Dear steemit friends !

You have probably hearted this name "SPIRULINA" !

It's a microorganism called blue algae. It belongs to the class of cyanophyceae, a primitive form of life. This is a mix of algae and bacteria and grows in both salty, fresh and alkaline water. The blue-green deep rich color of spirulina is caused by the presence of a specific pigment called phycocyanin.

After researching about this superfood, I will give you 5 reasons to consume spirulina every day!

1- An excellent protein source

Spirulina contains 50%-70% protein by weight and contains all of the essential amino acids.
Some serious studies claim that just two tablespoons are sufficient to substitute protein in a meal.

A little tip: Spirulina is not cheap, so you can add other protein-based sources like whole grains, quinoa, legumes, and nuts.

2- Rich in Vitamins and Minerals

It's a good source of K vitamin, potassium, and pantothenic acid (B5), as well as thiamin (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), copper, iron, and manganese.

It's a good source of B vitamin, but what makes spirulina exceptional is the B12 vitamin found in it.

B12 is important for vision, anti-depression and mental abilities in general.

3- Fights Allergies

Millions of people are having problems and irritations from allergies to mites, pet dander, pollen...

Some studies suggest that spirulina stops the release of histamine, which is responsible for symptoms of allergic rhinitis: stuffy nose, watery eyes, itchy throat, sneezing, nasal congestion, nasal itching, and nasal discharge.

4- Cholesterol regulator

Cholesterol can be regulated with a balanced diet and regular exercise.
Spirulina can low bad cholesterol to prevent a heart attack or stroke.
It's better than taking medications with side effects.

5- boosts Immunity

Spirulina, with its potent nutrients, can boost your immune system function and prevent the development of viral infections. Phycocyanin (the bright blue antioxidant) increases the number of white blood cells in the body and make him strong.

Antibodies protect your body from foreign invaders and bacteria, and you are healthy all the year !!!

Conclusion

If you want to boost your health every day, spirulina is your new best friend ^^.
As I am intolerant to lactose, gluten and glucose, I have to consume superfoods every day to stay fit and train. I added spirulina powder in my smoothies and it's perfect...

So start to use spirulina in your life and see how much better you feel!
