A Product Review (Giveaway - CLOSED)

…And a giveaway for you too. But FIRST, let’s talk about what it is and of course my thoughts on the product itself.

Wheatgrass.

How many of you drink wheatgrass? Freshly juiced or powdered? I’m jealous of those who can stomach fresh wheatgrass shots on a regular basis. I wish I could but that’s too hard core for me! However, I love the benefits of wheatgrass. I know I’m missing out when not drinking it regularly.

Recently, I was provided with wheatgrass powder (plain and honey-sweetened) from BestOrganicWheatgrass.com. I’m always a little hesitant to try something “green” and uber-healthy so I hesitated to try it for the first couple of days. Sam tried it first and loved it! Which got me brave enough to try it myself. I first tried the honey one and mmm! It’s really good. Helps that it was sweetened but it had a nice flavor with no bad aftertaste. Next I tried the plain one (not at the same time as the honey one of course – ack!). And again, very pleasant flavor with no bad aftertaste. Of course, I favor the honey one only because it’s pre-sweetened but the plain could be sweetened to your liking too. And seriously, I’m not making this up: it is good.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Now I can have ALL of the wheatgrass benefits without the shocking wheatgrass taste from juicing it myself (come on, who’s with me on that?). Bonus: they’re individually wrapped so they stay fresher and you could take these on the go anywhere – just mix in a glass of water (can't get anymore convenient than that). Having the powder is also helpful in my case because we lost our wheatgrass juicer somewhere.

So those benefits I mentioned? Here’s what I mean:
  • Rich in chlorophyll (70%!) – helps support healthy blood circulation and helps prevent cancer by inhibiting the activity of carcinogens; antiseptic benefits, neutralizes infections, heals wounds, and aids digestion
  • Antioxidants galore – particularly rich in Superoxide Dismutase (SOD, like grass right?), which helps protect the DNA from free radical damage
  • Stimulates cellular repair and renewal
  • Toxin eliminator (your liver will thank you)
  • Anti-inflammatory – it’s found to have an even more potent anti-inflammatory effect than aspirin
  • Energizes
  • A deodorizer – who knew? In larger quantities it’s known to reduce or eliminate foul-smelling odors (body and breath)
  • And of course, ALKALINE – helps balance the pH in your blood; often called the King of alkaline foods
What I should also point out about this amazing stuff is that it is considered a complete food. This is because one serving of the Best Organic Wheatgrass powder provides 17 kinds of amino acids, 13 vitamins, 10 minerals, fiber, chlorophyll and over 100 types of enzymes. And it's gluten-free. Providing another great way of getting in your share of veggies and fiber for the day (best assimilated in the a.m. on an empty stomach).

More FYI, they grow the wheatgrass indoors, in a very controlled (i.e. sterile, air-conditioned, pollution-free) environment; only organic nutrients are used; grown aeroponically (no soil used [aka no mold] so they use the leaves and the roots); harvested on the 8th day thru a special high-tech process to ensure all nutrients are intact and available to use (basically it's a cold dried process thus maintaining the enzymes and nutrients).
And just for the record, I wouldn’t promote something I didn’t like just for the sake of a giveaway or anything else for that matter. I don’t roll like that. So I tried this out for awhile to see how my taste buds would like it and how my body would react. It’s all good! If I didn’t like it, we wouldn’t be having this conversation (or giveaway). Just lettin’ ya know.

Happy Friday! Thought I'd let someone else take the reins today and share with you an interesting topic. How Raw Diets Can Make a Difference Transitioning to a raw food diet is often thought of as only a personal choice, as a journey that one individually decides to embark on for whatever reason, whether it be ethical or health-related or some other reason entirely. But the Examiner in Sacramento suggests an interesting idea involving raw food diets that could potentially make a difference in the greater community. The social problem that the Examiner discusses is the city's increased problems with homelessness among seniors. The article reports that Sacramento has seen a sharp rise in the elderly being displaced, resulting from what many speculate the aging of the Baby Boomer generation. The article goes on to posit a refreshing new idea that would offer homeless seniors both a source of sustaining and sustainable nutrition and that would also give them something rewarding ...

WEGO Health: Superpower!

Image
We’ve all daydreamed about having a superpower like superheroes, haven’t we? I mean Superman can fly, reverse time (at least, in the name of love) and is uber strong. Spiderman, well, he uses web power to fly around and catch bad guys. There are other interesting superpowers like invisibility, walking through walls, shape shifting, or reading of the mind. That last one doesn’t interest me much ever since I watched an old episode of the Twilight Zone where the character could suddenly hear everyone’s thoughts and there was no filter so it became overwhelming and noisy in his head. Um, no thanks. At certain times though, I’ve wished for the ability. Could’ve saved a lot of problems, you know? Or be a fly on the wall… * According to this list, there’s insanely rich. I never really thought of that as a superpower per se but it is one I would love to have. That superpower should just be a given. With super wealth I could share it and help so many people, go to so many causes...

The "Glow"

Image
I know I'm supposed to be working on a different post - about my trip - but wanted to interrupt that to share something else. ******** People into the raw food lifestyle are familiar with the "glow." Maybe you're one who's been told a time or two that you have the glow. It's noticeable to spot a person who obviously is taking care of themselves by what they do and put into their bodies and especially when on the raw food lifestyle. Eating raw foods allows your body to properly process and digest foods plus all the those living enzymes and minerals means less work your body has to do so the result is a beautiful youthful glow. I have received such comments, which are always great to hear but I have been hearing this more so lately. From people who don't know me to people in the raw food world. When I was at our local raw vegan sto re one of the owners we nt on about how I (and hubby too) have transformed since she first met me; that I do have a healthy glow...
