REAL WHEAT 101
                                     An Introduction to Wheatgrass
Organic Wheatgrass has poetically been called „Nectar of Rejuvenation & Plasma of Youth” and is what health buffs call
“complete food.”

Look around and you will see wheat grass popping up just about everywhere. It is offered in health bars as fresh juice,
added to salads, smoothies and many other food products, or can be bought in tablets, capsules and powders. Athletes and
health conscious people have used the fresh juice and its dry products for many years now, with the general public slowly
but surely warming to it too.

Dehydrated wheat grass is convenient, nutritious, and safe for anyone looking to improve their physical and mental well-
being.

                                 If you are looking for a health elixir... wheat grass is “it”!

People in fast paced societies like ours often eat very little, or none at all, of deep green, leafy vegetables. And those of us
who eat them regularly don‟t usually consume anywhere near the amount we need for balanced healthy living, unless we
supplement our diet with nutrient concentrated green foods like wheat grass.

Well, maybe if you eat enough green leafy vegetables you'd see some similar health giving effects, but you would need
                               to eat truckloads of raw (not cooked) green vegetables.

Compared to the costs of other vegetables, wheat grass is a real bargain, as well as being an extremely good way to make
sure you obtain enough of the nutrients and fibres provided by deep green, leafy vegetables in your diet. And a major
advantage, which it has over most vegetables, is that it can easily be grown organically.

                                                   What is Wheat Grass?

Dr. Earp-Thomas said, “Wheat is the king of all grain foods".

Wheat grass is grown from the Red Wheat Berry, a special strain of wheat that produces high concentrations of
chlorophyll, antioxidants, active enzymes, vitamins, vital amino acids and other nutrients - as such, it is one of the most
nutrient dense substances on Earth.

It is packed with essential fatty acids and chlorophyll. A study done in 1930 found that animals could survive on grass
alone, but failed on other healthy vegetables like carrots and spinach!

Wheat grass is a lush green plant that will eventually become a shaft of wheat, produce grain and be harvested. It has a
completely different structure when it is still in the grass stage. At only seven days, the blade is 6 to 9 inches tall and can
be cut, juiced and then dried into leaf powder, which can be tableted or capsulated.

The result is a product abundant with vitamins, minerals, enzymes, chlorophyll and vital life energy.

                                                         Weight Loss

Many people use dehydrated wheat grass as a part of their weight-loss and weight-control programs. The tablets, capsules
or powders provide extremely nutrient dense food, which is very low in calories and expands when water is added. This
results in a person eating less food, yet not feeling as hungry. While fresh juice is certainly the best way to obtain the
chlorophyll, vitamins and enzymes that you need, wheat grass juice does not provide the roughage of dehydrated wheat
grass, which is necessary for weight-loss purposes.
No one claims that dehydrated product is the same as fresh. However, the dehydrated wheat grass leaves are grown
outdoors, under normal conditions, and harvested when they reach their peak concentration of the chlorophyll, vitamins,
enzymes and protein that is so desperately needed by our stressed and depleted bodies.

                                                          Nutrients

Wheat grass contains over eighty different minerals, is high in fibre, and averages 25% protein (more than meat, fish,
eggs, beans or dairy products). It is also more concentrated in iron than spinach but, unlike spinach, contains little or no
oxalic acid, which binds the useable calcium in the system and can leach calcium from teeth and bones.

Wheat grass has about as much magnesium as broccoli, Brussels sprouts (who likes them?), beets and carrots. Magnesium
is vital for muscle contraction and bowel health.

Potassium, ”the youth mineral”, which is plentiful in wheat grass, maintains mineral balance, tones the muscles, firms the
skin, and promotes overall beauty. If you are on a calorie restricted eating plan for weight loss, you can have all the
potassium you need if you use wheat grass, without all the calories from the potassium rich fruits such as bananas.

Wheat grass contains about the same amount of Vitamin C as citrus fruits, and more than common vegetables like
tomatoes or potatoes. As you know, Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant crucial to the health of the skin, teeth, gums,
muscles, and joints.

If you do not eat animal products, you will be thrilled to find out that wheat grass is rich in Vitamin A, which is essential
for maintaining healthy eyes and skin, as well as supporting normal development and reproduction.

