Chat out the chat bag..

maybe one day, i need a proper juicer.

i just made a ghetto swamp cooler out of a small fan and an empty tidy cats bucket. its ok, but it should work a lot better when i get the frozen 2 liter bottles in it. i threw those in the freezer first, but it will be awhile. i have a side by side with an icemaker, but the water line is not hooked up. if it was i could just fill it with plain old ice. i really should have done it days ago, ive just been lazy.

 

I would gag if I drank that

 

you can also get a juicer that does wheat grass too
i have a electric juicer and a manual wheat grasser
last time i was sick was over eight years ago
maybe even longer cuz time really does go by fast
and im pretty sure too its the two daily ounces of wheatgrass
that is keeping me healthy
plus i do eat a lot of raw almonds that may help too
......... it may be a lot of things that attribute to staying healthy..
....but the wheatgrass is off the charts with benefits....

 

About the wheatgrass...

Is it the same as wheat, as in whole wheat? I know I could do google "research"...but since you're here, and I'm certain you know, I want to pick your brain.

One of my crazy cousins (the one that told me to "Cut Out All Bread"), also said wheat is Not Good For You!!! She is REAL smart, but I've known her long enough to know to listen with maybe half an ear when she tells me stuff.

(about the cuz...I'm not kidding...her IQ is off the frickin' charts, but sometimes it's the most intelligent people that get off on tangents, unable to find moderation.)

 

Wheatgrass is one of the most potently healthy substances on earth. Yet for some reason it is still not mainstream – even though there are thousands of wheatgrass benefits that are so clear and felt so quickly. Since I’ve been using wheatgrass I’ve noticed my energy levels go sky high, my skin clear up and colds, coughs and illnesses disappear forever – and these are just a few of the wheatgrass benefits I’ve noticed! Others have seen their gray hairs vanish, Rosacea clear up, bad breath subside, allergies clear up and a whole lot more.

Wheatgrass benefits are so easy to achieve and feel because:

30mls of freshly squeezed wheatgrass juice (a wheatgrass shot!) is equivalent in nutritional value to 1kg of leafy green vegetables
Wheatgrass contains over 90 minerals, including high concentrations of the most alkaline minerals: potassium, calcium, magnesium and sodium
It contains the essential enzymes: Protease (assists in protein digestion), Cytochrome Oxidase (a powerful anti oxidant), Amylase (facilitates digestion), Lipase (a fat splitting enzyme), Transhydrogenase (strengthens the heart muscle) & Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) (found in all body cells and is known for its ability to lessen the effect of radiation and slow cellular aging)
Just one teaspoon of Wheat Grass powder, weighing a mere 3.5 grams, is nutritionally equal to an entire spinach salad weighing a full 50 grams – it packs a punch!
Wheatgrass has more vitamin C than oranges and twice the vitamin A as carrots!
Wheat grass juice helps your body to build red blood cells which carry oxygen to every cell. By increasing the oxygenation the body you can help offset smog and carbon monoxide and increase your endurance during physical exercise
It also contains 19 amino acids, the building blocks of protein making this one of the most powerful wheatgrass benefits
Wheatgrass Benefits Explained

Before I get onto where and how to get wheatgrass, I’m going to list out the four main reasons why I love wheatgrass benefits so much:

Wheatgrass Benefits #1: Wheatgrass Builds Blood: Many health experts including Dr Young (pH Miracle) and Steve Meyerowitz (Nature’s Finest Medicine) have highlighted that the chlorophyll molecule in wheatgrass is almost identical to the haemoglobin molecule in human blood. The only difference is that the central element in chlorophyll is magnesium and in haemoglobin it is iron.
Due to this inherent similarity the human body can easily transform chlorophyll into haemoglobin increasing the red blood cell count as well as the blood’s capacity to deliver oxygen and other nutrients to the body’s cells (Hagiwara, 1985) .

Chlorophyll has been shown to build red blood cells quickly, normalise blood pressure by dilating the blood pathways though out the body, destroy poisonous carbon dioxide, release free oxygen and promote higher metabolism and stimulated enzyme systems. On top of all of these benefits, consuming chlorophyll from wheatgrass is a highly effective way to alkalise the blood and energise the body!

