Super Food Supplement?

20/08/2007

With doctors and health practitioners recommending a diet rich in leafy green vegetables, it has emerged that wheatgrass is perhaps the most efficient and effective way of getting the same nutrients that those vegetables provide, but with a fraction of the consumption.

Wheatgrass is frequently found in health food supplements as it has a high concentration of minerals, vitamins, protein, enzymes and chlorophyll, probably because out of the 102 minerals found in soil it is able to absorb 92 of them.  It is hailed as a super food as it contains virtually every main mineral, vitamin and amino acid that the human body needs for its nutritional requirement plus the chlorophyll content works to draw out toxins in the body.

Wheatgrass is the wheat plant when it is only 1 to 2 weeks old and the nutritional content of 15 pounds of it is equal to 350 pounds of vegetables. It also yields a generous amount of juice per pound when juiced.

Some of the reported benefits for wheatgrass are that it helps to remove heavy metals from the body, improves the body's healing ability, cleans skin which in turn can help with psoriasis and eczema problems, aids in preventing tooth decay and assists regulation of blood sugar problems.
