Chlorophyll

Chlorophyll, usually found in cyanobacteria and the chloroplasts of algae and plants, is an extremely important biomolecule, critical in photosynthesis, which allows plants to absorb energy from light. Chlorophyll absorbs light most strongly in the blue portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, followed by the red portion.

Chlorophyll is used in the food industry as a natural colorant, and in Europe is given the E-number E140. A number of common food products are colored green by this compound, and it also give the green color to the sugar, alcoholic drink, and absinthe.

Hemoglobin is the iron-containing substance that provides red blood cells their red pigment and transports oxygen to the body tissues. In fact, we may not realize that our blood is composed of 75% of hemoglobin. If the central atom of blood is iron, how chlorophyll helps in the formation of red blood cells? As we digested green food, the magnesium helps in rebuilding and replenishing the red blood cells which is responsible for boosting our energy.

Bad breath is caused by oral bacteria that reside in a person’s mouth and it excretes odiferous waste products. The sulfur compounds of waste products usually lie at the root of breath odor problems.

Beta-carotene

Beta-carotene is a strongly-colored red-orange pigment found in plants and fruits, especially carrots and colorful vegetables. The name beta-carotene comes from the Greek beta and Latin carota (carrot). Beta-carotene's chemical formula - C40H56 - was discovered in 1907. The human body converts beta-carotene into vitamin A.

HEALTHY KNOWLEDGE of Beta-carotene

Beta-carotene, like all carotenoids, is an antioxidant. An antioxidant is a substance that inhibits the oxidation of other molecules; it protects the body from free radicals. Free radicals damage cells through oxidation. Eventually, the damage caused by free radicals can cause several chronic illnesses.
Several studies have shown that antioxidants through diet help people's immune systems, protect against free radicals, and lower the risk of developing cancer and heart disease. Some studies have suggested that those who consume at least four daily servings of beta-carotene rich fruits and/or vegetables have a lower risk of developing cancer or heart disease.

Anthocyanins

Blueberries, in particular, have gotten much attention because of their positive impact on health. The secret weapon in blueberries is the very high Anthocyanins they contain.

HEALTHY KNOWLEDGE of Anthocyanins

Antioxidants are considered to be great combatants against free radical activity within the body. One study found anthocyanins to be the strongest antioxidant of 150 different flavonoids. Laboratory tests have also indicated that anthocyanins may inhibit the growth of tumors and breast cancer cells.

Anthocyanins increase blood sugar metabolism and studies show that they may have a positive effect on abnormal collagen production, a side effect of diabetes that contributes to poor blood sugar control. One study also suggested that Anthocyanins may be effective in preventing retinopathy, a diabetic condition that can lead to blindness. The anthocyanins not only prevent an overproduction of proteins but were also shown to repair leaking, damaged capillaries.

Anthocyanins may help night vision and improve overall visual acuity. One study showed that taking blueberry and black currant anthocyanins supplements temporarily increased the vision of 36 patients.

Anthocyanins may decrease cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure, increase blood flow, enhance capillary strength and fight oxidative stress, all of which benefit cardiovascular health and help prevent heart disease.

Anthocyanins may be useful in treating ulcers because they protect the stomach by increasing stomach mucus and gastric juice secretion. This may be why blueberries have been used in traditional medicine to treat ulcers.
