Millions of Americans are drained.  We are all reaching for a jolt to keep our energy level productive, usually leading us to grab forms of caffeine or sugar.  Soon to be followed with a crash, forcing us to do it all over again.  Are we living or are we surviving?  In today’s modern life we have added in a great deal of tasking and responsibility without upping the anti on our nutrition.  In fact, choosing a longer list throughout the day over taking care of our body has nutritionally deprived us even more.

This past month, I have been getting loads of questions about detoxing methods.  Thank you for all the questions.  So, what are some foods that help detox the body?    There are several out there, I know.  Today, I would like to highlight the cleansing [and energizing] power of WHEAT GRASS.

Wheat grass can offer balance and re-energize your day, while cleansing the body to set the platform for future foods to be better assimilated by the body.  Yep, that’s right wheat grass helps with releasing excess fats and mineral deposits that are trapped in the body, while adding in high quality amino acids, vitamins and minerals!  Wheat grass has been known to:

•    Improve complexion
•    Improve liver function
•    Purify the blood
•    Increase your metabolism
•    Stimulate circulation
•    Protect against pollution
•    Deodorize the body
•    DNA repair

So, now that you understand the power of this grass…HOW DO YOU GET IT IN? Dr. Ann Wigamore’s book The Wheat grass Book, gives instruction on growing your own indoor wheat grass garden and juicing.  But, if gardening sounds like too much work, now is the time to locate your nearest juice bar, or health food store.  I know we have all located our nearest Starbucks to get our double shot of espresso; now is the time to find our nearest juice bar!  Order up a double shot of wheat grass [ask for a lemon or orange wedge for after] and join the living!
