wheat grass capsulesWheatgrass Juice - Four Reasons To Drink It

When you take living wheatgrass juice it and take a shot of the fresh liquid, almost immediately the nutrients travel into the bloodstream and every cell, system and organ of the body becomes energized. Many people know that wheatgrass juice is good for the acid alkaline balance of the body, but many people are not aware of the other top reasons for drinking it. From how it energizes the body, the nutrients it delivers, how they build up the bodys cells, and how it cleanses the body of unhealthy toxins. This article will discuss the top four reasons for drinking fresh or powdered wheatgrass juice.

1. Energy

The amount of energy that comes from a shot of this juice in the morning is incredible. It is a great idea to start every morning with a shot of fresh wheatgrass juice as an alternative to drinking tea or coffee. It has been often said that two shots of whatgrass juice is a near equivalent to three pounds of fresh vegetables in vitamins, minerals and live nutrient energy. Just like how dark green spinach leaves contain concentrated nutrients, it is filled with many of the same elements.

2. Nutrients

The human body only requires so many different vitamins and minerals to function effectively through life. As far as the digestive system is concerned, two or three shots of fresh grass can contain enough nutrient to replace a meal. This is because we need to eat enough vegetables on a regular basis to fulfill our needs for complete protein, over thirty different enzymes and fresh chlorophyll. Our body requires vegetables to keep a balanced level of calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, sulphur, cobalt, and zinc. But can we build our bodies with anything other then natural foods?

3. Growth

Our body's digestive system always needs high amounts of chlorophyll and enzymes to function at its best. In order to deliver nutrients to the cells of the body, we need healthy hemoglobin cells in our blood. The chlorophyll that comes from whatgrass juice and other green vegetables contains proteins that closely match that of our body's molecules. This way we build our blood cells which in turn increases the oxygen that they can deliver to the organs and systems of the body. It assists the body in rebuilding cells while also lowing the blood pressure. But how can it build the body while simultaneously cleansing the body of toxins?

4. Detox

The cells of the body are able to eliminate waste and toxins through the lymph system. The lymph system bathes the cells and carries away the waste. The amount of lymph in your body is three times that off the blood in the body. There are a number of factors in wheatgrass juice that stimulate this system by eliminating mucus, clearing the joints and muscles while clearing the stomach. This is how the body begins the process of sweating out toxins that accumulate in the cells of the body.

When you consider nutrition and health, there are much more then four reasons to regularly drink wheatgrass juice. But on a more basic level, giving the body more energy, more nutrients, more cell growth, while stimulating the lymph system to detox are critical to living health. Because the health of your body is in direct relation to the health of your cells, systems and organs of the body.

No longer the exclusive realm of tree hugging, hippie vegetarians, alternative medicine is gaining popularity across the globe. More and more people are turning to aspects of it in order to help them cope with in the increasing stresses of every day living. Massage has virtually become a way of life for many people, yet they probably don�t consider it an alternate therapy. Acupuncture is also increasing in popularity as people realise that the needles don�t hurt and they do actually work. Thousands of years of practice can�t be that wrong. Even some medical aids, those dinosaurs of the medical world, (perhaps a better analogy would be those rocks of the medical world, because getting money out of them is like getting blood out of a rock), are starting to move with the times and are willing to pay for some alternative treatments if your doctor prescribes them.

What exactly is alternative medicine? It is sometimes called complementary medicine, but that doesn�t help with the definition at all, that�s just by the way. According to Cathy Wong in �Your Guide to Alternative Medicine� alternative medicine is any therapy or treatment that is not conventional medicine. That seems like an extraordinarily broad definition to me. By that definition eating chocolate for rheumatism is alternative as is drinking beer for malaria. However, we can be fairly sure that Cathy doesn�t mean for alternative to extend quite that far. She probably assumes that we are all reasonable, logical adults with a fair amount of understanding and that we won�t act like idiots. Some of the more popular and therefore common therapies include: chiropractic, herbs and nutritional supplements, diet, mind-body therapies, naturopathic therapies, homeopathy, aromatherapy, energy therapies, bodywork, ayuvedic massage, traditional Chinese medicine and yoga.

Alternative medicine is based primarily on the body�s innate ability to heal itself. The therapies and treatments are designed to aid the body in its self-healing process. Yoga unblocks blocked charkas and releases energy so that the body is able to function optimally. It also increases strength and poise to keep the charkas unblocked and to allow energy and creativity to keep flowing freely. Some types of massage and deep breathing do the same. Meditation keeps your mind focused and sharp, keeping you mentally healthy and balanced, in theory. Deep breathing plays an important role in meditation. It helps to focus the mind and it enables you to control the functioning of your body to a certain degree. The more you practice mediation techniques and the greater you grow in proficiency the greater your control becomes.

One of the principles of alternative therapy is that natural methods come first. The adherents to alternative healing do not necessarily discount the use of conventional medicine, they merely argue that it should be used as a last resort. Alternative therapies are also highly individualised to suit the patient�s needs and they offer a comprehensive and holistic approach. The ultimate goal is to create optimum health in the entire body, the practitioners do not focus on clearing the symptoms only, they focus on overall body health.

Alternative healing has been around for centuries. The Chinese must get quite a kick out of knowing that their medicine is referred to as alternative. They�ve only been using it on a regular basis for millennia. Point is, alternative as the name says it is, it is gaining in popularity, in the US alone one third of the population uses alternative therapy. There are a lot of people in the US. Conventional medicine is starting to use alternative therapy in conjunction with its treatments in a process called integrative therapy. It�s been know to work very well. It seems that nearly seems that nearly everyone is developing an open mind to other ways of doing things and that is always a good thing.
