Question - What’s so special about wheatgrass?
I hear a lot about the product and see plenty of lines for wheatgrass smoothies. While I have seen all of this excitement over it, I’ve never taken the time to research the question - what’s the big deal about it? I understand it has to be a health thing, but what about it makes it so good? After a bit of research, I have a couple of varying answers. While there is a strong fanbase over the grass, and several sites such as WebMD and MayoClinic anticipate seeing the potential benefits of it, these sites also pose the issue that there is no real evidence that wheatgrass heals as many issues as it does. While it is filled with a plethora of vitamins and minerals such as A, E, C, K, B6, Calcium, Selenium, Magnesium, and Iron, doctors cannot confirm that this helps more serious ailments such as cancer or aids, contrary to what fans believe. This is mostly due to a lack of available research on the product. What we do know for sure though, is that wheatgrass can improve symptoms of ulcerative colitis, and reduce chemotherapy side effects. Sources: https://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/wheatgrass#2 https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/expert-answers/wheatgrass/faq-20058018
