Organic Wheatgrass Powder Benefits – Alkalize, Digestion, more

Here are three key benefits of consuming organic wheatgrass powder as part of your daily diet:

1. Wheatgrass alkalizes.

Your body’s internal environment is much healthier when it has a more alkaline pH, versus when it has an acidic pH. Things like stress, processed foods, and other factors can contribute to an acidic balance in your body. If this gets bad enough, it can eventually become a breeding ground for illness. So how to you promote a more alkaline pH in your body? Foods that are rich in chlorophyll, such as organically grown wheatgrass, flood your body with alkaline substances and trace minerals, and promote a healthy internal environment.

2. Wheatgrass powder promotes healthy digestion.

Organic wheatgrass is packed with Chlorophyll, the substance that makes green plants green. This substance helps aid the body in proper digestion by gently stimulating the walls of your intestinal tract.  This helps your body eliminate toxins and waste in a timely and efficient manner. Also, compounds in wheatgrass help feed the friendly bacteria (probiotics) in your intestinal tract, promoting a healthy environment and superior nutrient absorption from other foods.

3. Wheatgrass supports a healthy bloodstream.

-The Chlorophyll found in wheatgrass is almost identical in molecular structure to the hemoglobin in human blood.  This has led many researchers to study dark, green vegetables’ ability to be a ‘blood builder’ and cleanser.  Also, the chlorophyll helps efficiently carry other nutrients through your bloodstream to your body’s cells, for maximum absorption.