Antioxidant Vitamin E” protector of the heart” is a fat-soluble “fertility” vitamin, responsible for the healing of wounds
and infections, and prevention of muscle degeneration.

Wheat grass is a good source of calcium, which is essential for strong bones and teeth, in addition to acting as a buffer to
restore balance to blood pH.

Those on a sodium restricted eating plan will be pleased to hear that wheat grass contains only a bare minimum of organic
sodium!

                                                      Protein benefits

More than 50% of the dry weight of human body is protein, which is important for the healthy appearance of our hair,
skin, nails and other body tissues. To stay in good health, we need to supply our bodies with food that contains a protein
structure virtually identical to our body. Protein found in meat and dairy unfortunately does not have the ideal protein
structure, and is further distorted by cooking.

A flesh and dairy eating human body goes into overdrive, to adapt to these foreign protein sources, and must learn how to
extract the necessary nutrients. The unused portions (wastes), are then stored in the body as fat and other toxic residues,
which then begin to degenerate, causing a breakdown of the immune system and structural damage to organs and body
tissue. It is much more sensible to ingest protein from food that resembles the protein structure in our body.

Super green food protein is the optimal form of protein. Out of 21 needed amino acids, green food contains 18. Our body
itself manufactures the other 3. Many professional athletes rely on green food such as wheat grass, for the strength and
stamina it gives them. Greens foods are a great choice of protein, having twice the protein of hamburgers by weight,
without the added cholesterol and fat!

                                                   What is Chlorophyll?

Chlorophyll “liquid sunshine” is the protein in plant life, and closely resembles the molecules of human red blood cells.
By taking a percentage of green foods and juices every day, you are adding vital nutrients such as minerals, enzymes,
vitamins, oxygen, and protein to your blood. Nature uses chlorophyll as a body cleanser, re-builder and neutralizer of
toxins and it may even play an important role in prevention of certain cancers.

Researchers, in the early 1980s, discovered that chlorophylls, and other related chemicals, could inhibit the ability of
certain DNA-damaging chemicals to cause mutations in bacteria. Human cancers carry mutations in one or more genes
that control the rates at which individual cells divide, differentiate, or die. Various combinations of mutations that upset
this delicate balance, in favour of uncontrolled cell growth, can then enable this irreversibly damaged cell to form a
primary cancer in the lung, liver, blood, bone, skin, or other body organ.

Therefore, it seems at least theoretically possible that the anti-mutagenic power of chlorophyll might allow it to inhibit the
formation of cancers in humans.

                                                   Benefits of chlorophyll

Purifying: Chlorophyll is a natural antiseptic with anti-bacterial effect on wounds, and has an anti-yeast effect in the
digestive tract, helping with Candida challenges.

Anti-Inflammatory: Chlorophyll assists in reducing inflammation. It can be used to help counteract the effects of
arthritis, stomach ulcers, colitis, sore throats, and other inflammatory conditions.

Nourishing: Chlorophyll builds blood, promotes healthy intestinal flora, and assists in liver cleansing.

                                                    What are enzymes?

Whether you have a cut you want to heal or desire to lose five pounds, enzymes must do the actual work. The life and
abilities of the enzymes found naturally in our bodies can be extended if we help them from the outside, by adding
enzymes like the ones found in wheat grass.

Think of enzymes as highly skilled workers. Each enzyme performs a specific function within the body, while in union
with other enzymes.

It is crucial for the human body to ingest adequate enzymes on a daily basis, if we don‟t it will eventually result in overall
poor health. Unfortunately, we don't get all the enzymes we need from the cooked, sugary, over salted and over processed
foods we tend to eat on a daily basis.

If your body has to use its own enzymes for the digestion of nutrient and enzyme depleted food, those enzymes will be
robbed from the other organs which weaken them and make them more susceptible to degenerative diseases. The body is
then prone to allergic reactions, due to a deficiency in enzymes.

Enzymes have also been linked to the prevention and curing of cancer. Enzymes deter the cancer cells ability to hide from
the immune system and spread throughout the body.

                                         Enzymes are simply the key to well-being.

                                                  Research: Wheat grass

Some of the earliest research done with wheat grass was conducted by the animal foods industry, in the search for a
concentrated green food that would increase the vitamin content of their products. Many different grasses and plants were
studied and the best results were achieved with wheat grass.

