The Benefits of Wheatgrass

What exactly is Wheatgrass and what are the benefits?

Wheatgrass comes from very young wheatplant. You may already know that wheat is a grain, but wheatgrass is considered a vegetable at the stage of development that it is harvested.

Wheatgrass juice is a complete food with no toxic side affects. It contains all of the vitamins and most of the minerals needed for human maintenance and well-being. It is also a complete protein with about 80 enzymes and is approximately 70% crude chlorophyll.

Wheatgrass contains all the elements that are missing in your body's cells - especially amino acids, a vast array of vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, and enzymes, ideal for those seeking maximum cell vitality. Wheatgrass juice has been proven over many years to benefit people in numerous ways: cleansing the lymph system, building the blood, restoring balance in the body, removing toxic metals from the cells, nourishing the liver and kidneys and restoring vitality.

Wheatgrass is the green, growing and processing plant that will eventually become a shaft of wheat, produce grain, die, and be harvested. At only seven days, the wheatgrass is 6 to 9 inches tall and can be cut and juiced. The deep green juice is abundant with vitamins, minerals, enzymes, chlorophyll. It is intensely concentrated and benefits are seen with as little as one ounce a day.

According to Ann Wigmore, the founder of wheatgrass healing:

Wheatgrass juice cleanses and builds your blood
Wheatgrass juice improves skin and hair
Wheatgrass juice builds muscle and endurance
Wheatgrass juice fights infections
Wheatgrass juice lowers blood pressure
Wheatgrass juice dissolves tumors
Wheatgrass juice acts as an appetite suppressant.

Can I take Wheatgrass during pregnancy?

Wheatgrass (or Barley Grass, or Alfalfa) is perfectly safe to take before, during, and after pregnancy. In fact, it's a good idea to eat Wheatgrass and other greens during pregnacy, since they are a good source of folic acid, and of course many other important nutrients.

The Road To A Healthy Prostate

The prostate is partly a muscle and gland. It is about the size of a walnut with a donut shape. It is about the size of a walnut with a donut shape. It is directly underneath the bladder and surrounds the tube (urethra) that allows urine to flow out the bladder and pass out through the penis. The prostate secretes a thin cloudy alkaline fluid that helps make up seminal fluid. The muscular contractions of the prostate squeeze the prostatic fluids and help mix it with semen and sperm. The muscles help to ejaculate. There are many types of prostate diseases and many factors that can cause problems. Drugs (Legal and illegal) harm it.

Prostatic Hypertropy is the enlargement of the prostate. It can slow down, interrupt, block, or stop the flow of urine as well as cause urine to stay in bladder too long resulting in infections and/or inflammation. This can lead to kidney and destroy the kidney.

Prostatitis is the inflammation of the prostate. Diseases can directly and indirectly affect the prostate such as Sugar Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Rheumatism, Arthritis, Varicose Veins, and Hypoglycemia, which damages prostate nerves.

Natural Remedies for Parkinsons Dis-ease

Parkinson's Disease or PD is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that often impairs the sufferer's motor's skills, speech, and other functions.

Parkinson's disease belongs to a group of conditions called movement disorders. It is characterized by muscle rigidity, tremor, a slowing of physical movement and, in extreme cases, a loss of physical movement. The primary symptoms are the results of decreased stimulation of the motor cortex by the basal ganglia normally caused by the insufficient formation and action of dopamine, which is produced in the dopaminergic neurons of the brain.
