The best ANTI-AGING Solution: Wheatgrass!

A youthful skin, shining white teeth, boundless energy and a trim body belong to everyone. With a formidable body of knowledge available to us about juices, herbs, and flowers, we can take stock of our lives and make changes that can not only make us feel better, but that can also make us look more youthful.

Wheatgrass has been extensively tested in the US for over 70 years. Much exciting information has come to light from this research. According to researchers, the young wheat plant contains substances that can actually encourage cells to grow younger instead of older as the years go by. Chlorophyll constitutes 70% of the solute in wheatgrass and has been extensively tested for its extraordinary healing powers.This green "life-blood" of the plant draws its energy from the light of the sun and has the ability to infuse our bloodstream with healing and regeneration.

Wheatgrass juice is made from the young blades of the wheat plant. It can be expressed in a wheatgrass juicer, or the grass can be blended in a liquidizer with water, (raw honey, edible flowers, etc. are optional) and strained to make a refreshing, nutritional drink. And it is not only the juice that makes wheatgrass worth its title of 'green gold'. Derivatives of wheat are currently being used in many leading cosmetic houses because of their antioxidant and vitamin E properties. These and other properties in wheat, and especially in wheatgrass, are powerful allies in the fight against aging skin. Inspired by the principle of photosynthesis -- that light creates energy, leading cosmetic houses have developed the science of cellular regeneration.

Wheatgrass is a superbly gentle skin cleanser and a wonderful toner. Doctors at the Temple University in Philadelphia discovered that the green solution seemed to thicken and strengthen the walls of animals. When applied regularly on to the skin, it will eventually fade blemishes and sunspots. It stimulates the growth of healthy, new skin and tightens older skin. It is absorbed easily and quickly by the skin, leaving it feeling silky-smooth and glowing. So, be kind to your skin and give it a fresh start with wheatgrass!
