Chlorophyll and Gut Health: The Restorative Power of Green Nutrition

葉綠素與腸道健康:綠色營養的修復力量

Chlorophyll is the lifeblood of plants.

Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in plants, particularly in the vegetables we eat daily. Its chemical structure is similar to that of human blood, the only difference being that chlorophyll contains magnesium, while human blood contains iron. Although Americans typically consume only one to two cups of vegetables per day, the ideal intake is seven to ten cups, especially densely packed vegetables which provide richer nutrients.

The relationship between gut health and vegetables

For people with intestinal problems such as leaky gut or inflammation, certain components in vegetables, such as plant proteins (e.g., lectins), can irritate the intestinal mucosa and cause discomfort. Therefore, some people choose a meat-based diet to reduce irritation.

However, by choosing vegetables with low lectin content and removing fiber, such as using green vegetable powders like wheatgrass juice powder, one can ingest chlorophyll without causing intestinal discomfort. This method can effectively improve the intestinal mucosa and, in some cases, even repair the tight junctions of the intestinal barrier, allowing the intestines to allow only specific substances to pass through.

Repair and anti-inflammatory effects of chlorophyll

Chlorophyll provides excellent support for intestinal cells (gut cells), slowing the formation of fibrotic tissue and even delaying the progression of liver cirrhosis. This is because chlorophyll itself has powerful anti-inflammatory properties, which can soothe irritation of the intestinal mucosa.

In addition, chlorophyll also helps maintain the balance of the gut microbiota, the health of the mucus layer, and the permeability of the intestines, further strengthening the intestinal barrier function.

Conclusion: Green nutrition protects your gut.

Chlorophyll is not only the life source of plants, but also a natural aid in the repair of the human gut. Choosing to consume low-lectin, fiber-free green vegetables may bring unexpected improvements to gut health. Whether you have gut problems or not, chlorophyll is a nutrient element worth including in your daily diet.
