juice cup         The wheatgrass is a plant, which is grown for the Red Wheat Berry. It's a unique strain of wheat that produces high concentrates of chlorophyll, active enzymes, vitamins and other important nutrients. Wheatgrass is living food full of vitamins and enzymes, and probably the freshest food you will have all day, particularly during winter. One ounce of Wheatgrass juice is comparable in vitamins, minerals, and amino acids found in 2-1/2 pounds of green leaf vegetables. Wheatgrass is one of the richest natural sources of vitamin A, Complete B complex, B-17, C, E, and K. Wheatgrass is one of the best resources for Calcium, Potassium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Sodium, Cobalt, Zinc, Sulfur, and 17 other forms of amino acids and enzymes.

        Chlorophyll is the basis of all plant life, and makes up over 70% of the solid content of wheatgrass juice. The chlorophyll strongly resembles the molecules of human red blood cells and aids in rebuilding the bloodstream, which counteracts anemia, reduces the risk of cancer and also cleanses the body.

        To those who have never actually used or even seen wheatgrass, it looks very alike to the common lawn grass. There are however substantial differences between the two. Some of the finer qualities of wheatgrass and the juice that can be extracted from the blades include the following:

        Wheatgrass, (valued by health conscious individuals,) is considered a great natural source of nutrients. Chlorophyll has been shown to create an undesirable atmosphere for bacterial growth in the body and as a result, effective in increasing the body's battle to illness. Due to its fibrous character, which is indigestible to humans, wheatgrass should be liquefied before consuming.

        Wheatgrass has been known as an alternative to cancer therapy. Drinking wheatgrass juice helps your body to build more red blood cells, which carry oxygen to every cell. By increasing the oxygenation to the body, you can help counterbalance smog and carbon monoxide and increase your stamina during physical exercise.

juice glass         Wheatgrass has also been known to dissolve scars formed in the lungs and therefore washes drug deposits from the body, purifies the body and organs, and counteracts acids and toxins in the body. It helps to boost the enzyme level in our cells, aiding in the upgrading of the body and the metabolism of nutrients, these enzymes help to dissolve tumors.

        The body uses these amino acids for things like building muscle tissue, repairing cells, and clearing the clotting of blood. Wheatgrass keeps 92 of the 102 minerals discovered in the soil. These minerals include calcium, phosphorus, iron magnesium and potassium. Wheatgrass has more vitamin C than oranges and twice the vitamin A as carrots.

        Wheatgrass is one of the most widely used supplemental health foods today. It is a concentrated source of vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll, and enzymes.

        A great way to increase the amount of dark leafy green vegetables to the diet is to drink fresh wheatgrass juice. (At this early stage of the plant's life, it is considered a vegetable rather than a grain, and is also safe for gluten-sensitive individuals.)

        Fifteen pounds of wheatgrass is equal to 350 pounds of choice vegetables! Juicing unlocks the nutrients in vegetables and fruits, concentrating them and making them more bioavailable to the cells of the body.

        A 16-x16 tray of wheatgrass produces about 15 to 22 ounces of juice, depending on its length. Tablets and powder are a good second choice to fresh wheatgrass juice, but are not always preferred.

        Start with just one ounce of wheatgrass juice per day. A therapeutic program may include as much as two or three ounces.

        Wheatgrass juice has many benefits. It can be used externally as:         The energy obtained from wheatgrass juice is extraordinary. On an empty stomach, it is assimilated into the blood in about 20 minutes. The energy lasts throughout the day. It contains the majority of the vitamins and minerals needed for human preservation. It is also a complete protein with about 30 enzymes. The only real dissimilarity is the innermost factor in chlorophyll is magnesium and in hemoglobin it is iron. Chlorophyll has the aptitude to break down toxic carbon dioxide and discharge free oxygen. This inhibits and reduces the action of anaerobic bacteria (a disease-producing micro-organism). Wheatgrass juice has been known to construct red blood cells rapidly after eating. It normalizes high blood pressure and stimulates strong tissue growth.

glass and grass         When an imbalance or injury exists (examples: sore tendons or joints; degenerative disease; etc.), there is a natural increase of mucous in the lymph particular to that area. This mucous is summarized, helping to guarantee the correct flow of lymphatic fluid. Wheatgrass juice helps to breakdown the mucous and allows it to drain. This helps to ease strain and allow healing.

        Wheatgrass juice's high enzyme substance helps dissolve tumors. It is the greatest, surest way to get rid of internal waste and offer a best possible nutritional atmosphere. Wheatgrass juice may also be used as a poultice or wash, inspiring healthy new cells and fighting infections."

        Wheatgrass juice is a body builder. It is very high in enzymes and chlorophyll. It contains up to 70% chlorophyll, which is an important body builder. The chlorophyll molecule closely resembles that of the hemin molecule, the pigment that combines with protein to form hemoglobin. The major difference is the chlorophyll molecule contains magnesium as its central atom, and hemin contains iron. The molecular structure of these two substances is almost identical in all other respects. It builds the blood. Wheatgrass juice has been proven to build red blood cells quickly after ingestion. It normalizes high blood pressure and stimulates healthy tissue cell growth.

juice glass and vitamins         Wheatgrass cleanses the body. The many detergent factors of wheatgrass juice will drain the lymph system, 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. Wheatgrass is a powerful cleanser and may start an immediate reaction with toxins and mucus in the stomach and thus may cause nausea.
