Algae : Small plants that grow in water. They come in many different shapes and many different colors, including a bright green or deep red. ‘Although they are tiny, algae have a massive impact on the world around us.' So let’s find out more about these fascinating plants and their secret powers!
Simple as they may appear, algal systems are pretty special. They’ve been around for millions of years — even in the odd ocean, lake, or snow! Some algae are so small you can only see them under a microscope, but others are as big as trees! Whether massive or tiny, all algae are able builders. Algae produce their own food through a process known as photosynthesis, using sunlight and water. They therefore don’t just look nice but they also generate oxygen for us to breathe.
Despite boring appearances, algae are bursting with nutrients that are good for our health. Algae are full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that can help keep our bodies strong, make our skin more luminous, and even help us fight off sickness. Certain species of algae, including spirulina and chlorella are known as superfoods as they contain everything the human body requires. They are also full of omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for our brains and our health. So the next time you spot algae in the water, think twice before passing off as just a pretty sight — they're very healthy too!
Algae has a vital role in the ecosystem. They are eaten by numerous sea creatures, from small fish to giant whales. The oceans would be much poorer without algae, and so would all the animals that depend on them for food. Algae also assist in keeping the ocean clean through the absorption of carbon dioxide and the release of oxygen. Some algae also clean up pollution in the water. Algae being studied by scientists to protect our planet, to contribute to a better future for all of us.
Algae are not just beneficial for our health and the environment — they are changing the beauty industry. Many skin care products contain algae extracts, because they are packed with the proteins and vitamins that can do our skin good. Algae extracts can hydrate dry skin and combat signs of aging. And there are even treatments using algae at some spas, such as seaweed wraps and masks, that are claimed to help people relax and improve the appearance of their skin. With algae integrated into our beauty routines, we can have good skin and save the planet.
