Become REALLY green!!


Tried Wheatgrass yet?? No? well what are you waiting for?
It's like a whole meadow in a glass...
and what does the equivalent of chewing your front lawn do for your health?
well have a squiz at this list and tell me it's not worth a try...

The high chlorophyll content of wheatgrass juice causes increased Haemoglobin production in the body which increases the oxygen carrying capabilities of the blood. The increased capability of the blood to carry oxygen has a number of health benefits including purification of the blood, improving blood sugar disorders, helping combat toxins such as carbon monoxide and other traffic pollutants, cigarette smoke and heavy metals that can get into the blood.

The brain and other tissues function best when they are in a highly oxygenated environment.

Wheatgrass juice’s high vitamin content is of benefit to some skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis and also helps give healthy looking hair. Wheatgrass is also said to benefit dandruff problems.

Many people cite wheatgrass juice as having cancer preventing properties due to it’s carcinogen and toxin neutralising abilities.

Other wheatgrass health benefits include:

Improved digestion
Reducing blood pressure
Improved ability of the body to heal wounds
Chlorophyll found in wheatgrass can prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.
Helping prevent tooth decay
Has anti-ageing abilities and can keep the hair from greying.

Wow, call me vain if you must but I do rather like the sound of the anti-ageing abilities!! and improving the ability of the body to heal wounds?? How much do I need to drink before I become 'super hero' stylie?? Come to think of it...the new SUPER Street Wardens that patrol the streets of Boscombe have green uniforms, they must be full of wheatgrass...see my brain is already functioning better!? and that's just after 35ml of juiced wheatgrass that I bought from Brian at Wheatgrass World.
