Marine Phytoplankton

The great grandmother SUPERFOOD of them all!

• Contains every known mineral, everything that’s needed to support life!
• All essential fatty acids
• All amino acids – a complete protein!
• Phytoplankton is 100 percent bioavailable to the human body; when you eat it, not a single part of it is wasted. Even the healthiest foods contain less than 50 percent absorbable and available nutrition).

Spirulina

• Rich plant-based complete protein (60-63%, 3-4 times higher than fish or beef) which is 95% digestible as it has no cellular wall.
• Rich in B vitamins, however studies have shown it’s vitamin B12 content does not increase B12 in the body
• Start with one tsp a day, increase to 2 tbs. Since it is a whole food, it is safe to eat every day.

INTERESTING FACT:

• As a digestible protein, given to malnourished children, spirulina is more effective than milk powders because milk’s lactic acid can be difficult to absorb

Algae

• Rich in Essential Fatty Acids – Algae is the reason why fish have these fatty acids… skip the middle man.
• Boosts the immune system
• Improves digestion
• Reduce Fatigue
• Detoxifies the body
• Reduce inflammation
• Complete sources of plant-based protein

Seaweed and Algae

• An ancient super food
• It is their job to uptake radiation and dispose of it through their biological processes.
• Our ancestor’s secret to health and longevity – perfect for over 2000 years.

Seaweed and Algae

• Health benefits of Seaweed and Algae

• Healthy hearing – Ears
• Improved memory – Brain
• Clear skin – Skin
• Good eyesight – Eyes
• Dental health – Teeth
• Healthy thyroid function – Throat
• Improved immune system…. and much more

• What is the difference?

• Nori (just one type of seaweed) includes almost all the mineral elements

• Seaweed are the plants that inhabit the sea and seaweed is a type of algae.
• Algae inhabits ANY water eco system.

• contains more vitamins than fruits and vegetables
• abundant in dietary fiber

Seaweed

• Almost all raw or sun dried seaweed contains:

• High protein content: from 20% in green algae to 95% in spirulina
• High mineral content, especially: iodine, calcium, iron, magnesium
• More vitamin C than oranges
• Anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory properties
• Large proportion of natural, organic iodine aiding in maintaining a healthy thyroid function (not to be compared with the toxic substitute added to table salt)
• One of the richest plant sources of calcium
• Polysaccharides which increase the amount of feel-good chemicals in the brain, improves liver function, stabilizes blood sugar
• Sustainably harvested without destroying the ecosystem in which they live

Quote of the Day…

“Power packed with nutrients, sea vegetables help remove heavy metals, detoxify the body of radioactive iodine, provide numerous trace minerals, regulate immunity, and decrease the risk of cancer. Seaweeds benefit the entire body, and are especially excellent for the thyroid, immune system, adrenals, and hormone function.”

Radiation in our Oceans?

Radiation in our food?

• The world’s oceans is not as clean and pristine as they once were. Over-fishing contributes to declining fish populations and radiation levels threaten life in the sea. By eating certain foods, you can help balance levels of radiation in your system. The following foods have been reported to diminish radiation levels when consumed.

• Foods with naturally occuring iodine – seaweeds
• Foods high in chlorophyll – dark leafy greens, chlorella, spirulina
• Adaptogenic and cleansing herbs - maca, ginseng, ashwagandha, goji berry, licorice root, tulsi (holy basil)
• Zeolites and Fulvic Acid
• Miso and unprocessed raw salts
• Cultured Foods - sauerkraut, kombucha
• Coconut oil, water and meat
• MSM and sulfur  
• High antioxidant fruits
• Meditate - Food for the Mind

CHLORELLA

• This single-celled green algae is another high source of plant-based protein
• Stores of antioxidants and high in Vitamin A and D
• Highest concentration of chlorophyll known to humans
• Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF)

• Chlorella quadruples itself every twenty hours, growing faster than any food crop known.
• Increases the rate of rebuilding and healing in tissues
• Multiplies lactobacillus (beneficial bacteria) in the bowel

• Boosts the immune system
• Antioxidant – fights free radical damage

Radiation In our Food?

David Wolfe on Seaweeds and Algae

• In the early 1950’s Chlorella was seen as a solution to the hunger crisis in impoverished countries providing a high quality, low cost food source

Blue-Green Algae or AFA

• Blue-Green Algae aka. Cyanobacteria contains PEA – the love molecule, creating feelings of euphoria (cacao also contains PEA)
• Grows in fresh water
• Wildly harvested whereas Spirulina is grown in a controlled environment
• Lowers stress
• Increases concentration

• INTERESTING FACT:
• Grown only in Klamath Lake in Oregon, E3Live are the only harvesters of this primordial blue-green algae. This lake is over 7700 years old and free from contaminants such as adverse bacteria, heavy metals and pesticides, herbicides and fungicides.
