About Wheatgrass
Wheatgrass is a green super-food that is probably the most valuable source of natural
nutrients on earth. It contains vitamins A, B, C, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus,
potassium, sodium, sulfur, cobalt, zinc, living enzymes, and protein in the form of amino
acids. The solid portion of wheatgrass juice is 70% chlorophyll, which is often referred
to as the blood of the plant and closely resembles the molecules of human red blood cells.
Chlorophyll is known to produce an unfavorable environment for bacterial growth in the
body and is therefore effective in increasing the body’s resistance to illness.
Wheatgrass juice is part of the “raw foods” diet as first promoted by Dr. Ann Wigmore.
Ideally, it should be incorporated into a diet consisting of sprouted seeds and beans, raw
fruits and vegetables, as well as fermented foods such as raw sauerkraut and Rejuvelac
(a sprouted wheat drink).
Wheatgrass juice can:
• Cleanse the bloodstream of toxins
• Build healthy blood as it increases hemoglobin levels
• Improve circulation
• Help reduce high blood pressure
• Alleviate anemia by providing iron
• Promote healthy gums and skin
• Aid digestion
• Curb appetite
• Reduce cravings for addictive substances
• Increase energy
•Wheatgrass pulp soaked in wheatgrass juice can be applied to the skin
as a poultice
How to Drink Wheatgrass Juice
Try 1 ounce of wheatgrass juice per day for the first week. It is best to drink the juice
in the morning on an empty stomach and wait at least 20 minutes before eating. Over
time the amount can gradually be increased to 2 to 3 ounces per day as a healthy
supplement. If you are on a cleansing diet, you can drink as much as 4 to 6 ounces per
day. For best results, drink wheatgrass juice twice a day, for example, 2 ounces in the
morning and 2 ounces later in the afternoon. This is better than trying to drink a
large amount all at once.
Wheatgrass juice can be mixed with other vegetable juices
such as carrot, celery, or parsley, but it does not combine well
with fruit juices. In general, it is digested more quickly if you
just drink it straight.
