Wheat Grass
Nutrition - Chlorophyll
The bio available chlorophyll found in organic wheatgrass juice can protect us from carcinogens (cancer causing substances) like no other food can. Studies in animals indicate that it helps to reduce absorption of a variety of serious carcinogens (Zeigler, 1995). It strengthens the cells, detoxifies the liver and bloodstream and chemically neutralises the polluting elements in our environment.
Given that the liver is the main organ of detoxification in the body it is important to note that chlorophyll stimulates and regenerates it. Three compounds found in the juice of organic wheatgrass that helps the liver with this are:
- Choline, which prevents the deposition of fats
- Magnesium that draws out the excess fat
- Potassium which invigorates and stimulates.
Chlorophyll is also a good eliminator of bodily odours. Taken regularly it will eliminate bad breath, smelly feet and perspiration odours.
