DESCRIPTION
Some sources say that fifteen pounds of fresh wheatgrass has the nutritional value of 350 pounds of vegetables! Wheatgrass is used in the treatment of cancerous growths and other degenerative diseases. It is an excellent choice for use in the treatment of tumors. Regular consumption of wheatgrass helps cleanse the blood, organs, colon and gastrointestinal tract. Wheatgrass stimulates metabolism and enzyme activity. It also helps treat obesity by stabilizing the thyroid gland and suppressing the appetite. Fiber in wheatgrass aids in the digestive process, acting like a brush to clean out the colon. As it passes through the digestive tract, insoluble fiber remains mostly intact which helps keep bowel movements regular. The fiber in wheatgrass also has a bulking effect, which gives a feeling of fullness. Those who take wheatgrass feel full for a long time, enabling them to lessen the frequency of eating and lessen the amount of food intake. Alkaline foods help restore the balance between acidity and alkalinity in the body, and wheatgrass, an alkaline food, has been known to have very high alkalizing effects. Antioxidants. Wheatgrass also has a very high ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) level of 99, 750-120, 500 per 100 grams. ORAC is a standardized test adopted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to measure the Total Antioxidant Potency of foods and nutritional supplements. Wheatgrass therefore is a rich Antioxidant food as it contains selenium, laetrile, bioflavonoids, lutien, zeaxanthin and many other phytochemicals. In addition, it has many other vitamins like A, c, E, B12, and many amino acids. Chlorophyll, which is found abundantly in wheatgrass, protects from carcinogens by strengthening cell membranes, detoxifying the liver and the blood and chemically neutralizing pollution. It also counters the harmful effects of x-rays, chemotherapy and other environmental radiation. Chlorophyll is also a natural defense against aging thru its cell rejuvenating properties, thus helping guard against wrinkles, sagging skin and even whitening of hair. It also aids in increasing fertility and sexual function. Enzymes. Wheatgrass contains beneficial Enzymes. As we age, the enzymes in our body decrease, which makes the process of digesting foods more difficult. In fact, cells of elderly people have lost 90 percent of their original enzymatic content, according to GrowWheatGrass.com. Wheatgrass contains three main digestive enzymes—amylase, protease and lipase—to break down carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Enzymes also aids the kidneys in breaking down harmful substances like toxins accumulated from eating processed food, breathing polluted air and drinking impure water.TRANSCRIPT
