Wheatgrass Juice Powder Benefits and Uses 🌱[& How to Choose High Quality...

In today’s video, I’m gonna talk about Wheatgrass Juice Powder Benefits and Uses,  explain how to recognize a high-quality versus a poor-quality product, and share my favorite Wheatgrass Juice Powder brand.  By the way, if you’re new to my YouTube channel, my name is Greta, and I’m an online nutritionist and a holistic health coach.  If you haven’t yet, consider subscribing to my YouTube channel where I share weekly videos about insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, weight loss, and optimizing your health.  What is wheatgrass, and what’s so special about it?  Wheatgrass comes from a young wheat plant.  Wheatgrass is harvested for juicing when the grass reaches its nutritional peak.  When the plant is around 7 inches or 17 centimeters high.  Wheatgrass juice or wheatgrass juice powder does not contain any grains or gluten.  When you consume wheatgrass, you only get the health benefits.  Young wheatgrass is at its peak nutrition at this stage.  Now, let’s look at the quality of wheatgrass.  Why should you care about the quality of your wheatgrass?  Aren’t all products the same?  It’s wheatgrass, right?  It’s healthy.  Well, not all wheatgrass powders are created equal.  For example, those light green color powders that you see everywhere, are a total waste of money, as they contain very little of what you need and very much of what you don’t need from wheatgrass.  Things like indigestible fiber instead of nutrients.  That’s why it’s so cheap.  The light green color indicates low nutrient density and poor quality.  These products are also commonly prepared using high heat that kills everything in it.  Many of the nutrients are heat-sensitive.  Prepare it wrong, and they’ll all be gone.  It’s important to choose raw wheat grass products, rather than heated products.  Make sure your wheatgrass product is organic, to avoid any toxic pesticides and other contaminants.  You won’t have healthy wheatgrass from unhealthy pesticide-loaded grass.  Also, another important thing to look for: is it a wheat grass powder, or a wheat grass juice powder?  When you buy wheatgrass, always choose wheatgrass juice powder, not just a simple powder.  What’s the difference between the two?  When you buy a simple powder, you get mostly the indigestible fiber called cellulose that we can’t break down.  You can make paper from cellulose, but you shouldn’t eat it.  Wheat grass juice powder, is a lot better, than simple powder, because it is very low in this indigestible fiber.  It is cellulose-free and very high in nutrients that we would want to get from wheat grass.  Wheatgrass is high in calcium, magnesium, sodium, Vitamin A, B vitamins, choline, and vitamins  E, and K.  It is rich in chlorophyll, known for its strong antioxidant and anticancer properties.  Chlorophyll benefits include improving liver detoxification, supporting the immune system,  speeding up wound healing, and improving digestion.  So, What are the health benefits of wheatgrass juice powder or wheatgrass juice?  We know it has chlorophyll, but that’s not it.  The first and probably the most important benefit of wheatgrass is enhanced liver detoxification.  It helps to cleanse the liver, binds to toxic elements, and helps to remove them from the body.  We are exposed to heavy metals, pesticides, plastics, and toxic food additives, and it can often become overwhelming.  That’s when our health starts going down the hill.  We need to support our detoxification system on a daily basis, with the help of food and supplements, and do some more intense detoxification procedures from time to time.  For example, it’s not that easy to detoxify from heavy metals.  If you would like to learn more about heavy metal detoxification, make sure to watch my other video about heavy metal detox with zeolites afterward.  Back to wheatgrass benefits.  Wheatgrass is useful for insulin resistance.  It was shown to reduce glucose and improve insulin sensitivity.  So, if you’re type 2 diabetic, type 1 diabetic, prediabetic, or insulin resistant like 70-90%  of people in developed countries, taking wheat grass juice powder supplement could be beneficial for you.  Also, It helps to heal ulcers.  It is very helpful for healing.  If you have any ulcers in your stomach or your gut, you should consider taking wheatgrass juice powder to help you heal it faster.  Some people say, don’t take wheatgrass, it’s a scam, and there are no studies to support its health benefits.  Here’s a high-quality randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial showing how wheat grass juice treatment significantly improved ulcerative colitis, which is an inflammation of the colon.  It is also useful for diabetic ulcers.  It can be used internally and externally on diabetic foot ulcers.  Of course, consult with your doctor.  Another benefit of wheatgrass juice powder is reducing arthritis.  Arthritis is pain and inflammation of the joints.  It helps to reduce these symptoms.  In general, wheatgrass was shown to reduce inflammation in the body.  It is important to lower inflammation because it’s associated with various conditions including rheumatoid arthritis, type-2 diabetes, chronic kidney disease, cancer, anemia, neurodegenerative diseases, and aging.  So, if you have any of these conditions, it could be a good idea to take a wheatgrass juice powder supplement.  You can discuss it with your doctor or nutritionist.  The next benefit of taking the wheatgrass supplement is the reduction of triglycerides and menopausal symptoms, as seen in this randomized controlled trial.  The participants took 3.5 g of wheatgrass supplement per day for a period of 10 weeks and had a significant reduction in Apo B harmful cholesterol, which is a much better indicator of your heart disease risk when compared to LDL cholesterol.  It reduces triglycerides and decreases the psychological symptoms of menopause by 50%.  Another known benefit of wheatgrass juice or wheatgrass juice powder, is promoting blood cell production.  Chlorophyll from wheatgrass helps to stimulate and accelerate the growth of red blood cells which in turn increases the haemoglobin levels.  It is very useful in anemia.  Wheatgrass is also beneficial for cancer patients.  It helps to reduce the negative side effects of chemotherapy.  Wheatgrass is loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, that are all beneficial for fighting cancer.  Plus, as mentioned earlier, it promotes detoxification, reduces inflammation, and lowers insulin resistance.  These factors are all important in cancer treatment.  And cancer prevention.  If I had cancer, I would certainly take wheat grass juice powder.  Now, what wheatgrass juice powder brand do I personally use and recommend?  My favorite one is wheat grass juice powder from NA’VI Organics.  Their product is the highest quality, produced using these special methods that guarantee the highest nutrient content and bioavailability, it’s organic, raw, and doesn’t contain any unhealthy additives.  I will leave the link down below where you can order this wheat grass juice powder supplement.  This wheatgrass is grown in a very special way.  It is grown on an ancient sea bed.  This land is loaded with minerals, unlike the conventional soil, where most of our foods are grown today.  The soil is totally depleted, most nutrients are not added back into the soil, and fruits and veggies that grown in it have very little amount of nutrients.  If the soil you grow food in has no nutrients, the food will also lack nutrients.  You will eat this food, and be deprived of certain nutrients, such as all the trace minerals.  Wheatgrass from Navi Organics is extracted in a way that preserves all the nutrients,  and it is highly bioavailable.  An equivalent of just one teaspoon of wheat grass juice powder would be this whole tray of wheat grass.  So, as you can imagine, it’s packed with nutrients.  It’s made using bioactive dehydration, where they first make freshly squeezed wheatgrass juice, and within a couple of minutes, turn it into wheatgrass juice powder.  Using extremely low heat.  While preserving all the amazing nutrients including vitamins, minerals, and enzymes that are found in wheat grass.  When you mix this juice powder with water, you activate all the enzymes again.  It is equivalent to juicing it yourself.  How do you prepare wheat grass juice powder?  You can add one teaspoon of wheatgrass juice powder with around 50 ml of water in a shaker,  mix it, and drink it straight.  It has a grassy taste.  But, I personally quite like it.  If you would like to try this amazing wheatgrass juice powder, you can find the link to order under this
