We were always told to eat our leafy greens, and now there’s scientific data to back up the saying, suggesting that eating leafy greens and going outside can help the body naturally regenerate Coenzyme Q10. Chlorophyll is the green chemical in the leaves of plants that convert sunlight into energy. Conventional wisdom says that because our bodies lack chlorophyll we cannot convert sunlight into energy directly, which is why we have to eat them.

It turns out, this is not exactly the case. Sunlight penetrates our bodies as anyone who has held their closed fingers up to the sun can see. The light that comes through our skin and reaches greens that we have recently eaten, activating the chlorophyll and allowing the cells of our body to regenerate Coenzyme Q10, a powerful anti inflammatory, antioxidant and is important chemical in staving off diseases like diabetes.
