Nutritional Value of Wheatgrass
If
you think you are missing any nutrients in your diet you will find
it in Wheatgrass.
The Amazing
Nutrients of Wheatgrass:
- It is a complete protein containing
over 20 essential and non-essential amino acids.
- In the Vitamin
department it contains twice as much Vit. A (Beta-Carotene) than
carrots, all the B vitamins including the elusive B-12,
more Vit. C than
oranges, Vit E, and Vit. K.
- Wheatgrass is an excellent source for
all
major and minor minerals, containing 92 of the 102 minerals found in
the soil. It is especially high in calcium, magnesium, manganese,
phosphorus and potassium, as well as trace minerals such as zinc and
selenium.
- Contains essential
fatty acids: Linolenic Acid and Linoleic Acid.
- It has over 80 different enzymes that have
thus far been discovered.
- And it is high in chlorophyll, which we will discuss
in a second.
So
if your looking for a protein,
vitamin, mineral, antioxidant, or enzyme supplement, here’s
where you’ll find it. It’s an all
in one, concentrated, overall source of nutrition. Charles
F. Schnabel, an agricultural chemist, discovered that 15 lbs. of
Wheatgrass is equivalent
to 350 lbs.
of the choicest
vegetables.

The Magic of
Chlorophyll in Wheatgrass
The
chlorophyll in wheatgrass acts like a magnet and attaches to all sorts
of trash floating around in the blood stream, including toxic metals
such as mercury. It will wash away drug deposits from the body,
neutralize toxins, helps to clean and purify the liver, prevents aging,
and stabilizes blood sugar levels (excellent for diabetics). It
enriches the blood; removes blood disorders, and lowers blood
pressure.
Many
women have a problem with low iron in their blood (anemia). Well,
here's your fix ladies. Experiments proved that severely anemic
rabbits make a rapid return to a normal blood count once chlorophyll is
administered. The reason it is so effective is because the
chemical structure of chlorophyll it is nearly identical to Hemin,
which is a part of Hemoglobin, the protein part
of the blood that carries oxygen. Because the body is able to
rebuild the blood with chlorophyll it is like virtually giving an
anemic patient a blood transfusion.
If
you’re an athlete I hope you thought about that last paragraph.
The chlorophyll will help build more red blood cells so that you can
carry more oxygen!
Many
runners have noticed a great improvement in their training when taking
grass. Bruce McVay from Salt Lake City, Utah is an ultra-distance
runner (races from 30 to 100 miles or more). He tried every food
enhancing supplement and natural food source to improve his health,
stamina, and oxygenation process. After learning about the
superior effects, he started taking daily doses of wheatgrass.
After 1 to 2 months of cleansing, which consisted of a few headaches
and itching, he noticed a drastic improvement in his performance,
energy, and stamina. Before taking wheatgrass he was always a
middle to rear of the pack racer. After a short time he was
winning these grueling races. Check out his victories in
“Wheatgrass Natures Finest Medicine” by Steve Meyerowitz.
The
chlorophyll in wheatgrass will also provide us with protection against
X-ray radiation from hospital equipment, televisions, computer screens,
transmitters and microwaves.
Chlorophyll
has long been famous for its ability to heal infected and ulcerated
wounds. Studies have proven that tissue cell activity and its
normal regrowth are definitely increased by using chlorophyll.
You can use this stuff anywhere on or in the body where there is
infection or disease. It’s great medicine for healing bleeding
gums, canker sores, trench mouth, pyorrhea, gingivitis, and even sore
throat. I can personally attest to whiter cleaner teeth after
holding a ¾ shot of wheatgrass juice in my mouth for about
15min. It is a great antibacterial cleanser.
I’ve
even noticed where some movie producers have added scenes that have
shown people chewing up different types of green herbs and then placing
the chewed pulp on the wounds of people and animals. If you ever
see this, now you’ll know why.
