Getting more greens into your diet

CARA’S HEALTHY LIVING

 

Get adequate greens into your diet.

 

 

Isn’t it frustrating when you make enormous strides in eliminating toxic, poisonous foods from your diet. You stopped drinking soda, got rid of all the chips, replaced sugary cereals with low sugar whole grains.  You have managed to add more salads into your diet but short of salad, how can you get more green leafy veggies into your diet in a pinch.  I have the perfect solution..WHEATGRASS.

 

What is wheatgrass?  Wheat grass is the baby sproutlings of the red wheat plant.  It is best taken in one ounce shot servings of its juice which is sweet and fresh tasting and has tremendous health benefits.  More specifically one ounce of this green gold nectar is equivalent of  eating 2 ½ lbs of raw greens.  Pretty amazing huh?  Wait there’s more….

 

Wheatgrass is almost identical in molecular structure to hemoglobin, because of this gift from nature wheatgrass makes an excellent blood builder and cleanser.  The properties in wheatgrass act as a potent antibacterial as well as binds to toxic cancer causing heavy metals and guides them out of the body to be flushed away.  Wheatgrass is living food full of enzymes. One specific enzyme, called P4D1 actually has the ability to repair compromised DNA, keeping its integrity intact.  DNA damage is implicated in a wide range of ailments from cancer to heart disease. Wheatgrass comes in as a handyman so to speak and fixes the damage caused by environmental toxins and other free radicals that we are constantly exposed to everyday.

 

Wheatgrass is rich in Vitamins A, C, B as well as a broad spectrum of minerals because it takes up all the minerals from the soil in which it is grown.  Wheatgrass is high in protein containing 17 amino acids and about 19mg of Chlorophyll per ounce.

 

Ounce for ounce Wheatgrass could be considered Green Gold, because its nutritional value far exceeds that of your average tossed salad. It alkalizes the body and assists in putting the blood into proper PH balance and we all know disease cannot live in alkaline environments.

 

So next time you are in a rush and there isn’t a green salad to be found….seek out a shot of wheatgrass.  Wheatgrass comes fresh ( which is the best choice) frozen, or dried and added to water as cleansing drink to be taken as much as three times a day.  I hope you take the time to try wheatgrass and I wish you health and happy living.  If you have any questions about this article feel fee to contact me……..
