Health: Sun, Sea, Sand and Seaweed… and a health secret closer to home
August 4, 2009
For those looking for some sunshine in their lives, Sun Chlorella ‘A’, the single most popular green wholefood supplement taken in Japan, is the answer. Grown in natural sunlight, it is rich in the natural nutrient Vitamin D and also contains vitamin K, commonly known to initiate the process of healing and help the body absorb calcium.
Sun Chlorella contains a special component called the Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF) which encourages growth and repair of cells and tissues in our bodies, stimulating the growth of good bacteria and helping to eliminate toxins. As part of Chlorella’s great detoxification process, it is reported that hangovers can be prevented by up to 96% if 4-5g of chlorella is taken before drinking – perfect to keep you feeling great for another day on the beach.
With all the benefits it’s important not to forget to be safe when spending time in the sun. Always remember to wear an SPF sunscreen, to protect your precious skin from any harmful rays.
Sea – liquid health for skin
Made up of 75% water, with a salty water solution contained in our cells, blood and tissues it’s no wonder humans are at one with water. But apart from the obvious soothing and relaxing properties of floating in the sea when on holiday, there are other health benefits.
Research has shown that the sound of waves alters wave patterns in the brain which lull you into a deeply relaxed state, whilst floating in water can actually make us more alert. Laying horizontally on water means blood is diverted around from our lower limbs and pumped towards our abdominal region – the part of the body near the heart. Pumping fresh blood around the body like this brings more oxygen to our brain. Combine this with the sea air, which is charged with negative ions and accelerates our ability to absorb oxygen, and being by the seaside is an energising experience.
Sea water contains 90 natural minerals of which a proportion can be effective for some skin conditions such as psoriasis and dermatitis. Salt and potassium, both found in seawater, are excellent healers, with research showing they seal damaged skin and allow it to mend.
