What are the health benefits of wheat grass powder?

Essentially, wheat grass powder is a dried form of the juice of the young wheat grass plant. This powder is created in such a way as to perfectly contain the same nutrition and health benefits as the juice, but in a much more convenient form. For those people who do not have the time to go to a health food store or grow their own wheatgrass at home, taking wheat grass powder is perfect.

The main health benefit of wheat grass powder is its cleansing and blood rebuilding capabilities. If you take it along with a healthy raw food diet, you will experience detoxification of your insides. Additionally, it contains high levels of vitamin C; 7 times more than oranges. Vitamin E and C are known to be excellent antioxidants. In addition to all this, there is natural chlorophyll and as many as 20 enzymes in wheat grass. These are important because they help your body in the digestion of food, tissue repair and even cell regeneration. Enzymes are highly heat sensitive and are destroyed at 116 degrees Fahrenheit. The process of making wheat grass powder is done at a low temperature to ensure they are still active.

So, in addition to the cleansing effects of wheat grass powder, it is also known as a blood builder. Chlorophyll is identical to the hemoglobin in human blood except that in your blood, the center atom is an iron molecule. In chlorophyll, the center atom is magnesium. Is this a coincidence? Even more amazing, the juice contains more than 5 times the iron of spinach.

Wheat grass powder is highly alkaline as well. The body has a natural acid alkaline balance. The blood is slightly alkaline. If you get too acidic, your body will have to work overtime to keep things balanced. This extra stress on your body can allow disease and illness to take over. Therefore, even if you decide not to take wheat grass powder, it is important to your long term health to get enough alkaline foods in your diet. No matter what you decide to purchase, fresh, powdered, etc, ensure that you take your health to heart. If you have a health challenge, please speak to your health care provider before making any drastic changes to your diet.
