Chlorella is a single-celled algae that contains magnesium, carotenoids, and chlorophyll. Lemons contain vast amounts of vitamin C, as well as B vitamins, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium. Both of these supplements contain nutrients that can be beneficial to the health of the body. Reported benefits of supplementing with chlorella and lemon include better digestion, stronger immune function, and the ability to detox the body.
Better Digestion
Chlorella can aid in digestion because it can reportedly stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria that are essential to intestinal health and digestion. Lemons may help to heal many indigestion problems, from heartburn to hiccups, when mixed with hot water. Lemon juice contains natural digestive enzymes, and regular consumption of lemon may help in eliminating waste more efficiently. According to an article on Health.Learninginfo.org, lemon juice acts as a tonic for the liver to help stimulate bile production, which can help aid in digestion.
Improved Immune Function
Chlorella is said to enhance the immune system by providing critical nutrients to the body such as magnesium, carotenoids and chlorophyll. Chlorella's proponents also claim that it helps to bring oxygen to the cells in the body, which may enhance immune response. According to an article on cancer.org, chlorella does contain vitamin C and carotenoids, which are antioxidants that can help the body fight off free radicals that can cause cell damage.
Lemons can help to improve immune function because they are packed with vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that can help fight off free radicals. Lemons have been used for centuries in home preparations for the common cold and sore throat.
Detoxifying
Chlorella is said to be able to help detox the body of heavy metals, biotoxins, xenobiotics, and food preservatives. Biotoxins include lyme disease, tetanus toxin, tuberculosis and others. Xenobiotics are man-made environmental toxins such as insecticides, PCBs and dioxin. Toxins in food preservatives include food colorings, aspartame, parabens and more. Chlorella reportedly binds to toxins and heavy metals in the body and helps to push them out through the colon. According to Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt and the Klinghardt protocol for removing neurotoxins from the body, sporopollein, a compound found in chlorella, is more effective in binding neurotoxins and toxic metals than any other natural substance.
Lemons may also have a detoxing effect on the body. Lemons are claimed to be natural cleansers for the liver, intestines and colon. Since 80 percent of the human immune system lives in the gut, intestinal health is very important to overall health.