These researchers found that only a small amount of dehydrated wheat grass was needed (six to ten per cent), in addition
to the regular feed, to achieve superior health and fertility. Milk production in cows increased, chickens laid more eggs
and other animals produced larger litters of young ones that grew faster, stronger and healthier. Later, medical studies
confirmed its health giving benefits for humans, as well.
From the human point of view, research suggests that eating dark green vegetables and foods high in beta carotene offers
some protection from the development of lung cancer, with reduced risk of cancers of the ovary, cervix, stomach and
colon. Some research has even indicated that the risk of cancer can be reduced by fifty per cent, by ensuring adequate
amounts of green foods in the diet. Researchers have found that wheat grass contains natural antiseptics and antibiotics
that seem to stimulate healing by promoting cell regeneration evidence.

Studies done by Japanese scientists indicate that the enzymes in wheat grass can neutralise many environmental
pollutants. The enzymes and amino acids found in wheat grass can also protect us from carcinogens, like no other food or
medicine can, by fighting tumours and neutralizing toxins. The healing process begins as the therapeutic chlorophyll in
the grass catalyses the elimination of the stored toxins. As these toxins are eliminated, the body is cleansed and brought
back to its natural state of health.

Alternative health practitioners, doctors, organic enthusiasts, and natural food supporters have all pledged their support of
wheat grass, which provides more aid to the human body then most other foods combined. In today's world, where fast
foods and sugars dominate our lives, perhaps it is time that a less recognized, healthier alternative becomes popular.

                                     The Benefits of Real Wheat are immeasurable!

                                              Wheat Grass Vs Supplements

Antioxidant Vitamin E, naturally found in wheat grass, is approximately ten times more easily assimilated by the body
than any of the synthetic varieties.

Vitamin A, derived from animal products, or from manmade supplements, can become dangerously toxic - toxicity
warnings are issued with all Vitamin A supplements. In pregnant woman, high doses of Vitamin A can cause embryo
deformities. That is not the case with Vitamin A in wheat grass.

Wheat grass seems to have an amazing ability to pick up minerals from the soil, and is able to draw out more than 90 of
the minerals (out of an estimated possible 102), which could be found in rich soil! That means you are getting all the
vitamins and minerals naturally, no chemically altered substances!

                          Wheat grass is full of enzymes that are necessary for everyday living.

Irradiation treatments (on food) destroy enzymes and vitamins, thus making the body unbalanced.
Real Wheat has not been irradiated!

Enzymes cannot be duplicated by synthetic scientific means because they are life itself. Therefore, those taken as
supplements have little chance of performing the benefits expected of them.

                                                    Simple argument:

This super food is a gift of nature, not something cooked up in a laboratory. Wheat grass, being highly alkaline, is ideal
for counteracting the acidic modern diet, plus it's high in potassium, which is also lacking in many diets, due to our
unnatural eating habits. Real Wheat grass has many remarkable properties. So many, that if you are thinking of taking one
herbal supplement with your diet, wheat grass must be one of the front-runners.

                                                      When to take:

Ideally, wheat grass is taken about an hour prior to a meal. This allows the body to fully metabolize it without competing
with other foods; it may also curb your hunger so you eat less at meal times. It is recommended that you also drink lots of
water, to reap the optimum nutritional benefits. Taking Real Wheat as a supplement in the mid-morning or mid-afternoon
is a great way to get an energy boost.

                                                Allergies to Real Wheat?

By the way, if you have wheat allergy, there is nothing to fear. Many people are allergic to gluten, which is part of the
wheat berry; however, Real Wheat grass is the immature sprout that has not yet transformed into a glutinous grain, but is
instead a deeply green leafy vegetable that contains none of the allergic proteins common to grain. In fact, those who are
allergic to wheat grain do not experience any adverse reaction when consuming wheat in its leafy green stage.

                                        Why do we need “Super Green Food”?

Greens are our most important food, because they provide us with all of the essential components of health. They are our
food, as well as our medicine. Where green plants cannot grow, we cannot live.

