Wheatgrass juice, made from sprounted wheat berries, is said to be high in chlorophyll. Wheatgrass takes 10-12 days to grow before juicing and it needs special care that sprouts do not.

Wheatgrass

Wheatgrass was not used this way until the 1930s, so it has not been used for centuries, and essentially that was a self-defeating argument. Wheatgrass juice has been successfully used to treat anemia in humans. Wheatgrass has been shown to expand the blood vessels and improve circulation; this improves oxygenation of blood and the ability to rid the blood of toxins.

Health

Although no research exists that directly connects chlorophyll with blood building, many nutrients associated with dark green leafy vegetables have been shown to be important for healthy blood. It has been reported that Chlorophyll has regenerative properties and studies have supported its power as an immune booster, free radical fighter, energizer and promoter of healthy circulation.

Everybody has heard of Echinacea. It is a flower and is used in many herbal products. The traditional use is for the soothing the common cold but it can also be used to treat snake bites and old or difficult wounds. In fact, any situation where the body is suffering from attack from infection, can be suitable for the use of Echinacea

The use of the plant as a remedy was very popular in the 19th century. Nowadays it is still used for its antiviral, antifungal, and antibacterial properties. Even AIDS patients have been given herbal remedies based on the plant.

Sweets will rot your teeth and make you fat. True? Maybe in part, however more likely an over-exaggerated sweeping statement. When it comes to sweets moderation is the key. But what is moderation? Obviously moderation is not the general rule, or we would not be experiencing the hike in diabetes .

Let’s explore some of the real issues with refined white sugar

I rarely get to watch television, so I was happy to find myself in front TV watching a food show recently. The week’s topic was Sweets. It always surprises me to see refined sugar and all its products exalted as fun, exciting even, and (while a bit ?naughty’) a normal part of our diet. The host mentioned that in New Zealand we eat tonnes of it.

You may be surprised to know that your body’s pH balance is your first defense against aging and disease. The balance of acid and alkaline in your body directly affects your health. Osteoporosis, for example, is the result of a pH balance problem. As the body becomes more acidic, it takes calcium from the bones, teeth and tissue as it tries to remain healthy. The bone mass becomes depleted, causing osteoporosis. We need calcium to bring the alkaline pH up and the acid levels down.

Although we need an alkaline-based diet for proper health, the typical American diet is full of acid-forming foods: manufactured, processed foods; high fat foods; mucus forming foods; and foods with toxic residues. In addition, stress and lack of exercise create acid-forming conditions. This is a recipe for disaster, and the reason that so many people feel unwell and lethargic.

The good news is that you can improve your health and well-being by choosing a healthy lifestyle. In the process, you’ll slow down the aging process and increase your energy levels. The six keys to vibrant health are:

1. pH Body Balance - Work on a daily basis to maintain your body’s pH balance. There are products available that are tasteless and colorless and can be added to water in order to restore your body’s pH balance by neutralizing acids and allowing your body to detoxify.

2. Water - On a daily basis, ingest at least eight 8-ounce glasses of spring water or water pH balanced at 7 or higher.

3. Release Toxins - Every six months to a year, have a liver/gallbladder flush; have a monthly colon cleansing; and have regular, daily bowel movements through eating a diet high in fiber.

4. Digestion - Eat five to seven small meals a day. Chew slowly and completely, and stop before you are full. Take digestive enzymes and probiotics as needed.

5. Nutrition - Follow a pH balanced diet of 80 percent alkaline and no more than 20% acidic-forming foods at each meal. Eat organic foods in their natural state. Supplement your diet with a natural health supplement containing calcium, vitamins and minerals.

6. Skin Care - Your skin is the body’s natural barrier to infection and it needs to be pH balanced. Clogged pores can cause toxic conditions inside the body. Choose a skin care product that cleans the skin and maintains the body’s natural pH level, and that contains no animal fats, harmful chemicals, or preservatives.

Achieving natural health doesn’t require a miracle; you simply must adjust your body to its proper pH balance, and provide it with the correct amounts of calcium and minerals.
