Keep that skin glowing and weight shifting, Working from the inside-out….Wheatgrass…….WOW!

So, I wanted to highlight the benefits of one of the most naturals things we have available to us, wheatgrass!

I have long heard of, but actually only in the last few months gotten into the extremely amazing benefits of Wheatgrass!

I have suffered with Acne since I was 13/14 and in school it was bad! I wish I knew then what I knew now…but alas., my acne cleared up for the most part in my 20’s but since last Oct made a re-appearance with a BANG, painful, sore, irritating, itchy and made me feel awful about my skin (I know sounds like a pro-active advert) but seriously I felt horrible, and conscious about it. I was looking for all sorts of remedies and none worked, UNTIL I want back to basics and worked from the inside out…..I introduced Wheatgrass into my diet….it has been a life saver, combined with cod liver oil tablets, juices and organic face wash and moisturizer my acne is almost clear… :O ! IT works wonders!!! This is just one story of mine about the benefits of wheatgrass and working on your body from the “Inside-Out”,

Also it aids in weightloss: Before i get to chemical here, i'll break it down:

1) When toxins enter your body they have an affinity for fat cells, due to the fact that they are fat soluble. Toxins attach themselves to fat cells and release a hormone called Leptin, when to much toxins are taken in through bad food,drinks etc, leptin is released repeatdly causing the receptors to burn out. Remember, Leptin is the hormone that tells the brain to burn fat for energy. Therefore, weight gain that does not respond to exercise or diet is inevitably due to Leptin resistance.

2) The toxins also cause the release of chemicals called cytokines that damage Leptin receptors in the brain (hypothalamus). Once the receptors to Leptin have been damaged, Weight Loss Resistance is only the first of many problems.

Therefore.......Wheatgrass eliminates alot of these toxins that get into your body through bad foods, drinks, cosmetics.

NOW….let me give you all the other amazing benefits you will gain, it is a super food, trust me!

·        Lowers blood pressure. It cleanses the blood, organs and intestinal tract of debris. It also aids in reducing blood pressure by dilating the blood pathways throughout the body.

 

·        Stimulates the thyroid  gland and metabolism, correcting obesity, indigestion, and a host of other complaints.

·         It can be used to relieve many internal pains, and has been used successfully to treat peptic ulcers, ulcerative colitis, constipation, diarrhea, and other complaints of the intestinal tract.

·        Is a powerful detoxifier, liver and blood protector. The enzymes and amino acids found in wheatgrass can protect us from carcinogens like no other food or medicine. It strengthens our cells, detoxifies the liver and bloodstream, and chemically neutralizes environmental pollutants.

 

·        Fights tumors and neutralizes toxins. The many active compounds found in grass juice cleanse the blood and neutralize and digest toxins in our cells.

·        Has remarkable similarity to our own blood. The second important nutritional aspect of chlorophyll is its remarkable similarity to hemoglobin, the compound that carries oxygen in the blood. Chlorophyll is soluble in fat particles, and fat particles are absorbed directly into the blood via the lymphatic system, that chlorophyll can also be absorbed in this way. In other words, when the "blood" of plants is absorbed in humans it is transformed into human blood, which transports nutrients to every cell of the body.

·        Externally applied to the skin can help eliminate itching almost immediately.

·        Will soothe sunburned skin and act as a disinfectant. Rubbed into the scalp before a shampoo, it will help mend damaged hair and alleviate itchy, scaly, scalp conditions.

·        Is soothing and healing for cuts, burns, scrapes, rashes, poison ivy, athlete's foot, insect bites, boils, sores, open ulcers, tumors, and so on. Use as a poultice and replace every two to four hours.

·        Works as a sleep aide. Merely place a tray of living wheatgrass near the head of your bed. It will enhance the oxygen in the air and generate healthful negative ions to help you sleep more soundly.

·        Enhances your bath. Add some to your bath water and settle in for a nice, long soak.

·        BIG ONE- Sweetens the breath and body odor’s because of the high content of Chlorophyll and firms up and tightens gums. Just gargle with the juice.

·        Neutralizes toxic substances like cadmium, nicotine, strontium, mercury, and polyvinyl chloride.

It benefits are unreal, I can’t believe more people don’t take this, ok it’s not the most amazing taste, but how amazing does straight vodka taste to you, be honest, it taste’s rotten straight , yet most of us have no problem shoving it back and it unlike wheatgrass does not come with the same body benefits, it will in fact be so nice as to reverse the effects vodka takes on your body (don’t get me wrong, I’m not bashing on drinking peeps, I like a drink) but you see my point I hope! One quick shot and there you go….body benefit done J.

Grow it yourself or buy it dried organic in health food shop like I do and mix it in with some water or your juice/smoothie!!
