Wheatgrass, a potent antioxidant-rich superfood, is a game-changer for your well-being. From elevating energy levels to aiding digestion, and even contributing to cancer treatment, KC Acres has been raving of wheatgrass ever since we discovered its remarkable qualities.
Here’s why we love wheatgrass, and why you should be too!
1 – Wheatgrass aids in detoxifying and purifying your body.
Wheatgrass can help purify the body, removing toxins, heavy metals and cancer-causing agents from the liver
and bloodstream. The chlorophyll and other nutrients found in wheatgrass help reduce cell-damaging free radicals in the body. The damaging free radical molecules make it difficult for your body to repair itself and can cause organ degeneration and signs of aging. Wheatgrass also works with your kidneys and liver to cleanse toxins from your body. Sometimes, your food can actually contaminate your body – and that’s why you need to detox. The vitamins and nutrients it contains assist with the extraction of toxins and boosts your gut’s ability to extract nutrients from the food you eat.
2 – Wheatgrass helps with digestion.
The natural ability of wheatgrass to purify the body helps your digestive system function at a more efficient level. It aids the gut in fully extracting macro and micronutrients from your food. For those with IBS or other gastric issues, wheatgrass can reduce the symptoms. It’s also packed with necessary amino acids, the building blocks of your body.
Wheatgrass is one of the better options for a colonic. It’s fresh, vitamin-packed nature lends itself to easy absorption. Ingested in this manner, your body is very easily able to extract all the vitamins and nutrients found in the plant.
3 – Wheatgrass has been shown to lower cholesterol levels.
High cholesterol in the body leads to poor blood flow and heart disease. By introducing wheatgrass to a high-fat diet, you could experience a significant reduction in bad cholesterol as well as a positive improvement in good cholesterol (HDL). Wheatgrass can help reduce your risk of heart disease caused by high cholesterol in a natural, organic way. The detoxifying properties of wheatgrass stimulate the production of a compound called glutathione in the liver, helping reduce the amount of bad cholesterol (LDL) in the blood.
4 – Wheatgrass is a fantastic addition to boost your immune system.
Cold and flu season can wreak havoc on your body’s immune system. Incorporating wheatgrass into a healthy diet can help reduce your risk of contracting a cold or the flu. With its naturally high levels of Vitamins A and C – more vitamin C than two oranges and twice the amount of vitamin A per serving than carrots, wheatgrass can help ward off illness. A single 2-ounce serving of wheatgrass per day can give your body the extra vitamin boost you need to keep colds and the flu at bay. You may even see a reduction in your chances of contracting a more serious respiratory condition such as bronchitis.
5 – Wheatgrass will increase your energy better than coffee!
Swap your afternoon coffee slump for a revitalizing 2-ounce shot of wheatgrass. Whether consumed alone or blended into a tasty juice, wheatgrass will ignite your energy reserves, enhancing blood flow to the brain and body. For fitness enthusiasts, choosing wheatgrass as a pre-workout supplement versus one created from artificial chemicals may result in an extra boost of energy and stamina to achieve their fitness goals. This is because of wheatgrass’s ability to supply red blood cells to the whole body, which in turn brings more oxygen to every cell within your body.
At KC Acres, we believe in growing wheatgrass outside using traditional and organic farming methods that are herbicide and pesticide free. We then harvest and process the wheatgrass in small batches to ensure all nutritional value is kept. This ensures that we produce the best quality wheatgrass for you and our family.
