Does Chlorella Have Side Effects?

February 22, 2012

ChlorellaMany people have heard about the tremendous health benefits that come with some of the great algae products like Spirulina and Chlorella, but concerns about side effects don’t seem to be covered all that often. Of course, there are many, many health benefits to Chlorella like the chlorophyll and fiber for cleansing, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and even RNA/DNA for cell repair, but some people may have concerns about these healthy nutrients.

Some of the main concerns are actually based on some of the main benefits… cleansing. Yeah, it’s great to have a cleanse and detoxification every so often, but it’s really not that pleasant while you’re going through it. The chlorophyll and fiber are the same nutrients you’ll find in most any green food, but the Chlorella is a very concentrated source of it so it does make for looser stools and occasionally diarrhea for those who have very little green foods in their diets. It can be rather uncomfortable when you’re cleansing from a product like this, but it thankfully tends to pass within a couple days or so.

Not Your Everyday Veggies: Sunchokes

February 22, 2012

Daily Health Tips update for February 22:

Last but not least, if you like potatoes, try sunchokes! Also known as Jerusalem artichokes, their flavor is similar to jicama or water chestnuts. Rich in iron, sunchokes also contain inulin, the soluble fiber that helps support digestive health. Sunchokes can be eaten raw (their skins are edible, too), or try them sautéed in olive oil and tossed with pesto.

Why I Love Swanson Health Products

February 21, 2012

I am only 25 and generally healthy, but the past couple of years I have struggled with some unforseeable health concerns. I was having a difficult time knowing where to buy my vitamins/supplements. My chiropractor recommended a specific brand, and I liked them, but they were a little pricey. I had bought a few things from Swanson in the past, so I decided to compare what I had been taking with them. The quality was just as good and for about a third of the price! Couldn't be any better than that! My husband and I are both very happy to have found Swanson, and so is our budget. :)
