I thought taking wheatgrass was just another fad that would soon be gone but, I am amazed at all the changes I've noted in just one month of taking it.
I began to take it because I read that it would increase my energy levels. I'm always on the hunt for natural ways to boost my energy levels because I'm so busy.
Let's face it! You have to dig really deep when you're running a business, studying for a Master's degree and taking on two new careers at the same time! Whew, I tired myself out just thinking about all that's happening lately!
Anywho, I ordered the powder from my back office (item #50197-Ultimate Youth Green Superfood) and immediately began to use it in my daily protein shakes. I noticed a difference almost immediately!
I was ready to get my day going but being on the run all day made it hard for me to incorporate this incredible superfood throughout my day.
Once I found out it has B vitamins in addition to protein, I was sold!
Wheatgrass has the widest variety of vitamins and minerals around so the need for all the vitamins for this and supplements for that have virtually disappeared since I started this journey.
I started out looking for energy and here I have found a cancer fighting, blood pressure reducing, tooth decay preventing(hold liquid wheatgrass in the mouth for 5 minutes and it pulls poisons from the gums-I hear), toxin neutralizing son of a gun!
Do you know that if you mix the powdered form with water to make a paste, it can relieve that cracked up skin you get on your heels ladies? Yep! I actually tried that this week and I have to say, I notice a difference, but I may not be the best candidate to tell that story because I take pretty good care of my feet with my foot care line I told you about in my last post. Someone who really has a problem with cracked heels will have to try it and let me know.
Wheatgrass is also said to be a wonderful resource if you're suffering from constipation too. I know a lot of people confess that they don't drink enough water and that really is the number one thing you should do if you're suffering from constipation but wheatgrass is definitely worth a shot, especially with all of the other benefits that come with adding it to your daily routine.
I actually found some wheatgrass pills and I take them with every meal in addition to my morning energy shake and I tell you, it's a phenomenal feeling.
I've suffered with skin problems since I was a teenager and in the last month, I've noticed that I haven't gotten any new breakouts, not even the PMS breakouts I've grown used to. My skin looks clearer and not as oily as it has been for my whole life.
I haven't lost weight like I expected to doing the fish only sacrifice for Lent but, I haven't gained any either. I've read that wheatgrass can assist in weight loss so you know I will be keeping a close eye on the progress on that front right?
I've loaded you guys up with a lot and I'm not even finished yet. There will definitely be a part two to my wheatgrass journey, perhaps more as I begin to notice all of the changes that are happening.
I'm in the middle of certifying to become a personal trainer so I'm sure that the knowledge I'm gaining on that front will be of assistance to someone, somewhere soon. The added benefit of this wheatgrass journey can only be a positive one so I'm happily on my way! Wish me luck. If you have any questions, feel free to post a comment. I love sharing the knowledge I'm gaining while I'm on this journey to living longer, younger and prettier! I'd love to have people join me on this journey so we can live longer, younger and prettier together! How about them apples? :)
