While it may be hard to believe that eating these blue-green algae could possibly be beneficial, spirulina is actually one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet. Spirulina is 60% protein (that's more than two times the protein found in red meat), contains 18 amino acids, (including all essential amino acids), and 10 of the 12 non-essential amino acids. It's also a great source of many other essential vitamins and minerals including copper, iron, manganese, potassium, and B vitamins, and iodine.
Another astounding fact about Spirulina - it has the potential to end world hunger. According to economist Urs Heierli, Ph.D., just 1 gram of spirulina per day can correct malnutrition in a small child within a few weeks. This idea is also supported by the United Nation.
If you’re still wondering if you should add spirulina to your diet, here are 4 ways it can help improve your overall health:
#1 — IT CAN BOOST YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM
Studies have shown that spirulina has the potential to significantly increase the production of infection-fighting cytokines and may help improve the overall immune function in adults. Adding spirulina to your diet is a great way to take proactive steps to help give your immune system an offensive advantage.
#2 — IT CONTAINS ANTI-INFLAMMATORY PROPERTIES
Spirulina is high in antioxidants, especially phycocyanin - the protein complex that gives spirulina its brilliant blue color. Studies have shown that phycocyanin scavenges and fight the free radicals that cause cell damage. Phycocyanin has also been recognized as one of the most promising natural molecules in terms of inhibiting inflammation and associated joint pain.
#3 — IT MAY HELP LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE
Most are well aware of the dangers associated with high blood pressure and its ability to wreak havoc on the body's systems, sometimes completely unnoticed. A study has shown that consuming small amounts of spirulina on a daily basis may help combat high blood pressure and improve specific functions of the heart.
#4 — IT MAY IMPROVE ENERGY & STAMINA LEVELS
While studies on this benefit are limited, some findings suggest regular consumption of spirulina may enhance endurance and increase exercise performance. Historically, Aztec messenger runners were known to take spirulina before starting their marathons as they believed it would help them improve their stamina and energy levels.
