Wheatgrass juice is high in vitamin A to improve eye health and
guard against infection, C to guard against cardiovascular disease,
boost immunity, aid in wound healing and help form collagen in

B-17. Wheatgrass juice has in it Calcium for strong bones and teeth,
efficient blood clotting, nerve cell transmission, Phosphorus,

"Minerals help regulate the eliminative and blood-building
functions on the molecular level, through their bonds with the many
enzymes in the body." Ann Wigmore, The Wheatgrass
Book.
Wheatgrass juice is considered a predigested food and doesn't
require enzymes for breaking down proteins.
"Keep in mind that up to 99 percent of the calcium we eat is
deposited in our bones and teeth, and calcium cannot be properly
absorbed unless other trace minerals are present along with it-as is
the case in wheatgrass juice and fresh, live foods." Ann
Wigmore, The Wheatgrass Book.
Wheatgrass juice is rich in Chlorophyll. Chlorophyll has a
molecular structure almost identical to the hemoglobin molecule of
human blood. Chlorophyll cleanses the liver, tissues and cells and
purifies the blood. Wheatgrass juice helps remove toxic heavy metals
such as lead, mercury, aluminum, that have become stored in the
tissues of the body. (a
personal story) It contains Beta-carotene, which acts as a
scavenger against harmful molecules flowing naturally through the
body, or through toxins inhaled from cigarette smoke, air pollution
and other sources.
Wheatgrass juice is the optimum energizer. Nutritionally, 1 and
1/2 oz. of juice is equivalent to 2 and 1/2 lbs of fresh vegetables
and contains 103 vitamins and minerals. When juiced, it cleanses,
purifies, and feeds the body by oxidizing the white blood cells,
which boost the body's immune system. It is very beneficial for
people who wish to heal dis-ease, cleanse their body, prevent
illness or want to lose weight. It will increase the enzyme level in
our cells thereby aiding in rejuvenating the body.
"There is really no substitute for the vitamins found in
high-quality raw foods. I also recommend the use of three to six
ounces of fresh wheatgrass juice every day or so as added protection
from the pressures and stresses of modern living. This small amount
of green juice alone will supply nearly as much vitamins and
minerals as the food the average person eats each day." Ann
Wigmore, The Wheatgrass Book
The iron in Wheatgrass juice helps the blood carry healing Oxygen