Introduction to Wheatgrass

  • 1. REAL WHEAT 101 An Introduction to Wheatgrass Organic Wheatgrass has poetically been called „Nectar of Rejuvenation & Plasma of Youth” and is what health buffs call “complete food.” Look around and you will see wheat grass popping up just about everywhere. It is offered in health bars as fresh juice, added to salads, smoothies and many other food products, or can be bought in tablets, capsules and powders. Athletes and health conscious people have used the fresh juice and its dry products for many years now, with the general public slowly but surely warming to it too. Dehydrated wheat grass is convenient, nutritious, and safe for anyone looking to improve their physical and mental well- being. If you are looking for a health elixir... wheat grass is “it”! People in fast paced societies like ours often eat very little, or none at all, of deep green, leafy vegetables. And those of us who eat them regularly don‟t usually consume anywhere near the amount we need for balanced healthy living, unless we supplement our diet with nutrient concentrated green foods like wheat grass. Well, maybe if you eat enough green leafy vegetables you'd see some similar health giving effects, but you would need to eat truckloads of raw (not cooked) green vegetables. Compared to the costs of other vegetables, wheat grass is a real bargain, as well as being an extremely good way to make sure you obtain enough of the nutrients and fibres provided by deep green, leafy vegetables in your diet. And a major advantage, which it has over most vegetables, is that it can easily be grown organically. What is Wheat Grass? Dr. Earp-Thomas said, “Wheat is the king of all grain foods". Wheat grass is grown from the Red Wheat Berry, a special strain of wheat that produces high concentrations of chlorophyll, antioxidants, active enzymes, vitamins, vital amino acids and other nutrients - as such, it is one of the most nutrient dense substances on Earth. It is packed with essential fatty acids and chlorophyll. A study done in 1930 found that animals could survive on grass alone, but failed on other healthy vegetables like carrots and spinach! Wheat grass is a lush green plant that will eventually become a shaft of wheat, produce grain and be harvested. It has a completely different structure when it is still in the grass stage. At only seven days, the blade is 6 to 9 inches tall and can be cut, juiced and then dried into leaf powder, which can be tableted or capsulated. The result is a product abundant with vitamins, minerals, enzymes, chlorophyll and vital life energy. Weight Loss Many people use dehydrated wheat grass as a part of their weight-loss and weight-control programs. The tablets, capsules or powders provide extremely nutrient dense food, which is very low in calories and expands when water is added. This results in a person eating less food, yet not feeling as hungry. While fresh juice is certainly the best way to obtain the chlorophyll, vitamins and enzymes that you need, wheat grass juice does not provide the roughage of dehydrated wheat grass, which is necessary for weight-loss purposes.
  • 2. No one claims that dehydrated product is the same as fresh. However, the dehydrated wheat grass leaves are grown outdoors, under normal conditions, and harvested when they reach their peak concentration of the chlorophyll, vitamins, enzymes and protein that is so desperately needed by our stressed and depleted bodies. Nutrients Wheat grass contains over eighty different minerals, is high in fibre, and averages 25% protein (more than meat, fish, eggs, beans or dairy products). It is also more concentrated in iron than spinach but, unlike spinach, contains little or no oxalic acid, which binds the useable calcium in the system and can leach calcium from teeth and bones. Wheat grass has about as much magnesium as broccoli, Brussels sprouts (who likes them?), beets and carrots. Magnesium is vital for muscle contraction and bowel health. Potassium, ”the youth mineral”, which is plentiful in wheat grass, maintains mineral balance, tones the muscles, firms the skin, and promotes overall beauty. If you are on a calorie restricted eating plan for weight loss, you can have all the potassium you need if you use wheat grass, without all the calories from the potassium rich fruits such as bananas. Wheat grass contains about the same amount of Vitamin C as citrus fruits, and more than common vegetables like tomatoes or potatoes. As you know, Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant crucial to the health of the skin, teeth, gums, muscles, and joints. If you do not eat animal products, you will be thrilled to find out that wheat grass is rich in Vitamin A, which is essential for maintaining healthy eyes and skin, as well as supporting normal development and reproduction. Antioxidant Vitamin E” protector of the heart” is a fat-soluble “fertility” vitamin, responsible for the healing of wounds and infections, and prevention of muscle degeneration. Wheat grass is a good source of