Can Wheat Grass Help you Repair your Slow Metabolism? Try this Delicious Turkey Soup
Chlorophyll is not just for plants. Humans can benefit from it greatly as well, and fresh wheatgrass is the best source for its potent, plant-powered healing. Chlorophyll is antiseptic, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory, and it detoxifies the liver, regulates blood sugar, and improves feelings of wellness. It is also a potent enzyme delivery system, enhancing your body’s ability to easily digest the food you eat. On top of being packed with chlorophyll, wheatgrass also has high levels of protein, vitamin E, magnesium, phosphorus, and many other essential nutrients. One study at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center found positive results when using wheatgrass to treat ulcerative colitis.
Some people can’t take the very strong taste of wheatgrass shots, and it even gives some people a stomachache. If that’s you, no need to choose this one, but if you can handle it, then the benefits are immense. Some people add wheatgrass shot to fresh juice, to make it easier to take, and this is also a fine way to get that chlorophyll. If you are gluten-intolerant, never fear - wheatgrass has not yet developed the trouble-causing proteins in wheat. Some very sensitive people, such as those with severe celiac disease, may want to avoid wheatgrass, just in this case.
What you Need:
- A healthy food store or gym that sells wheatgrass shots, or your own wheatgrass and juicer (it’s much easier to buy them, though - some stores sell them frozen in 2- to 4- ounce portions)
Step by Step
- Wheatgrass can be bitter or intensely grassy, and some people don’t like the taste. This is why we call them shots! Pour just 2 ounces in a shot glass, and bottoms up! You’ll get a bit of a jolt but a ton of health benefits.
