Give the flu a kick in the grass

Grand Rapids, Mich. (WOTV) - Tis' the season for the flu. It seems like everywhere I turn, people are getting the flu, have the flu or recovering from the flu. What if I told you that I had something that could help your body PREVENT the flu by keeping your body alkaline and functioning at its peak? Expecting a pill, right? Think again. It's green, packed with mother nature's finest healing properties and you juice it: Wheatgrass!

Most buy it just for their pets, but it's great for YOU TOO. Check out some of the health benefits that Wheatgrass can provide.

Why Wheatgrass:

-Increases red blood-cell count and lowers blood pressure

-It cleanses the blood, organs and gastrointestinal tract of debris

-Stimulates metabolism and the body’s enzyme systems by enriching the blood

-Aids in reducing blood pressure by dilating the blood pathways throughout the body

-Stimulates the thyroid gland, correcting obesity, indigestion, and a host of other complaints

-Restores alkalinity to the blood

-Is a powerful detoxifier, and liver and blood protector

-Externally applied to the skin can help eliminate itching almost immediately 

-Sweetens the breath and firms up and tightens gums

-Turns gray hair BACK to its natural color again! (MY husband and I can personally attest to this one.)

How to Drink Wheatgrass:
Drink 2-6oz everyday as a shot/s, or put some wheatgrass juice in your blender the next time you are making a smoothie, or mix wheatgrass juice with pineapple juice and ginger juice for a morning "ZINGER"!

Where to Find Wheatgrass:

You can find containers of wheatgrass in the produce section of your local D&W Fresh Market . D&W Fresh Market-Knapp's Crossing now carries in-stock, flats of organic wheatgrass for $19.99/flat. And, for my favorite wheatgrass juicer, click here .

Cheers to your health!
