Wheat Grass "The Complete Food"
What is Wheat Grass?
-
Wheatgrass is one of the richest natural resources of vitamins A,C,E and K, the complete B-complex, and Beta-Carotene.
-
Wheatgrass is the richest source of Chlorophyll, which is the 'blood' of plants, with a molecular structure that is almost identical to the hemoglobin molecule of human blood.
-
Wheatgrass provides the body with the protein building blocks (amino acids) without having to use up energy in breaking the proteins ingested down into the building blocks.
What will it do for you?
- Drinking Wheatgrass and other green sprouted juices helps your body to build red blood cells which carry oxygen to every cell.
- Chlorophyll helps wash drug deposits from the body, purifies the blood and organs, and counteracts toxins.
- Wheatgrass helps remove toxic heavy metals (lead, mercury, aluminum) that have become stored in the tissues.
- Wheat grass juice helps to increase the enzyme level in our cells, which aids in the rejuvenation of the body.
Adding wheatgrass to your life will be an asset to your health! Remember it is not about the Food in your Life ---- It is about the Life in your Food!!
