This is a space to celebrate life and people.Travel with me on this adventure!Spirulina and chlorella.The names are not very easy to pronounce, but even so, these ingredients have been increasingly prescribed by health professionals, such as nutritionists.Both supplements gained the kitchen shelves and entered the routine of healthy eating enthusiasts.Experts not only approve, but believe in the potential of these greenish-colored elements.The column spoke with nutritionist Nathalia Patrão, founder of the group Leve Nutrição Descomplicada, made up of four professionals in the field.She explains that chlorella is an algae with a lot of potential in cleaning the body.Spirulina is a freshwater cyanobacterium full of protein and, like the former, is a source of vitamin B12.“In vegetarian patients, for example, I usually use both at the same time.But it all depends on what the person is in need of,” she says.Nathalia recognizes the importance of chlorella in the diet, especially for the anti-inflammatory character it has.“It's the most chlorophyll-rich food in the world,” she says.Like spirulina, it is also very advantageous for strengthening the body's detox system, supplementing with vitamins and minerals, promoting satiety in everyday life and, finally, providing nutrients that may be lacking.According to the professional, the investment in chlorella is high, ranging between R$200 and R$250. The high price, in her view, is worth it.“It is being increasingly commercialized due to the greater knowledge of people, the increase of vegetarians and vegans and also the search for quality of life through this cleansing in the body, known as detox”, she says.The ingredients are sold in powder, tablet and encapsulated versions, and can be mixed, for example, with vitamins, smoothies, bowls or shots.The daily dose varies according to the moment of life, age and consumption purposes.In general, it is recommended on the product packaging itself.Nathalia has a habit of indicating 2 g of Chlorella per day.“The best times to ingest are fasting in the morning or at night, before bed, which is when our body is more prepared to receive it”, she says.The specialist emphasizes that there are no general contraindications, but that people with liver and kidney involvement should seek a medical opinion.The brands she recommends are Green Gem, Ocean Drop, Puravida and Green Gardens.To learn more, follow the column's profile on Instagram.Have you read all the notes and reports in the column today?Click here.The victory ended the sequence of two games without a win for the club from Maranhão, which gained five positions and now appears in 7th place.Amarildo da Costa de Oliveira, known as Pelado, was arrested by the local police, but has not yet confessed to participating in the case.The Defense Minister said this Friday (10/6) that the Ministry did not feel "prestigious" in the discussion about electronic voting machines.Criminals tried to use the victim's credit card to pay the bill at a bar in the central court of SobradinhoIn action by the Dutch Football Federation, athletes wore shirts in training with the Dutch national team before the game against Poland
