Consuming fresh wheatgrass regularly provides many benefits such as reversing gray hair color back to its natural color. Wheatgrass may also slow down the aging process due to its ability to rejuvenate.
In most cases, the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) connects hair pigmentation to the blood and kidneys. In addition, the body produces less catalase enzymes to speed up aging.
When the levels of enzyme catalase drop, hydrogen peroxide can no longer be broken down. As a result, hydrogen peroxide builds up in the hair that causes it to turn gray.
Wheatgrass are a common wheat plant and are a subspecies of the family Poaceae. Wheatgrass is typically harvested while still young and tender to dry up the leaves to be made into a powder supplement, according to Natural News.
Naturally produced by plants as they photosynthesize during the day, chlorophyll is what makes plants green. Since wheatgrass has an extremely concentrated supply of chlorophyll, wheatgrass can help strengthen, build and oxygenate the blood to rejuvenate, protect and strengthen cells, tissues and organs.
Wheatgrass can also help slow down the entire process of aging by the rejuvenation of cells, detoxification of the body, and the tightening of loose and sagging skin. Aside from cleansing the blood from toxins and impurities, wheatgrass provides a significant boost of energy levels and has been known to cure many types of blood disorders.
Wheatgrass can also protect the liver by neutralizing toxic substances such mercury, polyvinyl chloride and cadmium. The powerful ingredient is also known to take the offensive as a proven anti-cancer agent that can stop tumors from coming back by boosting the assembly of red blood cells and mounting oxygen levels in the blood.
Aside from having a 70 percent chlorophyll composition, wheatgrass contains 19 essential amino acids, 80 enzymes, 13 vitamins and 90 minerals, according to the Underground Health Reporter. "Fifteen pounds of wheatgrass is the equivalent of 350 pounds of carrots, lettuce, celery and so forth," according to Dr. Earp-Thomas, a renowned research scientist.
Consuming 1 to 2 fluid ounces of freshly squeezed wheatgrass a day can turn gray hair back to its natural color. This is the equivalent of one tablespoon of wheatgrass powder or 7 to 10 wheatgrass tablets (500 grams) a day.