calcium, which is essential for strong bones and teeth, in addition to acting as a buffer to restore balance to blood pH. Those on a sodium restricted eating plan will be pleased to hear that wheat grass contains only a bare minimum of organic sodium! Protein benefits More than 50% of the dry weight of human body is protein, which is important for the healthy appearance of our hair, skin, nails and other body tissues. To stay in good health, we need to supply our bodies with food that contains a protein structure virtually identical to our body. Protein found in meat and dairy unfortunately does not have the ideal protein structure, and is further distorted by cooking. A flesh and dairy eating human body goes into overdrive, to adapt to these foreign protein sources, and must learn how to extract the necessary nutrients. The unused portions (wastes), are then stored in the body as fat and other toxic residues, which then begin to degenerate, causing a breakdown of the immune system and structural damage to organs and body tissue. It is much more sensible to ingest protein from food that resembles the protein structure in our body. Super green food protein is the optimal form of protein. Out of 21 needed amino acids, green food contains 18. Our body itself manufactures the other 3. Many professional athletes rely on green food such as wheat grass, for the strength and stamina it gives them. Greens foods are a great choice of protein, having twice the protein of hamburgers by weight, without the added cholesterol and fat! What is Chlorophyll? Chlorophyll “liquid sunshine” is the protein in plant life, and closely resembles the molecules of human red blood cells. By taking a percentage of green foods and juices every day, you are adding vital nutrients such as minerals, enzymes,
  • 3. vitamins, oxygen, and protein to your blood. Nature uses chlorophyll as a body cleanser, re-builder and neutralizer of toxins and it may even play an important role in prevention of certain cancers. Researchers, in the early 1980s, discovered that chlorophylls, and other related chemicals, could inhibit the ability of certain DNA-damaging chemicals to cause mutations in bacteria. Human cancers carry mutations in one or more genes that control the rates at which individual cells divide, differentiate, or die. Various combinations of mutations that upset this delicate balance, in favour of uncontrolled cell growth, can then enable this irreversibly damaged cell to form a primary cancer in the lung, liver, blood, bone, skin, or other body organ. Therefore, it seems at least theoretically possible that the anti-mutagenic power of chlorophyll might allow it to inhibit the formation of cancers in humans. Benefits of chlorophyll Purifying: Chlorophyll is a natural antiseptic with anti-bacterial effect on wounds, and has an anti-yeast effect in the digestive tract, helping with Candida challenges. Anti-Inflammatory: Chlorophyll assists in reducing inflammation. It can be used to help counteract the effects of arthritis, stomach ulcers, colitis, sore throats, and other inflammatory conditions. Nourishing: Chlorophyll builds blood, promotes healthy intestinal flora, and assists in liver cleansing. What are enzymes? Whether you have a cut you want to heal or desire to lose five pounds, enzymes must do the actual work. The life and abilities of the enzymes found naturally in our bodies can be extended if we help them from the outside, by adding enzymes like the ones found in wheat grass. Think of enzymes as highly skilled workers. Each enzyme performs a specific function within the body, while in union with other enzymes. It is crucial for the human body to ingest adequate enzymes on a daily basis, if we don‟t it will eventually result in overall poor health. Unfortunately, we don't get all the enzymes we need from the cooked, sugary, over salted and over processed foods we tend to eat on a daily basis. If your body has to use its own enzymes for the digestion of nutrient and enzyme depleted food, those enzymes will be robbed from the other organs which weaken them and make them more susceptible to degenerative diseases. The body is then prone to allergic reactions, due to a deficiency in enzymes. Enzymes have also been linked to the prevention and curing of cancer. Enzymes deter the cancer cells ability to hide from the immune system and spread throughout the body. Enzymes are simply the key to well-being. Research: Wheat grass Some of the earliest research done with wheat grass was conducted by the animal foods industry, in the search for a concentrated green food that would increase the vitamin content of their products. Many different grasses and plants were studied and the best results were achieved with wheat grass. These researchers found that only a small amount of dehydrated wheat grass was needed (six to ten per cent), in addition to the regular feed, to achieve superior health and fertility. Milk production in cows increased, chickens laid more eggs and other animals produced larger litters of young ones that grew faster, stronger and healthier. Later, medical studies confirmed its health giving benefits for humans, as well.
