Your mother always tells you to finish your vegetables, and for good  reason.  Vegetables, especially the green kind are packed full of  essential vitamins and nutrients, important for maintaining health and  vitality.  Green vegetables are
also packed with something else;  chlorophyll.  Chlorophyll is the green organic chemical produced by  plants that allow them to convert sunlight into useable energy.  It also offers a number of unique benefits to us as human beings. 

One of the most unique chlorophyll benefits is that of a  natural deodorant.  It does not work in the same manner as how you'd normally think of an anti odor product, but it accomplishes the same  thing.  Whereas traditional deodorant products tend to target bacterial  growth and sweat, chlorophyll works by actually absorbing the odor  compounds that cause us to smell. 

Another use of chlorophyll is as a blood rejuvenator.   Chlorophyll shares similar structural features to our own blood, and for this reason you can imagine that it can have common similarities in a  way.  One of those ways is that it aids the body in producing new blood.  Doctors will give women who have recently given birth or patients who  have experienced blood loss.

Chlorophyll contains natural  antioxidants.  Antioxidants  are beneficial because they seek out free radical and carcinogenic  compounds in the body and eliminate them.  Because of this, many people  regard chlorophyll as a natural way to prevent or minimize the risk for  cancer.

Many people use chlorophyll as a method for colon  cleansing.  Going back to how chlorophyll helps to get rid of odor and  free radical particles, it also helps to purge the body of toxins and  other left over junk.  This provides several benefits to our bodies.   First, it helps to keep our system clean and organs functioning properly.  Another benefit is that it tends to improve skin quality and  reduce blemishes.  

A final benefit of chlorophyll is as an antibacterial  agent.  Studies have shown it has the ability to prevent the growth of  many harmful types of bacteria.  Back in the old days, it was used as a  way to clean open wounds. 

As you can see, chlorophyll provides numerous benefits to us.  It helps  with things like odor, blood and overall health.  Best of all is that  it's natural and isn't made in some factory; it comes from freshly grown vegetables.  So the next time someone tells you to finish your spinach, you'll now have a better understanding of why it's a good idea to  listen.
 

The battle between men and women rages on, and subject for today is  body odor; who stinks more, men or women?   There are many factors that determine how much a person smells, and many of them are independent of gender.  However,  there are a few differences that are important.  Before getting into  that, it is important to mention the general causes of body odor.

The human body has on average 2 million sweat glands.  We also have two  types; apocrine and
eccrine glands.  Eccrine glands cover the majority  of our bodies and produce sweat which is comprised mainly of water and  salts.  Eccrine glands are smaller in size than apocrine glands and are  primarily used to cool the body.  Apocrine glands on the other hand are  larger and concentrated mainly in the underarm and genital area.  These  glands produce a thicker, fattier sweat that contains proteins and lipids.  Bacteria feed on this type of sweat and produce waste compounds that we associate with body odor.

How and why we sweat is the primary difference between men and women as it  pertains to body odor.  Women tend to produce more sweat, but male sweat glands are generally more active. 
Essentially this means men are  likely to sweat more frequently, but when a woman does sweat she  produces more at a time.  In addition, studies have shown men to have  more sulfide and other odor compounds in their sweat than women.  Their  sweat tends to have a stronger odor similar to vinegar or cheese.

Looking at the information, one can reasonably assume that men in fact have a stronger body odor smell in comparison  to females.  They sweat more often and contain more odor compounds in  their sweat.  Both factors contribute to body odor.
