Wheat Grass Juice: Nature's Blood Builder and Detoxifier

A Few Quick Wheatgrass and Chlorophyll Facts

If you're even slightly anemic, adding fresh wheat grass juice to your diet is a super-smart move. Why? Well, for starters, wheatgrass juice is filled with chlorophyll.

Chlorophyll is the phytochemical that gives plants their green color. You might say that chlorophyll is to plants what blood is to humans and animals.

Hemoglobin is the iron-rich protein in red blood cells. It carries oxygen from our lungs to our body tissues. When our hemoglobin levels drop, we become anemic.

We also experience tiredness, because our blood becomes less able to carry enough oxygen to our body parts. Lower oxygen levels = lower energy levels in the body.

Check out the photo below and you'll see see that CHLOROPHYLL and HEME--heme is the oxygen-carrying part of hemoglobin--are very similar in structure.

Various studies have shown that raw chlorophyll improves red blood cell counts in both humans and animals.

This is great news for those of us who need to build up our blood!
