you know a lot of people love wheat

products right breads pasta cereal

crackers biscuits waffles pancakes

things like that and so if there is a

way that you can actually eat wheat

without

any side effects at all and you can have

as much as you want wouldn’t that be

great and the answer is yes there is a

type of wheat that you can have as much

as you want and you’re going to be

really excited about this

well I think I’m a little bit sarcastic

but you can have wheat in the form of

wheatgrass that’s right wheatgrass well

you’re probably not too excited about

that but today I’m going to talk about

some really interesting benefits of

wheatgrass and what it can do for your

health now full disclosure I do sell

wheatgrass juice powder okay I’m just

telling you that before I start this

video and secondly I’m not going to make

any claims that consuming wheat grass

juice can do anything for your health

prevent anything

help reduce the risk of any diseases I

just want to explain some of the

research and there’s some really

interesting things about wheatgrass that

I want to share with you so what is the

difference between

wheat that you would use in making

Breads and pastas and things like that

versus the wheat and the wheatgrass

juice well with all the Breads and

pastas and cereals and crackers that is

made with the seed of the plant okay the

grain and wheatgrass is without the seed

it’s the actual plant that the seed

grows on and so you’re consuming this in

like the micro green phase which is

usually about seven to eight to nine or

ten days a lot of different opinions

about wheatgrass juice

um like it’s the new age espresso people

use it in different cleansing detox

programs but I think the health of the

wheatgrass is dependent on what it’s

grown on so if you’re going to the

health food store and you’re you’re

buying wheatgrass in trays that’s grown

on like this fiber coconut or or nothing

at all versus it growing on actual soil

I think there’s a big difference in

nutrition also you have products that

are a wheatgrass powder products versus

wheatgrass juice

powder very very different the

wheatgrass juice powder is way more

concentrated because it doesn’t have any

fiber in it and it takes a tremendous

amount of wheatgrass to make just a

little bit of that wheatgrass juice

powder and there is several advantage of

doing the wheatgrass juice powder

because

especially if you have

irritable bowel inflammation in your gut

you can’t do fiber I mean it’s pretty

bizarre to think celiac disease right

which is a severe intestinal

inflammatory condition where you’re

getting destruction of the lining of

your colon comes from gluten which is in

wheat products and other grains yet if

you did the wheatgrass juice powder it

would not create that effect because

there’s no gluten in wheatgrass at all

so that’s interesting it’s like opposite

ends of the spectrum the gluten is

contained in the grain which occurs

later in the plant’s cycle if you

capture

a baby plant when it’s very small you

avoid any of the cranes but it also

means that you avoid a lot of the other

things that are bad too like the

anti-nutrients like phytic acid which

blocks the absorption of certain

minerals so there’s very very low if any

phytic acid in wheatgrass but there’s a

lot in the grain because it’s in that

bran portion of the seed then you also

have a great reduction of the tannins

which are also kind of toxic to people

and there is a much much lower amount of

oxalates which can lead to kidney stones

and can create arthritis or inflammation

into the body so with the wheatgrass

juice you have this interesting very low

anti-nutrients no gluten okay it’s

actually low carb and you get higher

levels of nutrients okay vitamin C the

precursor of vitamin A beta-carotene you

have a lot of the trace minerals the

minerals and of course that depends on

what it’s grown on as well you get B

vitamins you get folate and what’s

interesting we had our wheatgrass juice

powder tested and there were high levels

of B12 now first of all plants don’t

make

12. so apparently that B12 was created

from a microorganism that lives within

that plant because one of the things

that the farm that grows the wheatgrass

juice powder that I use they don’t

sterilize so nothing is heated over 106

degrees

so you have microorganisms living that

can survive that temperature and so that

can add an additional benefit there’s

even 17 amino acids in this wheatgrass

juice but I don’t even consume it for

the vitamins

I consume it for two other things one is

the chlorophyll which 70 percent of

wheatgrass juice is chlorophyll and

secondly for all the phytonutrients

there are hundreds if not thousands of

phytonutrients in this microgreen and

other microgreens that have all sorts of

very cool properties which I’m going to

talk about but first let me just mention

is chlorophyll compound I don’t know if

you knew this but chlorophyll is

identical to your own blood except for

one little thing instead of iron it

contains magnesium

I mean it’s pretty wild that when

someone consumes that green liquid from

a plant they’re consuming something that

is so close to your blood but with

magnesium it’s pretty wild and there’s

also studies that shows that chlorophyll

can stimulate the production of your own

red blood cells if you have anemia and

it also has the ability to stimulate the

blood stem cells as well but I’m not

making any claims that it’ll do anything

for you just read the research on this

yourself now let’s just talk a little

bit about the phytonutrients you know

there’s a lot of nutrients help to

reduce the complications of a lot of

different health problems

they have anti-inflammatory properties

antioxidant properties

antimicrobial properties but the

phytonutrients that I want to talk about

today relate to a condition that I found

some interesting research on and that’s

thalassemia that is a genetic blood

disorder where the person is not making

enough hemoglobin which is the protein

that carries oxygen in your blood so

it’s a type of anemia there’s also some

other problems with this disorder you’re

not making enough white blood cells

leukocytes and also you have a

deficiency of thrombocytes so we have

low red blood cells low white blood

cells and low thrombocytes which

actually have to do with the clotting

factors and so the problem is the

treatment for this disorder has a lot of

side effects I mean one of the

treatments is like a bone marrow

replacement other treatments involve

bone marrow stimulants blood

transfusions

etc etc but there’s some alternative

treatments that they’re trying with some

pretty good Effectiveness and that has

to do with wheat grass and they found

through a research experiment which I’ll

put down below that there’s something in

wheatgrass juice that can increase your

white blood cells that can increase your

red blood cells that can also increase

your thrombocytes and so it’s very good

for anemia but I want to mention again

this is just educational I’m not making

any claims it’s going to do anything for

you at all now it’s very very

inexpensive to make your own wheatgrass

juice just by growing it I highly

recommend that you grow it in a tray of

soil okay and it only takes like seven

days to grow it so you can actually

juice drone and use that tray to juice

and then take your own shots that would

be a very inexpensive yet super healthy

way to get these phytonutrients and

since we’re talking about concentrated

phytonutrients if you have not seen this

video you should check it out I put it

up right here
