Last month we went over the amazing health benefits of wheatgrass. One of the reasons wheatgrass juice is so great is because it consists of 70 percent chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a unique substance found in all plant life. It is the pigment that gives plants their rich, green colour.

Chlorophyll is usually found as a supplement form in liquid, and can be added to drinking water. It is often flavoured with spearmint and is very refreshing when mixed with water.

The following are some of the many benefits of Chlorophyll:

-    Makes the body more alkaline.

-    Builds a high red blood cell count.

-    Provides iron to organs.

-    Cleans and deodorizes bowel tissues.

-    Helps purify the liver

.-    Eliminates body odour and bad breath.

-    Reduces pain cause by inflammation.

We could all add some more green to our day, so maybe next time give chlorophyll a try. It can also be found in the variety of green drinks and powders that are available too.
