Is Wheat Grass good for Pregnant Women?
Wheatgrass is one of Nature's great healers.
Pregnant women need to ensure they get sufficient nutrients to support the development of a healthy baby. Wheatgrass and other Alkaline Superfoods can play an important part in ensuring proper nutritional support during pregnancy.
Enzymes are important active ingredients in wheatgrass juice. They are the life force of our foods and are required to carry out many important biological and chemical functions within the body.
Thirty mls of freshly squeezed juice contains as much nutritional value as approx one kilo of fresh green veggies in vitamin, mineral and amino acid content. It is a complete protein containing about 20 amino acids (the building blocks of protein) and about 30 enzymes which are incredibly important for correct digestion and other bodily processes.
On an empty stomach, wheatgrass juice is assimilated into the blood in about 20 minutes, and the vitality lasts throughout the day.
Abundant in B vitamins, C,E, and carotene. These vitamins work to successfully destroy free radicals that con lead to the degeneration of the immune system, and the body as a whole. There are over 90 mineral, which are needed to maintain good metabolism. Some of these alkaline minerals found in wheatgrass are calcium, magnesium, potassium and iron.
CHLOROPHYLL: The bioavailable chlorophyll found in wheatgrass juice can help to protect us from carcinogens (cancer causing substances). It strengthens the cells, detoxifies the liver and bloodstream and chemically neutralizes the polluting elements in our environment. Given the liver is the main organ of detoxification in the body it is important to note that chlorophyll stimulates and regenerates it. Three compounds found in the juice that helps the liver with this are:
*Choline which prevents the deposition of fats
*Magnesium which draws out excess fat
*Potassium which invigorates and stimulates
AMINO ACIDS
Absensic anti cancer agent
Alanine blood builder
Arginine seminal fluid
Asparfic acid energy
Glutamic acid mental alertness
Glycine energy
Histidine hearing and nerve function
Isoleucine growth in infants
Leucine energy and nerve stimulation
Lysine anti aging
Methionine kidney and liver cleanser
Phenylalanine thyroid function
Proline glutamic acid absorption
Serline brain stimulation
Threonine digestion and assimilation
Tryptophane skin and hair growth
Valine Brain/muscle co ordination
BLOOD BUILDER: Both chlorophyll (as in wheatgrass juice) and haemoglobin (red blood cells) are molecularly similar. The only actual difference is that the central element in chlorophyll is magnesium and in haemoglobin it is iron, so chlorophyll has been shown to build red blood cells quickly after ingestion. It normalizes high blood pressure by dilating the blood pathways throughout the body, and stimulates healthy blood tissue cell growth. Chlorophyll has the ability to break down poisonous carbon dioxide and release free oxygen. Wheatgrass stimulates metabolism and enzyme systems and the abundance of alkaline minerals in the juice helps to reduce over acidity in the blood.
BODY CLEANSING: Wheatgrass juice has a long tradition as a cleanser of blood, organs, and gastrointestinal tract. It contains saponin, a detergent factor which can help drain the lymphatic system, carrying away many toxins from the body cells. When an imbalance or injury exists, sore tendons or joints, there is a natural build up of mucous in the lymph particular to that area. This mucous is encapsulated, helping to ensure the proper flow of lymphatic fluid. Wheatgrass juice helps to break down the mucous, allows it to drain and thus relieves pressure and aids healing.
ALLERGIES AND SENSITIVITIES: Wheatgrass is different to wheat, as one is a green vegetable, the other a grain. The green vegetable grass contains no gluten and is therefore no more allergic than spinach or lettuce. In fact it contains anti allergic factors. Since allergies are immune responses to toxic irritants, detoxification is crucial to any allergy treatment problem.
BODY HEALING: Wheatgrass is not a cure, however through scientific investigation and experimentation its discovered that it furnishes the body with vital nourishment, which, when missing, yields sickness. In therapeutic amounts, wheatgrass juice will detoxify the body by increasing the elimination of hardened mucous, crystallized acids and solidified, decaying faecal matter. It is one of the fastest, surest way to eliminate internal waste and provide an optimum nutritional environment.
The movement for the human consumption of wheatgrass began in the western world in the 1930's and was initiated by Charles Schnabal, known as the father of wheatgrass.
