So, just what are the benefits of wheatgrass? Seems like every month somebody is touting a new found ‘weight loss method’, or ‘new super food’. Wheatgrass is one of natures ‘super foods’ (or in my case, super mood enhancer) due to the massive amounts of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, and chlorophyll in wheat grass. Here are some of the benefits:

Decrease in craving for junk food because wheatgrass makes you feel fuller longer.

Improved digestion due to the chlorophyll in wheatgrass. Chlorophyll has been found to help improve the digestion of food.

Chlorophyll appears to prevent colon cancer. Theon dimeflat cancer spike after a meal high in chlorophyll.

Wheatgrass cleanses your system, intestine, and liver. It’s a ‘ metabolicamide ‘ in the body, which means it makes things run better.

Wheatgrass is a natural pain desensitizer, meaning your body responds better to simple pain killers like aspirin or ibuprofen when used with wheatgrass..

Chlorophyll is very efficient at deodorizing the breath and giving you a natural ‘fresh air of spring’ feel-good feeling.

Wheatgrass cleanses and detoxifies your body, needed for muscle building and the ability to recover quickly.

Wheatgrass helps build a healthy immune system.

Wheatgrass cleanses blood vessels, liver, and kidney.

Some research suggests a diet rich in chlorophyll is associated with reduced incidences of heart disease.

Those same people also state that wheatgrass juice also cleanses and detoxifies the lymph system, the ENDocrine system, and the blood stream.

Okay, so not all of these claims can be substantiated, but did you realize that ‘acetyl-CoA’ is a precursor to histamine?

Histamine is a neurotransmitter that is involved with our sense of smell, and is released in our body odor. So, smell your own urine after taking wheatgrass, and see what it smells like (it will shit you).

Infixease of Histamine can be a side-effect of certain medication like aspirin or ibuprofen.

Wheatgrass is also a great source of beta-carotene, essential for cardiovascular, bones, skin, and teeth health.

And here’s the best part; Chlorophyll is being studied for its ability to help us stay young.

The chlorophyll molecule contains a molecule of magnesium, which stimulates the centipede to produce more vitamin A. It then combines with zeaxanthin in the same molecule to create this vitamin A called beta-carotene. Our bodies convert beta-carotene into vitamin A.

On the other hand, because of the abundance of vitamin A that you get from beta-carotene, cell sedimentation is reduced and your vision improves.

As the cell sedimentation reduction improves, the incidence of large number of cataracts is also reduced.

Carotenoids are being researched for their anti-cancer effect, as well as their anti-inflammatory effect.

M recipies can be made from wheatgrass, can be added to your juicer, or can even be blended in your smoothie.

The pulp from wheatgrass can be digested and processed into a drink.

Glyconutrients in wheatgrass inulin are being commercialized and will be the future of the nutrition industry.

Wheatgrass contains up to 70 minerals, make it an excellent source of micro-minerals.
