| |  From supermodels Miranda Kerr and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley to TV stars Millie Mackintosh and Jennifer Aniston, the green algae supplement chlorella hasn't been far from celebrities lips over the last few years. It appears however, following discoveries in a recent study, there's more to the algae's skin benefits than simply celebrity anecdotes and that we could all get superstar skin by adding a little of chlorella to our lives...
A recent published study1 looked at the potential cosmetic benefits of different types of chlorella and revealed some surprising results, which support celebrity claims that the algae could give you a glowing complexion. Some of the chlorella tested contained powerful anti-oxidants, molecules that are seen to combat oxygen free radicals (one of the main culprits thought to be behind aging skin and a result of everything from pollution to stress). What was far more exciting however was the discovery that some chlorella had an ability to inhibit an enzyme called elastase. Elastase acts to break down a protein found in our skin called elastin.
When discussing skin and aging, collagen is often the main topic of conversation, but elastin plays an equally important role in keeping our skin looking young. Whilst collagen provides the skin with its firmness, elastin gives it its elasticity and an ability to rebound when pinched or pulled. Less elastin means less elasticity, which leads inevitably to skin sagging and wrinkles. By inhibiting the elastase enzyme, which breaks down elastin, chlorella could provide a powerful tool to help our skin stay young, although no one can promise this means you'll get supermodel looks!Sun ChlorellaSun Chlorella is one of the world's leading brands and produce chlorella which can be taken from the inside out, in the form of tablets and powder.
One of the reasons Sun Chlorella stands out from the other products on the market is that the fact they use a DYNO®-Mill process, which breaks down the cell walls of the algae (without the use of heat or chemicals which can reduce the quality of the chlorella) to ensure when you use either their products you're getting the most nutrients possible.

| |  Forget the traditional Christmas Tree, if you really want to feel good this festive period ensure you have some ‘Drumstick Tree’ to hand...
Known as the 'miracle' or 'drumstick tree', the leaves, bark, flowers, fruit, seeds, and roots of moringa are all used traditionally throughout Asia for a host of claimed health benefits.
Research continues 1,2,3 to highlight, that on top of its traditional use, moringa could also help our bodies and livers better protect themselves from the onslaught of 'poisons'. In the studies scientists looked at the effect on animal livers of moringa extracts when exposed to poison. Under normal circumstances the liver helps filter toxins from the body, but excess exposure over time can cause lasting damage to the organ and prevent it from working efficiently.
In numerous studies, scientists have found that moringa extracts can help reduce markers of liver damage and improve the condition of the liver's cells when exposed to poison, indicating the plant somehow has a protective effect on the body.How to include moringa in your diet this ChristmasNatur Boutique's organic moringa tea offers one of the easiest and tastiest ways to feel the benefits of the plant.

| | London: Shelley Kerr, who guided the Scotland women's team to their first-ever World Cup finals in 2019, is stepping down from the job, the Scottish Football Association said on Thursday.
The 51-year-old leaves the role after three years having failed to secure qualification for the Euros in 2022 - a home defeat by Finland earlier in December ending their hopes.
Kerr - who also coached Scotland at the Euro 2017 finals where they went out in the group stage - said it was time to confront new challenges. | | | | |
