2. It contains anti-oxidants and anti-carcinogens

You would say yeah yeah everything these days full of antioxidants, you won’t believe me most of the packaged food items do contains anti-oxidants yeah that’s true ,but sorry for popping the happy bubble but those antioxidants are not made for your body they are added in food to protect it from oxidation (sorry if you didn’t read chemistry)

Wheatgrass contains anti-oxidants that will really work to remove those free radicles that tend to age everything in your body.

A research also showed that wheatgrass juice can help fight cancer.

Another research showed that wheatgrass when used with conventional cancer therapies proved to be more beneficial for patients by minimizing the adverse effects of conventional treatments.

A study also showed that wheatgrass juice decrease the risk of bone marrow function deterioration of patients which were treated for breast cancer using chemotherapy.

3. Clears your skin and help fight acne and psoriasis.

The chlorophyll in wheatgrass (the pigment that makes it green)is anti-bacterial and anti-oxidant and can help in the prevention of pimples.

It was also reported that wheatgrass can be used in the treatment of eczema and psoriasis.

And one strange thing , wheatgrass even reverses greying of hairs and restore it’s normal color. Throw the Dyes in garbage my friends , wheatgrass to the rescue.

4. May reduce inflammation.

You won’t believe if I told you that most of the issues in your body including heart disease to cancer and even autoimmune disease are linked to one bad guy named “inflammation”.

But wheatgrass juice help reduce inflammation, one study showed that group of 23 people who consumed wheatgrass juice daily got much relief from ulcerative colitis (inflammation of large intestine).

5. Is good for Diabetes.

Simply by adding only 15g of wheatgrass to certain foods will lower the glycemic index of the food.

It also help lowering blood sugar levels due to some components that are similar to insulin in function.

It also promote overall health development in Diabetic patients.

Dr. Strange said ‘warning should be told before spells.’

But don’t worry I got it covered here.

If you have kidney issues then do use wheatgrass before consulting your doctor, because magnesium in wheatgrass may be bit problematic for you.

And if you are planning to use it fresh then do wash it carefully because it’s grown in soil and may be contaminated with some bacteria or fungus.

Plus pregnant ladies ,I am sorry, but you know you should always consult your doctor before taking anything new in your system.

Additional info.

Your body may take time to adjust with wheatgrass it may show little symptoms like nausea, headache, fever, or stomach issues, but these issue will subside after a week of daily use of wheatgrass juice. Don’t try to drink a whole glass start with small doses and gradually increase it up to 1 cup per day.

Even if you are thinking that wheatgrass may cause some issues in my body and other negative things ,then my friend you don’t know the fact that all the drug and pills ever made comes with some side effects and regular usage of those pill may help to mask off the symptoms but won’t treat the cause of that symptom.

No one died using wheatgrass but many people died due to a harmless painkiller overdose.

Think again and always do a bit of research on your own before doing anything.

God bless us all.
