Another day of our education of the "150 Healthiest Foods on Earth". Woo Hoo! Some of these you won't be surprised by, some you will. I'll take one out of each food group each day to mix it up a bit. All information is from the book by jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S. "The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth".

GREEN FOODS AND DRINKS (CEREAL GRASSES: BARLEY GRASS AND WHEATGRASS; AND MICROALGAE: SPIRULINA, CHLORELLA, AND WILD BLUE-GREEN ALA)
Intro: If dogs happen to be a part of your family, you've undoubtedly seen them eat grass. Why? No on ereally knows. Some people believe that dogs eat cereal grasses because they contain nutrients not found in meat that are essential for the animals' good health. One thing is for sure--grass is a rich source of nutrients, and "green foods" made from cereal grasses and algae are among the healthiest foods I know of for humans.
* Chlorophyll, the substance that makes plants appear green, is a natural blood purifier. Since everything - from anaerobic bacteria to yeart and fungus - travels through the blood, our own immune system creates complexes that attack these foreign substances, and chlorophyll assists our bodies in cleaning out the "Sludge" that can cause damage.
* Chlorophyll is a natural anti-inflammatory
* Helps balace acid and alkaline for optimal health. All kinds of things can cause acidity - stress, rock music, sugar, and many foods. But if you balance your body with alkaline substances - such as spirulina, algae, and chlorella, all 'supergreens' with the benefits of chlorophyll - you can maintain the pH of your body at the right level, which goes a long way towards increasing yoru resistance to disease.
* FYI people who are allergic to wheat are almost never allergic to wheat in its grass stage
* Barley grass is a great alternative for those who can't tolerate wheatgrass. It's milder, though bitter compared to the sweetness of wheatgrass.
* Barley juice improves stamina, sexual energy, clarity of thought, and reduces addiction to thigns that are bad for you. It also improves the texture of the skin and heals the dryness associated with aging.
* Wheatgrass is believed to cleanse the lymph system, restore balance in the body, help remove toxic metals from the cells, and restore vitality.
* one ounce of wheatgrass juice is believed to have the vitamin and mineral equivalent of more than 2 pounds of vegetables
WORTH KNOWING:
There are many good brands of "green drinks," but the best of them use high-quality grasses, and extracts grown in rich soil, organically. Two of my favorite brands are ProGreens by Allergy Research and PaleoGreens by Designs for Healthy, both of which are available through links in the "Shopping for Supplements" section of the website, www.jonnybowden.com.

GREEN FOODS AND DRINKS (CEREAL GRASSES: BARLEY GRASS AND WHEATGRASS; AND MICROALGAE: SPIRULINA, CHLORELLA, AND WILD BLUE-GREEN ALA)
Intro: If dogs happen to be a part of your family, you've undoubtedly seen them eat grass. Why? No on ereally knows.

One thing is for sure--grass is a rich source of nutrients, and "green foods" made from cereal grasses and algae are among the healthiest foods I know of for humans.
* Chlorophyll, the substance that makes plants appear green, is a natural blood purifier. Since everything - from anaerobic bacteria to yeart and fungus - travels through the blood, our own immune system creates complexes that attack these foreign substances, and chlorophyll assists our bodies in cleaning out the "Sludge" that can cause damage.
* Chlorophyll is a natural anti-inflammatory
* Helps balace acid and alkaline for optimal health. All kinds of things can cause acidity - stress, rock music, sugar, and many foods. But if you balance your body with alkaline substances - such as spirulina, algae, and chlorella, all 'supergreens' with the benefits of chlorophyll - you can maintain the pH of your body at the right level, which goes a long way towards increasing yoru resistance to disease.
* FYI people who are allergic to wheat are almost never allergic to wheat in its grass stage
* Barley grass is a great alternative for those who can't tolerate wheatgrass. It's milder, though bitter compared to the sweetness of wheatgrass.
* Barley juice improves stamina, sexual energy, clarity of thought, and reduces addiction to thigns that are bad for you. It also improves the texture of the skin and heals the dryness associated with aging.
* Wheatgrass is believed to cleanse the lymph system, restore balance in the body, help remove toxic metals from the cells, and restore vitality.
* one ounce of wheatgrass juice is believed to have the vitamin and mineral equivalent of more than 2 pounds of vegetables
