Wheatgrass shot

One of the most popular juices at the moment is a shot of wheatgrass. Impossible to digest when chewed, when juiced wheatgrass has a number of remarkable health properties.

Perhaps the best introduction to this healing agent is to read the works of Ann Wigmore.

The purported health benefits of wheatgrass juice include:

• improves the digestive system
• prevents cancer, diabetes and heart disease
• cures constipation
• detoxifies heavy metals from the bloodstream
• helps make menopause more manageable
• promotes general well-being

While these claims have not been scientifically validated the importance of a natural, organic and semi-raw diet to health and well being has, and wheatgrass can be an integral part of a healthy diet if desired.

Wheatgrass is either combined with other green vegetables or served alone in a shot glass.
