Benefits of Wheatgrass + Wheatgrass Green Smoothie

Wheatgrass is considered a superfood with many health benefits, and it is recommended that you should consume 3 ounces a day. The benefits of wheatgrass can be attributed to the fact that it contains antioxidants, 17 different amino acids (the building blocks of protien), a large amount of chlorophyll and virtually every nutrient you need.

Chlorophyll contains enzymes and super- oxide dismutase, a copper-containing protein found in mature red blood cells. This enzyme decomposes superoxide radicals in the body into a more manageable form, thereby helping to slow down the aging process.

Wheatgrass is said to be an effective healer because it contains all minerals known to man, and vitamins A, B-complex, C, E, l and K. It is also known to be extremely rich in protein.

It has been said that wheatgrass helps with conditions such as anemia, diabetes, tooth decay, high blood pressure, digestion problems, high cholesterol, bladder infections, kidney stones, common colds, bronchitis, fever, sore throat, gout, wound healing, liver disorders, ulcerative colitis, arthritis, skin conditions, and even cancer when consumed on a daily basis.

Wheatgrass is considered a medicinal superfood, and provides you with all the nutrients your body needs for vibrant and healthy energy. If you are looking for an affordable wheatgrass option, you should check out Sun Pyramid Health’s Organic Wheatgrass product.
