Benefits of Wheatgrass

This is my good friend that joined me on my last retreat. She is wearing a wheatgrass mustache

                                                                               


When I woke up this morning, I tried to pay attention to how I was feeling. My normal routine is, wake up, go downstairs, and head straight to the coffee maker. As I was lying in bed, I thought to myself, in about one week, I will wake up and not have that coffee to start my day. Instead, while at retreat, I will wake up, get dressed and juice wheatgrass. This will be my morning elixir for the two-weeks I will be there. Wheatgrass juice will be my medicine for the entire two-weeks!!

Wheatgrass is the most healing of all grasses. It can destroy cancer cells and has many minerals..calcium, magnesium, potassium and zinc. It is a great purifier for the liver, stomach and pancreas. Due to taking too many NSAIDS to help my chronic pain, I have developed gastritis. I experienced bleeding as well. For me, drinking wheatgrass will help heal my stomach as well as rejuvenate my organs.

If you have celiac disease or have a gluten intolerance, you are still able to consume wheatgrass...I will go into further detail in regards to gluten later.

Wheatgrass juice needs to be consumed on an empty stomach. Allowing 15-20 minutes to digest before any other food is eaten. I have found what works best for me is drinking it, then working out. This helps me tolerate any side effects I may experience. Some may get sick on wheatgrass, and for this reason, smaller amounts are better than larger. 2-ounces twice a day is recommended for consumption. More is NOT better!!


I now will post the beautiful benefits one can experience by consuming wheatgrass:


- Helps blood circulation
- Has numerous trace minerals
- Helps reduce blood pressure
- Helps remove toxins from the body
- Purifies the blood
- Helps constipation
- It is the most available form of chlorophyll therapy
- It is considered a complete food due to incorporating all of the necessary amino acids


 I also will use it for colon cleansing. The colon is the place where we hold most of our toxins. Hippocrates puts much emphasis on why it is important for us to clean the colon.


There are some people that DO-NOT have a normal bowel movement daily. This is very unhealthy due to the amount of food and chemicals that go into the body. We need to release these in order to be healthy. I will go into further detail while I am there regarding colon care.


So this is just a little bit of info of what I will be experiencing with wheatgrass juice.


As you can see, I am getting excited regarding my upcoming  trip to Hippocrates. I know by the end of those two-weeks, I will feel like a new person..inside and out!


My wish is that any of you reading this, will want to experience the journey that I am about to experience. And if so, I will be more than happy to talk with you about it.


Stay tuned....

Dealing With Chronic Pain

My main reason I look forward to going to Hippocrates, is so I can help my chronic pain. Due to a cervical fusion 11-yrs ago, I have developed arthritis and more stress on the spinal column. Usually when one has surgery, arthritis can set in and cause pain.  I need to find a new way, a healthier way so I can manage my pain without meds.


At Hippocrates, I will learn how to eat a diet that will heal, rejuvenate and cleanse my body. This type of diet is raw/vegan. I will incorporate wheatgrass, colon cleansing and massages to help the process.


With my posts, I will go into further detail how wheatgrass is the miracle food. It is the MAIN ingredient in the detox and I will explain how it can heal in many ways...internally and externally.

My First Post

                                                                       

 I have decided to blog my experience while on my healthy journey at Hippocrates Health Institute in West Palm Beach Florida.
  I will be leaving next Sunday, and will be staying there for two-full weeks. I am nervous, yet excited. I have dabbled in the holistic world for a few years now and like the idea of healing without drugs.


Over these next two-weeks prior to leaving, I will cut out caffeine, cut back on my sugar intake, meat and dairy. Doing this helps deter major detox symptoms. The detox can bring on headaches, body aches, nausea..yes, even vomiting. Sometimes it feels as if one has the flu. All of this may last a few days, up to one week. It all depends on the lifestyle one is living. The less chemicals you put into your body, the easier the transition is.


I am looking forward to blogging. This is the first time I have ever done this. I hear it is therapeutic as well as a great way to track your memories for many years to come.


Sooo...here I go...good clean living just around the corner.
