take it in capsule form. Much easier to handle in the early morning hours.
