Would you believe that it was possible to have all the nutrients of a plate filled with vegetables with just one tiny tablet?This was made possible through the power of algae namely spirulina and chlorella. The study and accessibility to algae is not widely known but it is capable of giving the amount of nutrients that the body needs in order to prevent aging and disease. Algae is considered to have the highest protein, is the most nutrient dense, with the highest chlorophyll in the world, and is also endorsed by agencies. In fact, it is making its name after being successfully used by NASA as a supplement for astronauts.In this episode, Kashif is joined by Catharine Arnston, CEO and Founder of EnergyBits. EnergyBits are nutritionally dense bits of food made from algae. Aside from the benefits mentioned above, this episode dives into everything else that algae has to offer - spirulina being an energizing, nourishing blue-green algae; and chlorella as the health, wellness and detox green algae. Kashif and Catharine also discuss about algae in relation to mitochondria health. The most common knowledge about the mitochondria is how it functions as the powerhouse of the cell - which is a fact that is not to be undermined. Mitochondria DNA actually controls everything. This indicates that once it is damaged, we are putting our bodies at risk of disease and aging. To prevent that, the body must be able to rid of free radicals that our bodies are exposed to. Here are all the topics discussed throughout the episode:The Beginning of EnergyBits (Catharine's Story)Understanding Spirulina and ChlorellaAging and DiseasePhycocyanin Algae, the Mitochondria, and the Electron Transport ChainDealing with Free Radicals: The value of glutathione, melatonin, SOD, and chlorophyllSource of AlgaePreserving health and improving your longevity from the age of 30, 40, 50, and beyondIf you wish to learn more from Catharine, you may do so in the following channels:Catharine's website at https://energybits.com/Catharine's socials at @energybits on Facebook, Instagram, and TwitterYou may also find articles that were presented in the interview here: Mitochondria and Longevity with AlgaeBack in the Groove with AlgaeUse the code UNPILLED to avail of a discount upon checkout when purchasing your very own EnergyBits!________________________________________________________________________________Don't forget to grab yourself a copy of Kashif Khan's book, "The DNA Way: Unlock the Secrets of Your Genes to Reverse Disease, Slow Aging, and Achieve Optimal Wellness" which is now available wherever books are sold!In this book, biotechnology entrepreneur and CEO of The DNA Company Kashif Khan offers an action plan to help you live your best life.
