Wheatgrass Juice Benefits

Wheatgrass juice benefits us because it is one of the most nutrient dense health drinks in existence. For this reason it is a drink that is touted by many health professionals, nutritionists, natural healers and health enthusiasts alike. So what are the amazing health benefits of wheatgrass juice?

1) Building Red Blood Cells. One of the main wheatgrass juice benefits can be attributed to its deep concentration of the potent antioxidant chlorophyll. Chlorophyll plays a similar role in plants as the red blood cells in our own body and has subsequently been labeled by some as the ‘blood of plants’. The chemicals structure of chlorophyll is, atom for atom, identical to the hemoglobin of our own red blood with the exception of the central atom. However, this is no problem because when we consume chlorophyll our bodies can metabolize it directly into 100% hemoglobin and therefore improve our own red blood cell count!

2) Powerful Internal Cleansing. Wheatgrass juices are a great source of a detoxification agent called saponin as well as many other plant chemicals that can aid in detoxification (such as chlorophyll which helps cleanse the blood). This rich supply of natural detoxifying agents helps to clear out our lymphatic system of hardened mucous. break down acids that have become crystallized (such as uric acid that can cause gout) and help clear out old fecal matter from the intestines that is poisoning us everyday. Wheatgrass is therefore one of the best natural and internal cleansing drinks that we know of.

3) A Complete Protein. Although wheatgrass juice is not abundant in protein it is none-the-less a complete protein made up of all the essential amino acids that we need to create and maintain every single cell in our body. Without enough amino acids in our diet, every part of us will slowly become impaired from our hair to our nervous system and onto our bones.

4) Protection From Disease. Wheatgrass juices are a good source of all three vitamins that are needed to keep our immune system strong and protect us from disease – these vitamins are A, C and E. Together these vitamins are needed to synthesis the majority of the antibodies that make up the white blood cells of our immune system that defend against viruses, bacteria and other kinds of pathogens.
