its promoted a lot at healthfood stores and juice bars i see...any one live by it? I can't really trust the internet for information on it
I swear by it for that morning-after hangover relief. A shot of Wheatgrass, twice a day on an empty stomach, as well as a HUGE glass of fresh pressed veggie juice seem to knock the (rare) hangover I have on it's rear (I'm not a big drinker). I don't like powdered wheat grass nearly as much as fresh, but I have a hard time finding the fresh/frozen stuff around here. I don't know if it's as "miraculous" as "they" claim it to be, but I like the taste, and feel good after drinking it.
well i'll give it a try, thanks!
Is it good for anything besides hangovers? I don't drink or anything so that doesn't really apply to me!
This is from www.wheatgrass.ca:
- Two ounces of fresh wheatgrass juice is equivalent to the nutritional value of roughly 4 pounds of organic green vegetables in vitamin and mineral content.
- Wheatgrass rebuilds the blood stream.
- Helps prevent tooth decay.
- Improves the body's ability to heal wounds. On an empty stomach, it is assimilated into the blood in about 20 minutes.
- Creates an unfavorable environment for unfriendly bacteria growth.
- The many detergent factors of wheatgrass juice can drain the lymph system, carrying away many toxins from all body cells.
- Has the ability to break down poisonous carbon dioxide and release free oxygen.
- Wheatgrass juice has been shown to build red blood cells quickly after ingestion. It normalizes high blood pressure and stimulates healthy tissue-cell growth.
- Keeps hair from graying.
- Wheatgrass juice is very high in enzymes and chlorophyll. It contains up to 70% chlorophyll, which helps to purifies the blood.
- Wheatgrass juice washes drug deposits from the body.
- Neutralizes toxins and carcinogens in the body.
- Helps purify the liver.
- Wheatgrass Improves blood sugar disorders.
- Improves digestion.
- Removes heavy metals from the body.
- Reduces high blood pressure.
- Aids in the prevention and curing of cancer
- Wheatgrass Juice is a complete protein with about 30 enzymes (incredibly important for correct digestion) and about 20 amino acids which are the building blocks of protein.
- Increases hemoglobin production.
I don't know how much of the above is true, but I love it, it makes me feel great, and it tastes great. I found a place near my house that sells it frozen in 1oz cubes (basically a shot glass) 16.00 for 14 shots, which isn't bad.
