If you were born between the years 1980 and 2000, Mandy Moore is most likely a household name. Everyone knows her for her roles in movies like A Walk to Remember and The Princess Diaries, her singing career, and of course, her role in the award-winning television series that is guaranteed to make you sob like a baby, This Is Us. What you might not know, however, is that like all of us here at mbg, she's crazy about wellness.

One of the hottest health trends at the moment is drinking celery juice first thing in the morning. But I prefer to drink another type of green liquid – chlorophyll water. Sounds like a science experiment, not part of a health routine, right? Well let me break it down for you and explain why I love starting my day with a glass of this green goodness.

Yes, I am recommending to put the green pigment that's responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis in your water. Think about it – plants need chlorophyll to live – so it only makes sense that humans would benefit from it too. And we're already eating it, even if we don't realize it, in leafy green vegetables. But, if you're trying to sneak more into your diet, you should definitely try chlorophyll water.

Chlorophyll is virtually identical to hemoglobin; it’s the plant version of our own human blood builder and oxygenator. Chlorophyll transfers oxygen to build the blood, promotes intestinal flora and assists liver cleansing.

A glass of it may resemble nothing more than pond slime, but chlorophyll water is being hailed as the new must-have wonder drink because of its array of supposed health-boosting benefits.

Greens are a vital addition to your diet, and the high vitamin and mineral content in these verdant virtuosos contributes to healthy skin, teeth, hair and nails. If you’re looking for that flawlessly radiant complexion and shiny, luscious hair, adding more greens to your daily diet is a must.
