What is wheatgrass good for?
Wheatgrass, the juice of wheat sprouts, contains a huge amount of vitamins: A, E, C, K, B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, and B8. One serving of this juice replaces 2 kg of vegetables and fruits.
“Wheat germ juice is a good source of macro- and microelements. Of the one hundred and two known beneficial minerals, wheatgrass contains ninety-two of them,” says the expert.
Wheat germ juice contains 17 amino acids:
- lysine
- isoleucine
- tryptophan,
- phenylalanine,
- a-amino-b-oxybutyric acid,
- valine,
- methionine,
- alanine,
- arginine,
- aspartic acid,
- glutamic acid,
- amino acetic acid,
- histidine,
- proline
- serine,
- tyrosine.
The juice contains 70% chlorophyll, which is a very powerful natural energizer. “Chlorophyll is considered the blood of plants, but it is also useful for human blood. Chlorophyll qualitatively improves the condition of red blood cells. Higher-quality red blood cells can have a significant impact on overall health.
An increase in hemoglobin levels increases oxygen circulation, which increases energy and improves the functioning of cells throughout the body,” she added.
