Wheatgrass
Wheatgrass is one of the most beneficial forms of natural plant-based nutrients. Just two ounces of the juice is equivalent to the nutrients found in five pounds of the best raw vegetables.
It is one of the few complete proteins found in nature, meaning it has all of the essential amino acids necessary for adequate nutrient absorption. Wheatgrass has all known minerals and is full of vitamins A, B-complex, C, E, and K. This makes wheatgrass a natural muti-vitamin that improves immunity and fights diseases.
Moreover, wheatgrass is packed with chlorophyll, a naturally detoxifying agent that binds with toxins and removes them from the body. This fights aliments, slows aging, and increases energy. It provides oxygen to blood cells and helps restore imbalances from body odors to iron deficiencies to Candida overgrowth. Since it is extracted from wheatgrass sprouts rather than wheat itself, it is gluten-free.
