Wheatgrass – The Green Miracle Nectar
Wheatgrass – The Green Miracle Nectar, that is a statement many live by. When I mention wheatgrass to some of my friends and family, they scrunch their noses. Granted wheatgrass juice is not the best tasting drink, but it’s healing benefits blow many supplements out of the water.
Wheatgrass juice is a great source of vitamins A, C, and E. It also contains all the known mineral elements and is loaded in enzymes. Wheatgrass is rich in sulfur, calcium, potassium, phosphorous, iron, sodium, cobalt, and zinc. It’s a complete protein and is exceptionally high in B vitamins, especially B17. It contains up to 70% chlorophyll, which is an important blood builder, liver detoxer, blood cleaner, creates an unfavorable environment for bacteria growth, aids in digestion, as well as balancing blood sugars.
Because Wheatgrass is so potent, you can feel a little nauseous after ingesting it, so start off slow with small amounts. It’s suggested to start with one ounce and work up to four ounces a day. A mere ounce of wheatgrass juice has as much nutritional value as about 2.5 pounds of fresh green vegetables. Once wheatgrass is juiced, it must be used immediately or within 15 minutes as it tends to go bad quickly. For maximum benefit, wheatgrass should be consumed on an empty stomach or if you’re unable to so, combined it in a smoothie.
