What are superfoods and green foods?

Superfoods are natural foods rich in important nutrients that have a positive effect on health. They contain high levels of beneficial substances that support immunity and overall vitality.

These include:

• Vitamins
• Minerals
• Antioxidant
• enzymes

Green foods are a specific group of superfoods, including algae such as chlorella and spirulina, or young sprouts of cereals such as green barley. These foods are unique in their high chlorophyll content, which contributes to detoxification of the body. 

Superfoods in a nutshell

Superfoods include not only green foods, but also many other natural ingredients. For example, berries such as acai, goji or acerola are known for their high concentration of antioxidants. Seeds and nuts, including chia, flax and hemp seeds, enrich the diet with healthy fats and proteins.

Energy and immunity are naturally boosted by roots and herbs such as turmeric, maca or ginseng, and fermented foods (kombucha, kimchi) are also an important group that benefit digestion and gut flora.

However, green foods (chlorella, spirulina and green barley) offer a diverse combination of nutrients and many health benefits.

Chlorella: the key to natural cleansing

Chlorella is a freshwater algae high in chlorophyll, protein, iron and B vitamins. It is particularly sought after for its detoxifying properties and its ability to bind heavy metals.

Effects and benefits

• Detoxification - facilitates the excretion of heavy metals and toxins from the body, thus naturally supporting the cleansing of the body
• Supports digestion - contains fibre beneficial for the intestinal microflora
• More energy and vitality - rich iron content helps reduce fatigue
• Boosting immunity - studies show that the amount of antioxidants contributes to better immunity

Possible side effects

In more sensitive individuals, chlorella may cause bloating, indigestion or mild nausea at the beginning of use. To reduce these reactions, it is recommended to start with a smaller dose and gradually increase it.

 

Spirulina: the basis for strong immunity

Spirulina is a blue-green algae with an exceptionally high protein content of up to 60% by weight. In comparison, meat usually contains only around 20-25% protein.

In addition, it is an important source of iron and thanks to its nutritional composition, it has gained popularity especially among vegetarians and vegans as a natural source of amino acids.

Effects and benefits

• Stronger immunity and vitality - studies suggest that high levels of antioxidants may protect cells from oxidative stress
• Natural source of energy - iron and B vitamins support red blood cell production and overall vitality
• Detoxifying abilities - helps the body get rid of harmful toxins
• Cholesterol regulation - studies suggest it may have a positive effect on blood fat levels
• Anti-inflammatory - promotes the regeneration of the body and can alleviate the symptoms of allergies

Possible side effects

For more sensitive people, spirulina may cause mild digestive discomfort or an allergic reaction.

 

Green barley: the natural elixir of vitality

Green barley is young barley grass harvested before it forms ears. It contains a wide range of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and chlorophyll.

Due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, it is often consumed in powder or juice form as a dietary supplement to promote detoxification and overall health.

Effects and benefits

• Detoxification and pH balance - neutralizes the body's acidity
• Improves digestion - contains enzymes and fiber that contribute to the health of the intestinal microflora
• Natural body boost - magnesium, potassium and other minerals help maintain vitality
• Regeneration of the body - can be beneficial for physical and mental fatigue

Possible side effects

Like other green foods, green barley may cause mild indigestion, fatigue or headaches at the beginning of use.

The side effects of green foods are mostly mild and temporary. With a gradual increase in dose, they usually go away on their own.
