Beneficial Uses:
Wheat Grass is said to improve and purify our blood in many ways. It is believed to alkalize the body and restore our blood to a healthy pH balance when our modern diets - with too many processed foods, along with the stresses of our lives - make our blood too acidic. A consequence of this means that our bodies store too much water and build up cholesterol in the arteries to protect us from this blood imbalance. Wheat Grass's high alkalinity helps to neutralize the acids and toxins in the blood.
Wheat Grass is thought to have a great effect on the blood. It is said to purify and increase hemoglobin production (red blood cell count), improve blood sugar disorders and reduce high blood pressure (by reducing excess cholesterol in the blood). The chlorophyll molecule is similar in structure to hemoglobin, which is why Wheat Grass, as a chlorophyll-rich supplement, is believed to help blood flow and generally detoxify the body.
Wheat Grass is said to increase stamina and energy, as well as stimulate metabolism. The restored alkalinity and neutralized acid production (along with Wheat Grass's chlorophyll content) are thought to help improve digestion, increase metabolism, increase vigor and recover swiftly from stress or illness.
