How Healthy is Wheatgrass?

During the growth cycle of wheat, wheat reaches a certain place where it looks just like long grass. This is called Wheatgrass and it's tremendously good for you. You can consume it in liquid form as a juice or you can even purchase it in powder form in many health food stores and even on line.

The juice is made by literally placing the grass in a juicer and they freeze dry the Wheatgrass to get it into a powder form. If you are leading a very busy life, then I recommend you take the powder, since it is much more convenient, but if you have the time, you can plant your own wheat in your garden and you can juice your own wheat grass in your kitchen!

There are so many benefits of wheatgrass juice, as it is tremendously nutritional. It contains many minerals, vitamins, enzymes and trace elements. It also has a percentage of amino acids which will aid cellular renewal. The chlorophyll is a strong detoxifying agent and will aid cleansing of the cells, tissues liver and blood.

Some believe it removes toxic metals from your body, for example mercury, but this is yet to be proved. There might not be scientific proof yet, but don't let it put you off drinking the juice or powder, the vitamins and minerals alone is reason enough to incorporate it into your diet.

I recommend you don't give any wheatgrass to your pets that is in concentrated form. But, if you can put out some wheatgrass on the floor for them to enjoy. Most cats absolutely love nibbling on the grass and playing in it. Mold sometimes forms on Wheatgrass grown indoors, keep an eye out for this and rather throw away any trays with mold problems.

Wheatgrass juice has an acquired taste! It's best taken in a small shot glass with a quick gulp. I wouldn't advise trying to drink it slowly as the taste will probably put you off and you wouldn't want to drink it again. If you have led a very unhealthy lifestyle then you might experience nausea and a slightly upset stomach if you drink many doses.

Your body will begin to cleanse itself which normally will make you feel a little sick at first! Wheatgrass might not be the best tasting product on the market, but it's definitely worth it to cope with the taste if you take into account all the good that it will be doing inside your body!
