The Amazing Health Benefits Of Wheatgrass

There are huge health and energy benefits of wheatgrass and in taking it as a daily dietary supplement.

As an avid drinker of wheatgrass juice myself, I would thoroughly recommend it for giving you masses of energy, keeping you healthy, helping to lose weight, cleansing and a whole lot more.

Wheatgrass is the young leaf of the wheat plant, before it matures into a grain. It is classed as a vegetable and is packed full of sunlight energy and chlorophyll - the wonderfully nourishing enzyme that gives plants their dark green colour.

It can either be taken as a powder supplement or juiced and drank as a very potent liquid. Unlike cows and other animals, we are unable to digest wheatgrass in its whole leaf form, so we need to juice it.

Here are 5 top benefits of wheatgrass:

1. It is a complete food: Wheatgrass contains a whole host of essential vitamins & minerals, as well as being a complete protein, containing all 8 amino acids - vital building blocks for cell renewal.

2. It is highly alkalizing: Our body's blood pH should be maintained at a slightly alkaline pH of 7.35-7.45. If we deviate from this range, then we die. Illness and disease is caused by an acidic environment in the body, where there is a battle to keep the bllod at it's correct alklaine pH.35-7.45. We therefore need to follow an alkaline diet for optimum health and to avoid illness & disease.

Wheatgrass is one of the most alkaline foods on the planet & your body will thank you immeasurably if you take wheatgrass regularly.

3. It has been used in the treatment of patients who have been diagnosed with terminal illnesses such as cancer: Ann Wigmore put wheatgrass on the map in the 1970s with her wheatgrass retreats where her and her colleagues helped people with terminal cancer return to health by having daily high doses of fresh wheatgrass juice.

In a study reported in the Journal of Mutation Research comparing the anticancer effect of chlorophyll to beta-carotene and vitamins A, C and E, chlorophyll was proven to be a more effective anti-mutagen than any of them.

4. It is easy to grow: You can easily grow it yourself at home. Youn can grow the plant within a week and it's ready for consumption! In fact, this is its optimum growing time. You will need to buy an electronic or manual wheatgrass juicer in order to extract the juice (a normal juicer is not suitable).

5. The fresh juice tastes great: When I first started with wheatgrass, I bought the freeze-dried powder, which is great and has amazing effects on your health, well being, energy and great skin.

However, I then discovered the magic of freshly squeezed wheatrass juice, whcih is a beautiful superfood drink! The taste is so potent, unlike anything else imaginable! It almost tastes alcoholic because of its potency but it definitely feels healthy and has a sweet after taste. I was hooked and I am sure you will be too when you taste it and see the phenomenal effects it will have on your levels of vitality and health when taken regularly.
