Chlorophyll Health Benefits

In a previous series on detox, chlorophyll was mentioned as a powerhouse supplement to cleanse, purify and strengthen the body.  Chlorophyll is considered a powerful plant food source with numerous health benefits.  In short, it enables the body to rid itself of bacterial growth that can cause body odor and bad breath.  It is believed to boost the immune system and promote a healthy digestive tract. And with flu (AND holiday) season just around the corner, there’s no time like the present to add this natural powerhouse to your daily supplement arsenal.   And although very gentle, it is one power-packed health supplement!

Chlorophyll is often included in breath mints, gums and mouthwashes because of its breath freshening properties.  Because of the potential health risks associated with using anti-perspirants (AP), I have wanted to give up my AP habit and try a safer solution, like Dr. Hauschka’s for years.  But living in Florida AND not wearing AP results in profuse sweating AND stinkies, which have created “barriers to entry”, so to speak!

I can attest to the fact that daily supplemention with high quality chlorophyll reduces body odor in my 2 dogs (I use Sweet Kiss) who spend hours playing in the dirt everyday!  So as we head into fall and Florida temperatures start dropping into the 80’s (bbbrrrrrrrr!), it may be high time for me to toss my AP to the curb and add some chlorophyll to my daily supplement arsenal!  After all, why should the doggies be the only ones smelling fresh sans anti-perspirant?!
