The following contents about spirulina are for your reference only:
Spirulina, also known as cyanobacteria, is a very old organism, and their microfossils have existed for more than three billion years. Under the microscope, the appearance of spirulina is turquoise, unbranched and filamentous, just like a coil spring, hence the name spirulina. Spirulina has been recognized as "the most ideal food in 2 1 century" by FAO and "the safest healthy food in 2 1 century" by WHO. The United Nations calls for the development of spirulina as an edible algae to save human life. The growth conditions of spirulina are very harsh: the water temperature should not exceed 30 degrees Celsius to 35 degrees Celsius; Strong light all year round, long time; The water body should be strongly alkaline; Water quality is clean and pollution-free. At present, only three producing areas have been found in the world-Lake Chad in Africa, Teskoko in Mexico and Chenghai in Yunnan, China.
Nutritional efficacy:
The nutritional value of spirulina is different from that of ordinary food, which only contains one or several nutritional components. It contains comprehensive nutrients and meets the needs of the human body.
Scientific research shows that the protein content of spirulina is as high as 60%-70%, so far, there is no edible organism in the world that can match it. Its protein content is five times that of pork, three times that of fish and 15 times that of soybean, and it is also rich in carotene, various minerals and vitamins, unsaturated fatty acids, eight amino acids that cannot be synthesized by human body and bioactive substances that are not clear at present.
Edible spirulina has good effects of regulating immune function, ensuring nutritional balance, eliminating fatigue, restoring and activating cell activity, and delaying aging. It has special health care function for women and has certain adjuvant therapeutic effects on cancer, hyperlipidemia, pernicious anemia and diabetes.
Spirulina has basically no adverse effects after eating, so Spirulina has the reputation of "new food and new oxygen source in the space age".
Scientific research also shows that 1 g spirulina powder has the same nutritional components as 1 kg vegetables. An adult only needs to eat 5 grams of spirulina every day to maintain his daily needs.
Adding spirulina to food can reduce cardiovascular diseases caused by eating high animal protein, prevent thrombosis, and reduce the occurrence of coronary heart disease and obesity.
Spirulina contains active substances that enhance insulin function, and is low in sugar, fat and protein, which is an ideal food for diabetic patients.
Diet should be taboo:
Ordinary people can eat it, which is the first choice for children, teenagers, middle-aged and elderly people and pregnant women. 1-5g per day is enough.
Spirulina is a pure natural nutritious food, and there is no special taboo. But don't eat too much at a time, otherwise it will cause flatulence.
Spirulina is not the same as diet pills. Eating Spirulina after full stomach has no obvious weight loss effect.
Spirulina can't completely replace vegetables and fruits. It is unwise to eat more than a dozen pieces of spirulina instead of vegetables and fruits every day.
