How Wheatgrass Help With Weight Loss

Since wheatgrass is promoted as a dietary supplement it is popular among those who wish to lose weight and body builders. For weight loss, wheatgrass is very low in calories and has no fat.
Since it can be incorporated in fresh fruit juices and smoothies, it helps us cut out on calorie-rich sodas and this promotes weight loss.
Those who wish to lose weight must also be able to get their daily dietary requirement. Some nutritionist believe that one kg of vegetables is said to be equal in value to 1 shot wheatgrass juice.
For those who find it difficult to consume this daily required quantity of vegetables, consuming the required quantity of wheatgrass could provide sufficient essential nutrients. 1

A lot of people consume dehydrated wheatgrass to help with weight loss. Dehydrated wheatgrass as capsules, powders or tablets is nutrient dense food and this expands when water combines with it.
When a person eats such foods, they feel full faster, when actually consuming lesser quantities. This means a person eats less food and still does not feel hungry. Hence, wheatgrass can help weight loss.
While dehydrated wheatgrass is not as rich in nutrients as wheatgrass juice, it does provide the roughage that is needed for weight loss programs.
And if wheatgrass is grown under the right conditions and is harvested at the right time and then dehydrated scientifically, it can still be rich in all the essential nutrients that raw wheatgrass has. Since it contains sufficient magnesium, it helps improve bowel health and with muscle contraction

Potassium is referred to as the ‘youth mineral’ and wheatgrass helps give all the required potassium without the calories that other potassium-rich foods like bananas contain.

Precautions

Consuming the right quantity of wheatgrass is generally considered safe. However, since it is grown in humid and moist conditions, chances of contamination from mold and bacteria are very high.
Hence the risk of infection increases especially if you consume wheatgrass raw. It must be washed properly before consumption.
You can even get pasteurized wheatgrass in stores that will not be contaminated. Those who suffer from gluten intolerance, celiac disease, and grass or wheat allergy or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding must not consume wheatgrass.
Even those who wish to consume wheatgrass for weight loss must consult their doctors before doing so. Wheatgrass is not a miracle cure and cannot replace a healthy diet of fresh vegetables and fruits. Consumed sensibly, it can add variation to your daily diet.

Benefits Of Wheatgrass Powder

Wheatgrass Powder Beginnings

Although the use of wheat grass for health and healing can be traced to ancient Egypt, Western world consumption began in the 1930s as a result of Charles F. Schnabel's work. His experiments with nursing dying chickens back to healthy, highly productive states -- using fresh wheatgrass -- encouraged him to begin drying and powdering wheatgrass as a dietary supplement for family and neighbors. Thus began the development of wheatgrass powder -- a convenient and effective way to get the powerful benefits of fresh grass.

Digestive Relief

Many people experience painful digestive disorders. Wheatgrass is linked to improved digestive system function and constipation prevention. It's also used as treatment for irritable bowel syndrome and acid reflux disease, according to UCLA Brain Research Institute. An article published in "Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology" in April 2002 noted that wheatgrass appears to be safe and effective as a treatment for certain gastrointestinal conditions.

Chlorophyll Benefits

Wheatgrass is a source of chlorophyll, a potent health agent, according to Columbia University. Positive effects of chlorophyll -- a component of chlorophyll -- include protecting against liver cancer, reducing damage from cancer-causing substances and combating colon cancer. Wheatgrass is 70 percent chlorophyll. An article published in "Cancer Epidemiology, Bio-markers and Prevention" in April 2006 noted that the data from a study done on colorectal cancer suggested that consuming more chlorophyll-containing greens, while reducing red meat intake, may reduce the risk of colon cancer.

Antioxidant Properties

Antioxidants are substances that help protect your body from free radicals -- unstable molecules that damage healthy cells. Wheatgrass contains vitamins A, C and E -- all potent antioxidants. An article published in "International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition" in September 2012 revealed that a study conducted to determine the effects of freeze-dried and hot-air dried wheatgrass on antioxidant properties showed freeze-dried wheatgrass provided higher antioxidant value than fresh wheatgrass.
