Wheatgrass Juice

Wheatgrass juice is one of today’s health food supplements of choice. And for good reason. It is derived from the so-called “green” food wheatgrass, a young wheat plant with concentrated sources of a wide range of nutrients: vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids, and most importantly chlorophyll. But because wheatgrass as such is indigestible by humans, it must be liquefied, or juiced, to fully benefit from al its goodness.

Proponents of wheatgrass juice are fond of stating that one ounce of wheatgrass is the nutritional equivalent of 2.5 pounds of the freshest of garden vegetables. Dubbed as an energiser, a blood builder, a body cleanser, and a body healer, wheatgrass juice is an all-around health booster. Drinking just two ounces daily can provide lasting vitality throughout the day. Chlorophyll, which makes up 70% of wheatgrass juice’s content, helps to build red blood cells, purify organs, and detoxify the blood. It also aids in lymph drainage. With its 30 some odd active enzymes, wheatgrass juice is instrumental in the elimination of internal body waste.

The juice of wheatgrass itself is a rich green color with an unusual taste not suited for all palates. Therefore, it is recommended, at least at the beginning of a regimen, to combine the juice with other fresh vegetable and/or fruit juices.

Drinking as little as one ounce a day can improve your overall health, but the benefits of wheatgrass are best enjoyed when intake is gradually increased to a couple of ounces daily.
