Benefits of Drinking Wheatgrass
The Ultimate Bood
Purifier and Superfood
There are many benefits of drinking wheatgrass juice. Often dubbed as
“liquid sunshine,” wheatgrass juice contains a high
level of chlorophyll (around 70%), the green pigmentation found in
plants that
absorbs the sun’s energy. Because of chlorophyll,
wheatgrass is a highly potent inhibitor of several kinds of
carcinogens, which makes it an effective anticancer substance. 
Cancer—the highly dreaded six-letter word. No one knows exactly how a
person gets it, and the cure is usually painful and tormenting. When
you have to lose hair, drop weight, and feel sicker everytime you try
to cure cancer with chemotherapy, it seems like such a great
sacrifice—perhaps one that is too much to make.
Luckily, decreasing the activity of mutagens by up to as much as 99% is
one of the many benefits of drinking wheatgrass, and the effects of
drinking wheatgrass juice.
The funny thing is, the benefits of drinking wheatgrass are not limited
to reducing cancer-causing agents (though, undoubtedly, that is one of
the most important). An ounce or two of wheatgrass juice intake per day
can have a whole host of healing effects to your body: from tooth decay
to Diabetes, drinking wheatgrass juice helps get rid of these diseases.
Here are a few more of the health benefits of drinking wheatgrass
juice:
- It helps prevent Alzheimer's Disease. Because
of its ability to remove heavy metals from the body’s system (something
that very few juices can do), drinking it regularly can help prevent
mental problems such as Alzheimer’s disease.
- Wheatgrass also has the ability to regulate the
body’s blood sugar level. This is incredibly helpful to diabetics.
- Gargling with wheatgrass juice helps control
pyorrhoea, a gum disease that causes the infection and loosening of the
tooth sockets.
- Since wheatgrass juice is also rich with
building blocks of protein, otherwise known as amino acids, it’s a
great help to people who are into bodybuilding. The juice contains
approximately 50% protein, which is three times more than beef has!
- Losing weight—and keeping it off—is easier with
wheatgrass juice. Since it’s highly fibrous, it curbs the body’s
cravings. This helps you prevent overeating.
- Wheatgrass juice has a high grade of iron
content. This helps the body regenerate and reactivate red blood cells,
which provides oxygen to the body and prevents anemia.
- Regular consumption of wheatgrass juice also
helps the body detoxify. It cleans the lymphatic system, and flushes
out encrustrations and faecal matter in the intestines and the colon,
keeping your gastro-intestines cleaner and healthier.
- Wheatgrass juice can also speed up the process
of healing in wounds. All you need are two ounces of this juice, mix it
with a small bucket of distilled water, and dab it on your wounds and
sores. Almost immediately, you will experience great relief from your
itches and wounds.
There are many other benefits of wheatgrass - you will see for yourself
after a few days of drinking it, starting with an increase in your
energy levels.
