The Healing Powers of Wheatgrass

There are many rumors floating around about the benefits of wheatgrass, so I thought I would write a little on this subject. Some claim that drinking wheatgrass can heal all kinds of illnesses and health problems in humans. Others claim that it doesn't really do anything at all. To help answer this question, we can take a look at the one place that has focused on wheatgrass juice: The Hippocrates Health Institute. This place carries on where Ann Wigmore left off, providing guidance for healthy living that focuses on wheatgrass, raw and vegan diets, and a healthy lifestyle. The institute sees many people suffering from all kinds of sicknesses, and many have remarkable turnarounds. Take a look at their testimonials page to read what patients have to say. The ailments that have been healed include cancer, brain tumors, gallstones, weight problems, bone density, arthritis, seizures, and many others health problems.

After reading through some of these, it makes me want to keep drinking wheatgrass juice. I guess my problem is that I am very healthy, so I can't see the effects so well! But I haven't been to the doctor for years, and am in great shape, so I am going to keep drinking the juice to make sure I stay that way!  It is worth mentioning that wheatgrass juice is only one of many of the so called superfoods that can keep your body running at full seed.  These include acai berries, green tea, oregano, himalayan goji juice, and many other natural foods. 

If you are new to wheatgrass, this book gives you all the info you need about what wheatgrass is, what it can do for you, and how to grow it yourself.

Come On, Even A Kindergartener Can Grow Wheatgrass

That's right, I just read that a kindergarten class is growing, juicing, and drinking wheatgrass juice. There is a belief out there that growing wheatgrass is a daunting and complex task, but it is actually quite simple. I am pretty excited to hear this kind of stuff, since all I can remember eating at kindergarten was sloppy joes, pizza, and french fries--not exactly healthy stuff. In junior high school, our health & nutrition teacher actually taught us how to make fried donuts, ice cream sundaes, and spam sandwiches!!!

With a little direction from a local juice bar owner, 5 year olds are actually learning how to grow and juice wheatgrass. It is very important for kids to get a little lesson in eating healthy, since they are bombarded from all sides with junk food. I have been drinking wheatgrass juice pretty much every day for over 2 years now, and I haven't been to the doctor for that entire time. I also feel lucky to have been brought up by health-food crazy parents, and have grown into a healthy eater. If you haven't tried growing your own wheatgrass, give it a go! The worst thing that can happen is you screw up and try again!
