Chlorophyll


 If you have any suggestions about improving  this blog


                 (COMPLETED)
 Body odor is a very troublesome attribute that we all have to deal with. The average person can use deodorant or a cologne/perfume to prevent other people from smelling their personal musk. But in reality, they only  mask the odor and though some people can hide their odors with conventional hygiene products for others it's ineffective. To really deal with the odor adequately we have look internally to get to the right problem. In other words, the odor from your body  is mainly affected by what you put into or absorbed into your body, and the main culprit  is junk food. These toxins that you put into you body everyday have been degenerating your immune system and making you smell bad.
       But there still is hope, if you change your diet from refined sugary sweets, processed animal meat, and altered dairy products. To a more pure diet that consists of green leafy vegetables you will see a considerable change in your body odor because most green vegetables have chlorophyll content inside of them.
         Chlorophyll is a natural component found in plants that not only gives the green color to plants, but it also can be used as a natural deodorant to prevent body odor. Chlorophyll is better than other deodorant products because it is an "internal deodorizer", meaning, that instead of it masking the odor like all deodorant brands do it will cleanse your body from the inside out by getting rid of the toxins that are causing the odor. Not only does chlorophyll relieve bad breath(halitosis), body odor, and perspiration odor it also has the ability to purify the blood, remove heavy metals from the body, and provide essential vitamins and minerals to your body.
There are a number of products that sell chlorophyll in liquid form, however, their prices are considerably high and the amount that is in most products will last you lest than a couple of days. That's why it is for your benefit to take it the natural way by eating the top vegetables that have the most chlorophyll content. I have personally surveyed over 30 vegetables to see which vegetable has the most copper, magnesium, and other minerals and vitamins that make up the composition of its detoxifying element. From my research into the vegetables that have the most chlorophyll content these are the top 10 vegetables that will provide you with a better potency than all other liquid chlorophyll products

Nutritional Key:
A = Vitamin A
E = Vitamin E
K = Vitamin K
Ma = Magnesium
Co = Copper
Z  = Zinc

Note: 
* The percentage values listed with vitamin/minerals of the vegetables are based on the (RDI) Reference Daily Intake. Here is the recommended value for all the vitamins/minerals
Vitamin A =  5000 IU
Vitamin E = 14mg
Vitamin K = 80mcg
Magnesium = 400mg
Copper = 2mg
Zinc =15mg

* I  rounded the percentages  of any mineral that had 0.5(or higher) value beside it

* The way I rated each vegetable was  by comparing the amount of each vitamin/mineral they contain and  if  3 out of 5 minerals  of a certain vegetable had a higher content than the other one. Then, that certain vegetable will be ranked higher above the other one.

* Questions marks(?), indicate that I couldn't find the nutritional value of that specific mineral and basically it wasn't listed
