In our Alkalize greens formula, the primary ingredient is organic wheat grass leaf powder. So, why do we love it and why is it the prima donna of our beloved blend?
We have a saying at SWW - “Always be alkalizing.” In our modern day environment we are constantly exposed to factors that promote acidity and strain our buffer systems - such as stress, over exercising, sugar, alcohol, coffee, seed oils, pollution, and the list goes on. Although our body does a fantastic job of keeping our blood and cellular environment at a set pH, we do require temporary buffer systems from mineral stores to prevent a pH change and eventually those systems are strained.
Integrating more alkalizing greens and vegetables into our diet is a helpful way to support those buffer systems so we can effectively combat daily stressors.
Wheat grass is our prized Alkalize ingredient as it has an alkaline pH of 7.4 and is rich in so many nutrients - chlorophyll, flavonoids, antioxidants, enzymes, vitamins and minerals.
Outside of alkalizing, wheat grass is also beneficial for other functions in the body:
-
Helps combat carcinogen forming chemicals
-
Supports a healthy inflammatory response
-
Modulates the immune system
-
Supports healthy blood glucose levels
-
Aids in bodily detox
-
Helps decrease oxidative stress in the body
-
Provides a rich supply of antioxidants
-
Supports bone health
-
Improves digestion
-
Enhances a healthy microbiome
As wheatgrass is extremely rich in flavonoids and antioxidants its benefits are endless. It is also easy and safe to consume so worth discovering how it supports that overall feeling of vitality and wellness we are all striving for.
