Dear Reader,
It seems like everywhere you turn today you hear the word GREEN...
green buildings, green fabrics, green restaurants, green cleaning
products, green this, green that. Green choices, green decisions...
Good grief!! It's like the world is trying to be earth-friendly in a
hurry to make up for the lack of care we've given to the planet over
the last 50 or so years. Hopefully, by making earth-healthy green
choices in the "11th hour" we can undo some of the damage we've caused
in terms of pollution and global warming.
Meanwhile, this same sort of "hurry up and fix it" thinking can
apply to health care. Over the years, it's easy to do environmental
damage to our bodies, contaminating it with pollutants, poor food
choices and lack of exercise. Then in the "11th hour," when we're
feeling unhealthy, or perhaps have become ill, we try to make up for it
in a hurry, basically becoming green in our self-care. We start
watching what we eat; we start taking vitamins, maybe even join a
health club. All the while, hoping that all the years of unhealthy
choices can be repaired. The bad news is, it just doesn't work that
way--with the planet or our health.
But there is some really good news--and that good news is green!
It's wheatgrass power, and you can't get any greener than wheatgrass!
The juice from wheatgrass is truly a gift of nature, it's actually the
blood of nature, and it's a perfect fit for dynamite health. Since
ancient times, the wheat berry has been considered the most valuable of
foods. Likewise, the chlorophyll from the growing wheatgrass has
proven itself to be the most powerful blood cleanser on earth. The
solid content of juice made from wheatgrass is 70% chlorophyll, the
sunshine element from the plant that rejuvenates the human body.
Chlorophyll is often called "the blood of plant life" because it
closely resembles the molecular structure of human red blood cells.
Chlorophyll is one of nature's greatest healers for conditions both
inside and outside of the body, and it is considered a survival food
because it feeds us dynamic nutrients, yet the body gives up very
little energy to assimilate it.
Chlorophyll is the basis of all plant life; it is truly liquid
sunshine. Chlorophyll absorbs energy from the sun and in some
mysterious way it uses it to create sugar, starch and proteins.
Science has proven not only that chlorophyll will stop the growth and
development of unfriendly bacteria, but it is actually akin to human
blood. Studies show that chlorophyll has the same chemical stucture as
hemoglobin, the red cells in human blood. Both chlorophyll (wheatgrass
juice) and hemoglobin consist in part of similar atoms. The only
difference between them is that in human blood the metallic atom
consists of iron; while in chlorophyll, this atom is magnesium.
When you think about all the many remarkable benefits of
wheatgrass, it's crazy not to be taking advantage of it for great
heath--for green health.

There are several ways to go about taking wheatgrass. You can buy a
wheatgrass juicing machine, and juice your own. Wheatgrass is fun to
grow, or you can buy it freshly grown from a health food store. Of
course, the taste is usually a bit off-putting, because it tastes
pretty much like a freshly mown field of grass, in a glass! Some
health food stores sell "shots" of wheatgrass juice. You can get
about one ounce of wheatgrass juice for about $3 to $10. You can also
buy wheatgrass juice pre-bottled, however, the taste of that mown field
is still there... I've found the easiest way to consume wheatgrass
juice, and the most economical, is in supplement form. Depending on
the supplement, it is the equivalent to consuming a giant green leafy
salad! Studies show that 15 pounds of fresh wheatgrass is equivalent
in nutritional value to 350 pounds of the choicest vegetables. You can easily pump up your pH level with wheatgrass. pH stands
for "potential of Hydrogen," and is the ratio measurement for acidity
and alkalinity. The perfect pH level for humans is 6.8 to 7.2, and by
maintaining this level, the trillions of cells in your body are free to
absorb and use vitamins and other nutrients, and to excrete the waste.
When your diet includes higher amounts of fat, sugar and animal
protein, your body becomes more acidic and the cellular waste will
ferment, rot, and not exit your body. When this waste doesn't get
eliminated, it causes pain in your tissues, muscles, joints and major
organs, setting the stage for illness and disease. The best way to
reduce this acidity is with alkalizing foods such as wheatgrass.
According to Nobel Prize winner Otto Warburg, cancer cells cannot grow
in an oxygen-rich environment with a balanced pH. There's no super
food on earth that promises so much health for so very
little.
There are also some fantastic combination formulas available that
bring together the alkalizing benefits of wheatgrass, lemon grass and
barley grass into one energizing, immunity-enhancing green formula.
Wheatgrass has been called the nectar of rejuvenation, and it's easy to
see why. Wheatgrass is rich in enzymes, vitamins, hormones and nucleic
acids. It has widespread effectiveness, but its three most important
health roles are: blood purification, liver detoxification and colon
cleansing. These three components are the foundation of super great
health.
Barley grass and wheatgrass are both abundant sources of
superoxide dismutase (SOD). This is a powerful antioxidant and
anti-aging enzyme. SOD is a proven anti-inflammatory for arthritis,
edema, gout, and bursitis. Lemon Grass is another fantastic cleanser
that helps detoxify the liver, pancreas, kidney, bladder and digestive
tract. It helps cut down uric acid, cholesterol, excess fats and other
acid wastes while stimulating digestion and blood circulation. If you
want to cleanse your colon and liver, nourish your major organs, boost
your energy, this combination absolutely cannot be beat.
Taking this superfood combination may help turn around poor health
in no time, making up for the many years of polluting the environment
of our health. It’s like putting lots of "green" into the bank account
of your health.
So invest in your health, it's the best "green" decision you can make!!