  • 4. From the human point of view, research suggests that eating dark green vegetables and foods high in beta carotene offers some protection from the development of lung cancer, with reduced risk of cancers of the ovary, cervix, stomach and colon. Some research has even indicated that the risk of cancer can be reduced by fifty per cent, by ensuring adequate amounts of green foods in the diet. Researchers have found that wheat grass contains natural antiseptics and antibiotics that seem to stimulate healing by promoting cell regeneration evidence. Studies done by Japanese scientists indicate that the enzymes in wheat grass can neutralise many environmental pollutants. The enzymes and amino acids found in wheat grass can also protect us from carcinogens, like no other food or medicine can, by fighting tumours and neutralizing toxins. The healing process begins as the therapeutic chlorophyll in the grass catalyses the elimination of the stored toxins. As these toxins are eliminated, the body is cleansed and brought back to its natural state of health. Alternative health practitioners, doctors, organic enthusiasts, and natural food supporters have all pledged their support of wheat grass, which provides more aid to the human body then most other foods combined. In today's world, where fast foods and sugars dominate our lives, perhaps it is time that a less recognized, healthier alternative becomes popular. The Benefits of Real Wheat are immeasurable!  Vitamin and mineral health bomb  Improved mental concentration  Higher level of energy  Blood tonic  Rebalances the body’s pH (alkalising)  Neutralises environmental toxins (super-detoxifying)  Fulfil nutritional deficiencies  Juiced - is one of the best sources of living chlorophyll available.  Rich in enzymes  Regulates bowel movements.  Helps with skin problems.  Balances blood sugar levels (hypoglycaemia)  Fertility enhancer  Easily digestible  High in oxygen (The brain and all body tissues function at an optimal level in a highly-oxygenated environment.)  Very high in superoxide dismutase (SOD), an anti-cancer factor  Stimulates metabolism  Lowers blood pressure Wheat Grass Vs Supplements Antioxidant Vitamin E, naturally found in wheat grass, is approximately ten times more easily assimilated by the body than any of the synthetic varieties. Vitamin A, derived from animal products, or from manmade supplements, can become dangerously toxic - toxicity warnings are issued with all Vitamin A supplements. In pregnant woman, high doses of Vitamin A can cause embryo deformities. That is not the case with Vitamin A in wheat grass. Wheat grass seems to have an amazing ability to pick up minerals from the soil, and is able to draw out more than 90 of the minerals (out of an estimated possible 102), which could be found in rich soil! That means you are getting all the vitamins and minerals naturally, no chemically altered substances! Wheat grass is full of enzymes that are necessary for everyday living. Irradiation treatments (on food) destroy enzymes and vitamins, thus making the body unbalanced.
  • 5. Real Wheat has not been irradiated! Enzymes cannot be duplicated by synthetic scientific means because they are life itself. Therefore, those taken as supplements have little chance of performing the benefits expected of them. Simple argument: This super food is a gift of nature, not something cooked up in a laboratory. Wheat grass, being highly alkaline, is ideal for counteracting the acidic modern diet, plus it's high in potassium, which is also lacking in many diets, due to our unnatural eating habits. Real Wheat grass has many remarkable properties. So many, that if you are thinking of taking one herbal supplement with your diet, wheat grass must be one of the front-runners. When to take: Ideally, wheat grass is taken about an hour prior to a meal. This allows the body to fully metabolize it without competing with other foods; it may also curb your hunger so you eat less at meal times. It is recommended that you also drink lots of water, to reap the optimum nutritional benefits. Taking Real Wheat as a supplement in the mid-morning or mid-afternoon is a great way to get an energy boost. Allergies to Real Wheat? By the way, if you have wheat allergy, there is nothing to fear. Many people are allergic to gluten, which is part of the wheat berry; however, Real Wheat grass is the immature sprout that has not yet transformed into a glutinous grain, but is instead a deeply green leafy vegetable that contains none of the allergic proteins common to grain. In fact, those who are allergic to wheat grain do not experience any adverse reaction when consuming wheat in its leafy green stage. Why do we need “Super Green Food”? Greens are our most important food, because they provide us with all of the essential components of health. They are our food, as well as our medicine. Where green plants cannot grow, we cannot live.
