Wheatgrass Juice: Is It Magic

Wheatgrass is about 70% chlorophyll. All green plants are filled with chlorophyll and it is the basis of all plant life. The structure of it is close to hemoglobin and its molecular structure is almost identical. Magnesium is at the core of chlorophyll and iron at the core of hemoglobin.

Chlorophyll is the basis of all plant life.  Its structure is similar to hemoglobin and the molecular structure is virtually the same.  Iron is at the core of hemoglobin and magnesium is the center of chlorophyll.

All plants are loaded with chlorophyll; some are heavily laden with it.  Wheatgrass juice in particular is loaded with chlorophyll.  It is about 70% chlorophyll.  Because of the chlorophyll, I have been a fan of wheatgrass juice.  It is a fountain of chlorophyll and it brings to us cleansing goodness.

Wheatgrass juice is not magic and will not heal your body just because you have an ailment. In fact I don’t know of any substance, pill or person who has the ability to heal. Our bodies were designed by God heal on its own. How well that happens depends, in very large part, on how well you take care of your body every day. That begins with diet, exercise, vitamins if needed, and rest.  It also depends on the foods you eat and drink, which includes wheatgrass juice.

If you are in the market for a wheatgrass juicer, you can find one at Healthy Kitchen Plus.  I think you will not only be pleased with the quality, but the pricing will bring a smile to your face.

Whole Wheat

There are several major health benefits when you have a steady diet of whole wheat and other whole grains products.

• Whole wheat and other whole grains are an excellent antioxidant.
• They reduce the formation of fat that surround internal organs in the body, plus it reduces overall body fat.  Whole grains can help reduce obesity.
• Whole wheat helps to lower LDL and triglycerides.
• Whole grain products help to reduce hypertension.
• They lower the risk of cancer.
• Cornmeal and other whole grains are aids in controlling diabetes.

Knowing all of these major benefits, it is hard to imagine eating refined flour as a steady diet. If you are eating refined flour, it might taste good, but is it good for you? The truth is that it is bad for you.

For example, we know that the glycemic index of both whole-wheat and refined flour is the same, but there is a difference in how the body reacts to these two types of flour. If grains are kept close to their original form, it slows starch digestion. When digestion is slower, it helps to prevent blood sugar spikes. Over time, it could cause insulin resistance.  We also know that whole grain goodness also puts roughage in your diet which is another essential for great health.

Since great health is a goal for almost everyone, we have some things at Healthy Kitchen Plus that might make your life a lot better.  Our grain mills and grain grinders are among the very best and at prices that will make you smile.
