Spirulina is a balanced food. Spirulina and energy are essential topics in modern life. Spirulina has most of the vitamins, proteins, amino acids, and enzymes for proper body functioning. We eat that to live. We do not live to eat. Many people forgot about it.
The stress, monotony, lack of joy, and vision for life take a toll on the people. It is easy to open the refrigerator and pick the ice cream or a few cookies before bed. Habits are developed fast and cannot be swiped under the bed if we want to change our lifestyle.
Spirulina, being a nutraceutical food, provides all the needed nutrients that give the body energy to perform metabolic processes without any additional effort.
Empty food
Sweets, soda, processed food such as canned products or granola bars, instant ramen, and bacon appeal to our taste buds. Unfortunately, we think that we do good for ourselves by eating significant amounts of food without nutrients.
Researcher Helke Ferrie wrote that medical researchers found that the refining process of sugar removes 93 percent of chromium, 89 percent of manganese, 98 percent of cobalt, 83 percent of copper, 98 percent of zinc, and 98 percent of magnesium -all essential to life.(Carolyn Dean,”Death by Modern Medicine” 261)
Everybody knows that soda contains sugar. Ten or eight spoons of sugar in the can of soda tastes good. Unfortunately, if our body lacks vital nutrients, we must refill it with fundamental and essential elements, not empty calories.
Why do we feel tired?
We do not feel satisfied after eating various processed foods with some salad and occasional fruit. Younger people can be okay because their bodies are not fully depleted. Adults can faster feel the consequences of unconscious eating. Obesity, tiredness, and skin problems start to bother us.
I guess that most of us know that we need to think about the food quality. We do not need something fancy; just an everyday diet and drinks full of vital nutrients would work fine for us.
What is about Spirulina?
Here, Spirulina comes into the picture. Spirulina is a balanced nutraceutical food. If we use Spirulina together with junk or processed food, we will get the required vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and proteins. Later on, we could get rid of eating habits that cost money but do not give us energy and vital nutrients.
I like Spirulina; if we consume this food, we will get nutrients directly. Spirulina contains pigments ready to work. These nutrients were being broken down already. They are already made and willing to work for our bodies.
Spirulina and energy
Usually, when we eat, food is processed in the digestive system. The food is broken down into amino acids. These amino acids are reformed into new proteins in the body.
Standard food, when eaten, breaks down to amino acids, and after this process, new proteins form in the body. With the consumption of Spirulina, we save energy needed for breaking down food particles.
In giving Spirulina, however, to physical laborers, we have found its vegetable proteins to give more energy and to last longer than meat proteins do, so what workers have exclaimed about the difference and about how much more work they can do and how much more energy they have on Spirulina diet.(Dr. Christopher Hills,” The Joy of Slimming” 149)
Did you use Spirulina, or do you use it now? I would be glad to hear from you.

Hi Nemira, I studied at school about Spirulina and I can confirm what you said. It is widely used in diets and weight loss problems because it makes you feel like you’re not hungry anymore. And once you feel this, you will also feel that you have a lot of energy left. So that’s the mechanism behind it, I think
I haven’t tried Spirulina before, but I think it would be a good supplement to use. It doesn’t have any serious side effects, does it?
Nemira says
Hello, Ashley. Spirulina does not have any side effects as I know. Of course, if you would take 2 pounds of Spirulina, you would feel miserable and would meet angels in heaven. I know that it is a bad joke, but everything what is consumed over limits can be dangerous. The water can do harm if we constantly drink it without listening our bodies. According to Christopher Hills, author of The Secrets of Spirulina, ” the normaly daily dosage of Spirulina is only 4gm.(from 2 to 8 500gm. tablets). This indicates how free of toxicity Spirulina products are.”( Christopher Hills, The Secrets of Spirulina, 129)
