As important as skincare is, I believe that true skin health comes from the inside. In order to have beautiful skin, you take care of your body, which means eating a variety of clean foods, working out, and getting enough sleep. Having this mentality means that I am always scoping out cool new superfoods or recipes that claim to be amazing for both my skin and health. My latest obsession?
Chlorophyll Drinks.
Chlorophyll is what gives green vegetables their colour. This plant pigment is absolutely amazing; it both heals and detoxes your body. It helps in normal blood clotting, and can also prevent and aid in the healing of diseases such as cancer, fibromyalgia and arthritis. It is a potent anti-inflammatory, and it also helps to deodorize your body (SO cool). Honestly, whenever I drink it at night, the next morning I wake up and my breath is so much noticeably fresher.
It also contains so many properties that make it amazing for your skin. It's chockfull of antioxidants, for one. It also promotes detoxification, which is amazing for your body, your weight and also clears your skin. It's highly alkalizing, and also balances your hormones. It truly does it all.
The way I take chlorophyll is I mix one tablespoon of liquid chlorophyll with a full glass of water and have it in the morning before anything else enters my body. On days when I really want to detox, I'll have it at night as well before bed. You can also mix it into smoothies if having it with water is too unbearable, although I've found that the state has really grown on me!
My skin has improved so much by regularly taking chlorophyll. I highly recommend trying it out if you haven't already!