Wheatgrass Benefits #2: Wheatgrass Cleanses the Body: Wheatgrass is an extremely beneficial food in terms of both its cleansing capabilities. The contents of wheatgrass juice and powder (green drink) are reported to be within the region of approximately 100 separate elements with scientists dubbing it a ‘complete food’. According to ‘The Wheatgrass Book’ (Wigmore, 1985), just 140g of fresh wheatgrass offers the same nutritional value as over 3kg’s of fresh green vegetables! Thats a great way to get your daily fresh vegetable quota rocking – all from one wheatgrass shot.
Wheatgrass is a great source of vitamins B, C, E and carotene which are hugely effective in destroying and eliminating free radicals and cleansing the body. Wheatgrass is also highly regarded for its ability to cleanse the blood, organs and gastrointestinal tract.

Because it is also high in saponin, wheatgrass offers excellent support to the lymphatic system, helping to carry away hundreds and thousands of toxins from the cells of the body. Kulvinskas (Survival into the 21st Century, 1975) wheatgrass helps to ‘detoxify the body by increasing the elimination of hardened mucous, crystallised acids and solidified, decaying faecal matter…It is the fastest, surest way to eliminate internal waste and provide an optimum nutritional environment’.

These are just some of the cleansing wheatgrass benefits, and I have barely scratched the surface with regards to listing its nutritional content. Put most simply, whether you are looking to undertake a formal cleanse, or simply try to add more nutrition to your diet – these reasons alone are enough to consider adding wheatgrass to your daily lifestyle.

Wheatgrass Benefits #3: Wheatgrass Has High Amino Acid Content:: You may have heard the expression before that – amino acids are the building blocks of protein. They are absolutely essential to our growth and cell regeneration. It is the astonishingly high amino acid content in wheatgrass that is leading to many bodybuilders and gym-goers incorporating fresh (a wheatgrass shot) or wheatgrass powder into their daily routine.
Wheatgrass benefits are so impactful because it is a complete protein and contains, amongst others, the following amino acids: arginine, serine, absenisic, lysine, aspartic acid, glycine, alanine, methionine, leucine, tryptophane, phenylalanine, and valine.

Wheatgrass Benefits #4: Wheatgrass Fights and Protects Against Illness: Organic wheatgrass powders and juices are an extremely effective way of boosting the body’s immune system to fight against and recover from illnesses and ailments. Wheatgrass is a great source of beta carotene, contains most of the B vitamins and vitamins C, E, H and K, and also contains over 90 different minerals and 19 amino acids. It also contains several active enzymes which play a major role in breaking down fats, undertaking biological functions and assist hugely in weight loss. Of the 90 minerals found, many of these are very alkalising and include calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium and iron.
Many of the health benefits of wheatgrass stem from the fact that it is a living food. Being highly anti-bacterial, consuming wheatgrass will help to alkalise and detoxify the lymph and blood cells, helping the body to rebuild and transport toxins out of the body quickly and effectively.

Again, coming back to the chlorophyll content of wheatgrass – this can protect the body from carcinogens more effectively than any other food. Studies conducted on animals have shown that wheatgrass consumption has reduced the absorption of a number of very serious carcinogens whilst strengthening cells, detoxifying the liver and neutralising polluting elements within the blood.

MMMMM Juice

I got a new masticating juicer a few months ago and I love it!!! :sunny:

So easy so delicious :daisy:

 

how much money a week in wheatgrass is your habit?

 

Lynn there are no seeds and no gluten it looks like grass blades ..wheatgrass is a vegetable cut before the wheat plant form the grain. I'm trying to find my pictures in my albums of the wheatgrass and also my wheatgrasser but since I have soo many albums it is not easy to find....

 

If I am lazy and don't feel like extracting the wheatgrass myself from my manual wheatgrasser it costs seven dollars for two ounces so its 3.50 a ounce ...
When I do it myself it costs half that much soo 3.50 for two ounces ....

 

damn, now you got me intrigued, if nothing else i could really use help with my allergies, lol

watching this, now im going to see what i can use as a medium. i have barley on hand, ill start a test tray with that.
