WATCH OUT FOR WHEATGRASS Here’s why you should include this superfood regularly in your diet

 There's no need to frown at the thought of drinking wheatgrass juice. It is, after all, one of the potent sources of living chlorophyll and health experts swear by its benefits. Botanically, the plant is known as Triticum Aestivum. Wheat grass is said to contain 98 of 102 earth elements and here are some of the benefits of this plant: 
PROTEIN-RICH: Wheatgrass contains about 19 amino acids, making it a protein-rich food. 
ANTISEPTIC PROPERTIES: Its antiseptic properties make it ideal for healing bruises, rashes, insect bites, sores, etc. It also acts as a soothing agent for sunburnt skin. 
GOOD FOR DENTAL PROBLEMS: Improve your dental health by massaging your gums with wheatgrass powder. It will heal gum problems. 
INCREASES RED BLOOD CELLS: Consume wheatgrass regularly, to increase the red blood cell count. In fact, blood-building takes place faster when one consumes natural dark green juices, including wheatgrass. 

GREAT FOR HAIR: 
Mix some wheatgrass powder along with normal shampoo, to repair damaged hair. Rinsing the scalp with the powder is another remedy for dandruff. Also, you can get rid of greying hair by regularly consuming the plant juice. 
RICH IN VITAMIN C: Wheatgrass contains greater amounts of Vitamin C than oranges and twice the amount of Vitamin A content than carrots which is good for the eyes. 

ANT-AGEING PROPERTIES: The presence of natural anti-ageing properties aids in rejuvenating cells, thereby slowing the ageing process. It maintains skin elasticity by tackling the problem of sagging skin. Prepare a paste of wheatgrass powder mixed with milk and apply on the face for 10-15 minutes. It will help get rid of acne and pimples. 
WARDS OF RADIATION EFFECTS: Who would have thought that having wheatgrass could ward off the effects of radiation? An enzyme called SOD, present in wheatgrass, reduces the effects of radiation and might prevent cellular damage due to its antiinflammatory compounds. 
BOOSTS HAEMOGLOBIN PRODUCTION: Breathing acidic gases and polluted air harms the lungs. This damage can be repaired with the chlorophyll present in wheatgrass. It increases the production of haemoglobin in the blood. 
RESTORES ALKALINITY IN THE BLOOD: Drinking wheatgrass juice reduces acidity levels in the body and restores alkalinity in the blood. This helps reduce problems like diarrhoea, constipation, ulcers, etc. 
DETOXIFYING PROPERTIES: Wheatgrass contains powerful detoxifying properties. It improves cell strength, detoxifies the bloodstream and liver and
offers protection form carcinogens. 
DID YOU KNOW? 
A wheatgrass juice shot measuring 30ml is equal to one kg of leafy green vegetables, in nutritional value. A teaspoon of wheatgrass powder is nutritionally equal to a spinach salad weighing 50 gms

Wheatgrass is great for your skin, hair, eyes and much more
