I have no issues with drinking fruit juices but if you shove a glass of freshly-juiced green vegetables to me, I might just puke. Honestly, I’ve heard for some time the benefits of wheatgrass but never really got down to making it one of my vegetable juice choices.

This is especially so with my previous juicers with which juicing such kind of strip-like vegetables is just too cumbersome. But I had promised myself to treat my body well – you know, to increase my enzyme intake and reduce my acidity. I remember reading somewhere that this objective of mine can be reached by capitalizing on the benefits of wheatgrass.

I sieved through the Net and was enticed by this article where the writer, Catherine Stack, talks about how, like me, she is irked by freshly-juiced greens despite its benefits. However, one thing works for her – wheatgrass juice.

She claims that, “What I find to be much easier, more potent, all within a one ounce serving, is a shot of wheatgrass.  It is a whole meal within itself, containing most essential vitamins and minerals, 30 enzymes, is a complete protein and is 70% chlorophyll. Fresh or frozen wheatgrass contain living enzymes that are so health promoting”.

Considering the endless advantages of consuming wheatgrass, I’m going to start juicing it in the mornings, using my Omega 8006 Juicer, in replace of my regular coffee. As Ms Stack claims a glass of the greens can provide you the boost better than even the strongest coffee.  

The benefits of wheatgrass do not stop there. To find out more on what drinking wheatgrass can do for you, read the article by Catherine Stack.
