Is Spirulina a food that satisfies the body’s needs?


Spirulina is a food eaten thousands of years ago, and people in Africa consume Spirulina from lakes. This alga is so nutritious that it could end the world’s hunger.

Strangely, people, who are in power choose different options, such as synthetic food or bugs that are good for birds but not for humans.

What would you choose if you did not have more options, such as taking Spirulina or eating worms and bugs?

Of course, there is a saying that tastes are different, and you can choose what to eat, but people never ate bugs in Western countries for hundreds of years.

Besides, bugs have chitin that can hurt stomach and it does not assimilate well.

I guess that Spirulina would take a first place and nobody would look back at the bugs.

Celebrities show for us that bugs are okay but I wonder how many of them have cockroaches for breakfast?

Can Spirulina be a savior at times when food is scarce?


Yes, Spirulina can help us to survive and be a healthy food source because of its nutritional content. Toru Matsui, an 85-year-old philosopher, lived on Spirulina and chlorella for 15 years.

Why am I so sure? Previously I took an interest in this alga because of learning about its benefits. I searched for books and found Christopher Hills, who was called the father of Spirulina.

He cultivated Spirulina and worked together with scientists from Japan. Japanese use Spirulina in all areas of life.

They use alga in cosmetics, as food, as treatment, and as a supplement for animals.

Christopher Hills mentioned in his book one philosopher who lived on Spirulina and Chlorella for 15 years.

The description below picture tells, that

Prof.Hiroshi Nakamura and Toru Matsui, an 85-year-old philosopher who has lived on Chlorella and Spirulina algae for 15 years. Spirulina contains enough vitamin C for living; all other vitamins in Spirulina are in excess of human needs. They are eating algae and getting younger.

Why do people do not pay attention to Spirulina?


I guess that there is a simple answer. People are spoiled and search for moment leisures that satisfy the senses, not the soul.

Plenty of us uses food, not for nourishment but as a tool to forget problems and, for a moment, feel that we are alive, happy, and safe. It is a self fooling, but nobody analyzes it.

Does it work for us? I do not think so because of seeing so many obese and depressed people.

Of course, we do not need to choose to eat only algae, but it would be beneficial to think about that is best for our bodies.

What is Spirulina?

Wrapping up


Spirulina can provide us with all the needed nutrients, and we can be in great shape mentally and physically. We do not stuff ourselves with chemicals as we do with processed food.

Organic Spirulina contains proteins, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and chlorophyll that nourishes and replenishes our bodies.

We can use Spirulina at times of need, such as food shortages or something that happens with food distribution.

What is funny is that Christopher Hills advises using Spirulina as an emergency fund at difficult times and he us right.

If there is no food, you will not eat your gold. Spirulina can save your life. Knowing that somebody, in this case, Toru Matsui lived on algae for 15 years shows Spirulina in a perfect light.

Do you use Spirulina as food and for how long? It would be great to hear from you.
