Diet Like a Plant


Everyday we go through life eating fruits and vegetables, but who knew that living like a plant can help us with fat loss? What exactly does living like a plant mean? And how can this help with fat loss? In a word: Chlorophyll.

Our body's hemoglobin consists of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen. These four elements are organized around a single element of iron. Chlorophyll has the same elements, but is organized around the element magnesium. Chlorophyll has the power to regenerate our bodies at the molecular and cellular level. It is known to help cleanse the body, fight off infections, heal wounds, and promote the health of the circulatory, digestive, and immune systems. Chlorophyll consumption increases the number of red blood cells and increases oxygen used by the body.

In terms of losing weight, chlorophyll helps your body get back to peak efficiency. When we're young, our body's metabolism is high at all times. It kills toxins and burns up fat because our energy levels are higher when we're younger. As we get older, our energy decreases because our metabolism slows down, therefore our toxins increase in our bodies. That's when weight gain begins to occur. Chlorophyll helps detoxify the body so the body can rejuvenate and speed up the metabolism again, peaking energy levels like when we were kids.

You can find chlorophyll in any health food or supplement shop. If you are looking for it in foods, wheat grass and barley grass are the two organic foods that contain it in high doses.
