wheatgrass is a natural source of Nutrients

Wheatgrass is one of the so-called green foods that are valued by health-conscious individuals as a great natural source of nutrients. In Juice form, it contains 70% chlorophyll, which is often referred to as the blood of plant life. The chlorophyll molecule in wheatgrass is almost identical to the haemoglobin molecule in human blood. The only difference is that the central element in chlorophyll is magnesium and in hemoglobin it is iron.

Benefits of Wheatgrass

Due to this inherent similarity, the human body can easily transform chlorophyll into hemoglobin increasing the red blood cell count as well as the blood’s capacity to deliver oxygen and other nutrients to the body’s cells (Hagiwara, 1985). Chlorophyll has been shown to build red blood cells quickly, normalize blood pressure by dilating the blood pathways through out the body, destroy poisonous carbon dioxide, release free oxygen and promote higher metabolism and stimulated enzyme systems. On top of all of these benefits, consuming chlorophyll from wheatgrass is a highly effective way to alkalize the blood and energize the body.

wheatgrass is a Great protein source

When it comes to supplying protein, wheatgrass juice provides a large array of essential amino acids. wheatgrassamino acids are the building blocks of protein. They are absolutely essential to our growth, cell regeneration, proper digestion, and assimilation of foods, strong immunity against the disease, rapid healing of cuts and wounds, proper liver function and regulation of our level of mental awareness. Wheatgrass juice is a complete protein and contains, amongst others, the following amino acids: arginine, serine, abscisic, lysine, aspartic acid, glycine, alanine, methionine, leucine, tryptophan, phenylalanine, and valine.

Being a natural cleanser as well as protecting against illness

Every day our bodies accumulate internal waste and harmful toxins from eating processed and chemically grown food, breathing polluted air and drinking impure water. If we don’t rid the body of toxins they can cause long term damage and disease.

The high levels of enzymes and amino acids act like natural detergents that will drain the lymph system, (such as saponin which is high in wheatgrass) which carries away many toxins from body cells.  When an imbalance exists, sore tendons and joints, degenerative disease, etc. there is a natural build-up of mucous in the lymph in that area. Wheatgrass juice will break down the mucous and allow it to drain. It detoxifies the liver, eliminates toxic heavy metals from the bloodstream, rid the body of waste matter and helps to strengthen the body’s immune system. Wheatgrass is a powerful cleanser and may start an immediate reaction with toxins and mucus in the stomach and thus may cause nausea. Chlorophyll will bring toxins stored away in cells or fatty tissues into the bloodstream.

Wheatgrass juices are an extremely effective way of boosting the body’s immune system to fight against and recover from illnesses and ailments. Wheatgrass is a great source of beta carotene, contains most of the B vitamins and vitamins C, E, H and K, and also contains over 90 different minerals and 19 amino acids. It also contains several active enzymes which play a major role in breaking down fats, undertaking biological functions and assist hugely in weight loss. Of the 90 minerals found, many of these are very alkalizing and include calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, and iron.

Amount of wheatgrass to drink

When drinking wheatgrass for the very first time, many people make the mistake of consuming too much juice. It must be noted that the composition of wheatgrass juice differs significantly from other juices and it has a much more intense detoxing action than other fruit and vegetable juices.
People new to taking wheatgrass should start by consuming 1oz of juice a day, then after a week build this up to 2oz a day (two 1 oz servings taken at different times of the day).
Drinking wheatgrass should be on an empty stomach as otherwise, you may experience nausea. After you have consumed the wheatgrass juice you should let it be digested for at least half an hour before eating.
If you drink too much wheatgrass juice then you will experience nausea due to the detoxing effects of the juice.
Wheatgrass juice is a great cleansing agent for the intestinal tract but if you drink and act as a natural laxative but if you consume too much then you will need to visit the toilet more often than desired.

For most people 1-2 oz a day is the amount taken if taking wheatgrass juice for maintaining good health. People taking wheatgrass for the treatment of disease often take 4-8 oz of juice per day but some of this will not be drunk, it will be taken as a wheatgrass enema or as a wheatgrass implant.
