Energy Boost
Sunlight is among the most abundant energy sources on Earth. Adenosine-5′-triphosphate is thought to be the only form of biological energy produced from sunlight by chloroplasts found in photosynthetic animals (ATP). The mitochondria of a mammal can also take in light and generate ATP when coupled with a light-capturing metabolite of chlorophyll.
The identical metabolite administered to the Caenorhabditis Elegans worm increases ATP production and length of life when exposed to light. According to the findings, molecules of the chlorophyll type catalyze the breakdown of coenzyme Q, a slow stage in mitochondrial ATP generation, which modulates mitochondrial ATP.
A study suggests that animals can also obtain energy directly from sunlight by ingesting plant chlorophyll pigments. Unbeknown to us, there are many more similarities between plants and people. The thousands of enzymes that make up a plant’s physiology transform glucose into a wide variety of vitamins and other antioxidizing compounds, and several biochemical processes within the human body use glucose as a primary energy source.
Foods high in chlorophyll have been related to higher hemoglobin levels. Moreover, chlorophyll is frequently referred to as the “blood of plants.”
