Although the taste may leave much to be desired, it's benefits are so so many. As far as off-tasting drinks and such go, I know many of us would prefer to throw back a few shots of Jager because although it doesn't particularly have the best taste, the result of something like Jager is pretty obvious right? It gets you really wasted! So that is why many of us put up with that nasty wet black licorice taste.
Now you may now think so, but Wheat Grass is very similar to me in that respect. Because Wheat Grass also has it's many benefits. Besides doing wonders for your skin by giving you this awesome healthy glow and providing your body's natural inmmune system with an incredible boost that can be sustained with continued consumption of it, but it also can aid with weight loss in a wide variety of ways.
FIRST - DETOXIFICATION
Wheat Grass increases blood flow. By prelocating oxygen to the cells, it stimulates digestion. Whether you're sick or not, Wheat Grass improves your health, cleansing out your intestines by drawing out the accumulation of toxins that reside there. Compounds like chlororphyll (which gives plants their green color and healthy texture) boost the production of nutrients in your cells.
Next, Metabolism
Did you know that your thyroid gland regulates your metabolic rate? Did you know that if your metabolic rate is stimulated and speeds up, you burn fat? Now what if I told you that Wheat Grass speeds up your metabolism by stimulating your thyroid gland? Hypothyroidism impedes your metabolic rate and makes you gain weight. So a healthy thyroid stimulate weight loss. And not just any kind of weight loss, but fat loss.
NUTRITION
Now of course Wheat Grass is green, it comes from the earth, and it is edible, So in layman's terms, of course it is nutritious. It is nutrient dense, with over 80 different types of potent nutrients including minerals, vitamins, and amino acids. It is low in calories, and is also an appetite suppressant.
Although this may seem obvious, but think about it. Cravings are a big part of obesity. Companies that produce fast foods use a particular method that creates food products with empty calories, high in sugars and carbs, that are low in fiber and protein. This makes food addictive, while at the same time having undesirable digestive consequences.
Also gluten free for those of you who are sensitive to it, so you will find gluten to be an awesome healthy alternative to other gluten-filled high calorie snacks. High in potassium which aids in building some hot sexy muscle tone, which by consquence burns even more fat. So eat Wheat Grass, build some soon to be oiled-up beach muscles, burn some fat, so all those muscles will show through, and next thing you know, you're going notice a striking change in your appearance.
Alas, Energy
In short words Wheat Grass boosts your body's energy and, makes you want to move, to get your ass up and do something. That is one giant leap towards fat loss. And since Wheat Grass itself is indeed a superfood, using the most organic forms of it, gets you the best results.
So you see? Wheat Grass has so many benefits to it, that it shouldn't take much to get over the taste of the stuff. Get yourself a juicer if you don't already have one, go to your local supermarket or farmer's market and buy yourself a few trays of Wheat Grass. I grow my own. And since it grows using a fungus and not dirt, there is like almost no mess at all. Be sure to refrigerate, and eat and/or drink well my friends. And if you have any questions. go ahead and drop me a line as always.
