Wheatgrass and how come it's so good for you!


Just about everyday I stroll into my local health food mart and deli called Rainbow Acres. In the back there's a little deli-juice bar that serves great food and makes the most delicious natural juices around. Everyday I go in for my usual two ounces of wheatgrass with ginger and pound it down. The health benefits of wheatgrass are amazing. Here are a few of the perks:

-Aids in the prevention of and fight against infections and improves the body's ability to heal wounds
-helps removes heavy metals from the body
-helps with skin problems such as eczema and psoriasis
-Chlorophyll in wheatgrass helps eliminate body odors
-The high magnesium content in chlorophyll builds enzymes that restore the sex hormones 
-helps prevent tooth decay
-the chlorophyll helps purify the liver 
-arrests the growth of unwanted bacteria
-is an energizer for the body and mind
-is great for constipation and keeps the bowels open
-is non-allergenic
-aids in the prevention and fight against cancer

These are just some of the benefits that this little patch of grass once juiced can give you. 
I highly recommend it to anyone out there. Sure the taste at first is not so pleasant. But like anything , it can become an acquired taste and as soon as you have it regularly , you'll enjoy it. 
So here's a shot to salute to. DRINK UP!!!!
