One of the first and best ways to help the environment is to go vegan. What you put in your body is not only critical to living a healthy life but can be critical to save the planet too. Let's have a look at wheatgrass.
Wheatgrass - Nature's Finest Medicine.
Wheatgrass juice is the freshly squeezed juice from young organic wheat sprouts. It is internationally recognised as a superfood, i.e. it contains all the ingredients needed for good health and vitality. It is packed with liquid oxygen and all the vitamins, minerals, trace elements, enzymes and amino acids one requires. Because the structure of chlorophyll resembles the structure of human blood, it is absorbed into the bloodstream immediately. If you cut, juice and consume immediately none of the nutritional value is lost. It is both a food and a medicine.
What does wheatgrass do for you?
* It gives you energy.
* Enriches the blood and feeds the whole system.
* It calms the nervous system, reduces tiredness, fatigue and chronic exhaustion.
* Ensures a smooth metabolism.
* Your appetite is controlled and you lose weight.
* Controls blood pressure and cholesterol.
* Stabilizes blood sugar levels (diabetes is reduced).
* Detoxifies the cells and reduces inflammation from wounds, stomach ulcers, gout, rheumatism, arthritis, osteoperosis, acne, body odours and halitosis)
* Boosts the immune system
* Prevents DNA in the genes from changing which makes it anti-aging.
Freshness & Rawness
One tot of freshly squeezed wheatgrass juice has the same nutritional value as a kilogram of raw spinach or broccoli. The fibrous quality of grass makes it difficult to eat and the most nutritional part of the plant is the juice.
Wheatgrass is also found in pill and powder form but because manufacturing processes uses crushing, freezing and heat-drying processing methods, 70% of the value of wheatgrass is destroyed.
What is inside wheatgrass juice
1. Water - it is the basic substance upon which, and in which all chemical processes take place. All chemical substances are made, broken down and eliminated through the medium of water
2. Chlorophyll - Chlorophyll is the pigment found in plants. It is rich in oxygen providing a boost of energy soon after consumption. It is also easily absorbed into the bloodstream.
3. Vitamins
* Vitamin A is essential for growth and development, good eyesight, effective reproduction, immunity and resistance.
* Vitamin B breaks down carbohydrates to release the energy that food contains. It promotes nerve and digestive functioning and is regarded as an anti-stress vitamin.
* Vitamin C prevents free-radical formation. It also prevents Vitamin A and E from being destroyed.
* Vitamin E promotes repair and healing in the body. Without it we face muscular degeneration of the heart muscles and it is a crucial element in reproduction.
4. Enzymes
Enzymes are formed from a combination of vitamins and amino acids. Without effective enzymes the food that we eat canno get broken down to release the energy that the food contains. Therefore one gains weight.
5. Minerals
Minerals combine with enzymes to break down food for energy. Minerals maintain smooth metabolism, enrich the blood and stabilises the PH factor in the body.
* Calcium for healthy bones and teeth.
* Iron for red blood cell formation and transportation of oxygen from the lungs to the cells.
* Sodium for fluid regulation, relying messages along the nerves and for digestion.
* Potassium is needed for smooth mineral balance and control of body weight and it also contains anti-aging properties.
* Magnesium is important for the muscular functioning. It is also used to clean the liver, kidneys and skin.
6. Trace elements
Trace elements are small minerals needed for optimum functioning. Selenium (wheatgrass contains the most in the plant kingdom) acts as a nerve calment.
7. Amino acids
Wheatgrass contains all 8 amino acids that humans and animals need plus many others.
Always check with a qualified health practitioner if there is any doubt about the use of wheatgrass.
