Algae, a miracle health food provided by Mother Nature, and Catharine Arnston, Founder and CEO of the Naughty Nutritionist Inc. agrees.
According to NASA, World Bank, and the United Nations algae is the most nutritionally dense food in the world. It has 3 times more protein than steak, 50 times more iron than spinach, 4 times more chlorophyll than wheatgrass, all electrolytes, most B vitamins, Omega 3, and over 40 other nutrients.
“The essential fatty acids in spirulina or algae is GLA and is officially an Omega 6 and it seems to behave as an Omega 3 due to all of the magnesium, potassium, and zinc,” Arnston explains. “It lowers people’s blood pressure, particularly within five days of taking the Energybits tablets my company offers.”
Spirulina helps diabetics because of the high protein concentration, which balances blood sugar, as well as other healthy alternatives such as more physical energy, preventing colds, strengthening the immune system, stopping hunger, ending fatigue, and eliminating brain fog.
In fact, studies show that algae can cure or heal just about everything, and that a person could live on it almost indefinitely. Its protein and nutritional composition is almost identical to mother’s milk except it has the added benefit of chlorophyll, a great cleanser and almost identical in composition to human blood except for one atom.
“Every single person in the world, newborns, children, teens, young adults, and grandparents benefit from algae, even pets,” Arnstons says. “In Japan, when a newborn can’t drink mother’s milk, they give the baby spirulina because it’s the only thing that keeps them alive. If they feed them anything else, they die”
Arnston adds that the United Nations, the World Bank, and other World Authorities have agreed that the answer to world hunger is algae. In fact, the UN recently established a special division to research algae growth in order to donate algae to hardship areas around the world and even set up algae ponds to help feed the poor nations of the world.
While most folks might still think of algae as yucky pond scum, Arnston says that’s not so. “It’s been here for 2.5 billion years and Americans are in for a big surprise when they learn that for the last 50 years, millions around the world have relied on algae for their health, vitality, and energy because algae has the highest concentration of protein in the entire world.”
