Wheatgrass, an essential superfood

Monday is Health & Fitness day at AlexShalman.Com

Over the years I have researched and consumed my fair share of various vitamins, minerals and supplements. Some helped me get thinner, leaner, more muscular while others boosted my immunity and concentration. Since I have previously shared three of my favorite Nature’s Medicines, I thought I would reveal one more today.

Benefits of wheatgrass

Body Cleanser: not only does wheatgrass drain the lymph nodes and carry toxins away from cells, it also promotes regularity, consistency, and frequency of your stool.
Nutritious: some research claims that a single serving of wheatgrass equals to 2.5 lbs of dark green leafy vegetables. Being composed of 70% chlorophyll, containing many enzymes, amino acids and being an excellent source of calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, sulphur, cobalt, and zinc is a huge plus as well.
Body builder: sparing you the scientific data, wheatgrass normalizes high blood pressure and stimulates healthy tissue cell growth.
Energizer: the nutrients in wheatgrass are optimal food for your body. Your body is fed and ready for action. Some even compare the boost to 2 cups of coffee. Since I have been taking wheatgrass for so long, it feels like status quo to me.
Weight control: since wheatgrass is so dense in vitamins and minerals, you’re body’s appetite is ‘quenched’ shortly after ingestion.

Other health benefits include:

neutralizing toxins and carcinogens in the body
improving blood sugar disorders
helping prevent tooth decay
increasing hemoglobin production
keeping hair from graying
improving digestion
reducing high blood pressure
aiding in the prevention and curing of cancer

The downside of wheatgrass is that when consumed in liquid form it tastes horrible. I tried different methods of preparing it, such as mixing it with honey and into shakes, but it still didn’t do it for me. Not until I discovered wheatgrass in pill form. You take seven of these little green pills, and you get the full serving of wheatgrass without the after taste.

(Disclaimer: this is not a paid review, and I still take wheatgrass to this very day.)

I order my wheatgrass right from www.wheatgrass.com and get 1400 tablets since it’s the best value for my money.
