Discover Seven Benefits of Drinking Wheatgrass Juice





The benefits of drinking wheatgrass juice can be considerable. Here are seven excellent reasons to drink wheatgrass juice:


  1. Wheatgrass is incredibly nutritional, just loaded with vitamins, minerals, trace elements and enzymes. It’s also rich in protein, containing all the essential amino acids as well as many others.

  2. It is liquid chlorophyll in a pure, easy-to-digest form. Chlorophyll is very similar to hemoglobin, which helps the blood carry oxygen to various parts of the body. Chlorophyll has been called the blood of plants and it helps to rebuild our own blood. Also, chlorophyll is known as a powerful detoxifier, helping to cleanse the liver, blood, cells and tissues.

  3. Wheatgrass juice is reputed to help with some skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema. When I was a guest at the Optimum Health Institute, my friend applied fresh wheatgrass juice to her skin that was afflicted with psoriasis and experienced considerable relief. This was in addition to drinking it daily. It is also said to help with dandruff.

  4. This green drink may help remove toxic metals—such as mercury, aluminum, copper, cadmium, and lead—that may be stored in the body.

  5. Another of the benefits of drinking wheatgrass juice is that it creates an unfavorable environment for harmful bacteria and viruses, allowing the body to heal itself.

  6. It’s easy and economical to grow wheatgrass at home and use your own wheatgrass juicer.

  7. Although they may not drink the juice, pets love the grass. My cat is thrilled with a new tray of wheatgrass. She brushes her face through the fragrant blades of grass and nibbles contently away at this treat. This is especially good for indoor cats, and it saves houseplants. Growing it yourself is much cheaper than buying one of those tiny containers of droopy wheatgrass you find in a pet store.

Thank You, Dr. Ann Wigmore!

wheatgrass and juice Before leaving this brief discussion of wheatgrass benefits, I must give credit to Dr. Ann Wigmore for bringing the nutritional gifts of wheatgrass to the public. In her book Why Suffer?: How I Overcame Illness & Pain Naturally, she writes about her discovery. She was reading her Bible, the Book of Daniel, chapter 4, verses 31-32. Here are her words:

Here I read that the dissolute King, Nebuchadnezzar, losing his mentality and his physical well-being, was instructed by a voice from Heaven to go into the fields and “eat grass as did the oxen.” The monarch followed this advice and in time regained his throne, his spirituality, and his physical health.

Dr. Wigmore used this grass at her healing center, wrote about it, had scientific studies done, and ended up helping a great many people. Raw food healing centers currently use it as part of their programs. If you want to give your health a boost, it’s worth your serious consideration.
