When you grow wheatgrass from the seed first, initially soak it in the bath of water and a small amount of apple cider vinegar. After germination when you move it to tray sprinkle cinnamon powder and water it through. Both of these steps will help fight mold
"More studies needed" is the standard answer to suppress cheap and healthy alternatives. There is no money in those products and no one will sponsor a new study.
YES EXACTLY!!! Wheat grass is cheap and we can all grow it and it’s so beneficial for our bodies
They don’t want us to know our earths medicines because they’re so cheap. If we rely on natural remedies, we won’t spend money on pills
All scientific studies must bequeath benefits to the Pharmaceutical-Big Medicine--Doctor Industrial Complex. It's in the nature of the funding.
i wouldn't call wheatgrass cheap.
Right? More studies needed basically means it can’t be patented.
Been on Wheatgrass for a month
TOOOOTALLY PUT MY CROHNS DISEASE INTO REMISSION!! THANK YOU DR. Berg!!!
Me too!!!!! Nice to see someone else with the results!!!
Why are these people always putting down things that actually work?
@@Fitafter50mamahint, hint
That’s the point, they won’t do research on how it effects people because they’ll find out it does help. Pharmacy might lose money... so nope, can’t have that
Faryal Ghous doesn’t it get you mad knowing that? The love of money these days.... smh
Faryal Ghous shes an actor. Just like many many doctors and politicians. When I found that out, I go left when everyone goes right. And I go right when everyone goes left. Btw, saw a few vids of yours. You like plants 🌱 dontcha lol
Faryal Ghous only peppers and tomatoes, those are pretty easy to start. Have you tried anything bigger like a cucumber?
Faryal Ghous the container route lol I never liked doing it that way. Ever planted something in a place where no one would trample on it? And you could visit it from time to time. You should try that, and then tell me how it goes 😉
Are you in the states?
Luis R Research might going on right now. You may not be aware of this; some nutritional studies have to be conducted over periods of years (e.g., The China Study). Of course it’s much easier to imagine a conspiracy, isn’t it.
I've been taking the powder form for a dental problem and in less than a week of using it no more toothache so definitely works
I've been taking it for detox. I had horrible fatigue. It gave me my energy back and I smell so fresh!
Hi Paul, oil pulling is the best.
👍
Wheatgrass pulling has been known to heal cancer in the mouth and remineralize cavities
Can I ask if you swished it around in your mouth and that is what helped? Or just from drinking it? Thank you!
You can grow wheatgrass in a jar! Sprouting it and just letting it grow a couple extra days. I did it last week, of course i did the usual rinsing of sprouting daily. I ate the seed/grass on salads. Kept it cold in the fridge and it never went bad for a number of days.
It’s much more nutrient grown in soil
@@ron2507 which brand is the best
Thanks for the tip!
Genius!
Going on a juicing diet, and I just bought some wheatgrass seed and cleared a plot in the back yard to grow some. Even if it doesn't do much, it will be a good cheap "filler" for my juice blends.
Thank you Doctor, this video is very necessary! 🙏🏾
She's a dietician, not a doctor. And this video is pretty cringe,tbh
I have the worst alllergies (sneezing, watery eyes, congestion) of probably anyone alive on planet earth. During spring and fall I basically cannot leave my house. I’ve been to a ton of doctors over the year and they’re so quick to write another rx for another pill.
I went to an Indian holistic doctor and he recommended two oz of wheat grass everyday. One in morning, one in afternoon and I AM SHOCKED BY THE RESULTS. I now am down to a single Allegra in the morning and that’s it. I swear to god it’s been LIFE CHANGING. I get a local place, Plant Slant (all 100% plant based) to mix a little ginger in mine and voila!
How long did it take you to see results? Did it provide any other health benefits? Thanks.
It was sort of gradual to be honest. I am NOT a health nut or vegan but as someone stated on here already, you almost get a “euphoric” feeling after you do a shot. It’s also helped regulate my blood sugar and my BP!
Behold! The power of the wheat!
@@thelonelyghosts9004 Thank you. My allergies are pretty bad - probably not as bad as yours sound, but I think I'll have to try it. Are you still doing it twice/day?
Thanks again.
I still do it twice a day. I really kind of enjoy the taste (you can also add mint to it to help if you don’t like the flavor). Some days I do a third shot if my energy is low. You will notice a big difference quickly I think. Amazon sells some powdered versions of wheat grass and there’s also some in Whole Foods but they’ve been pasteurized (a lot of videos say that most of the benefits are lost during the pasteurization process)
@@thelonelyghosts9004 Thanks for the info!
I love drinking wheat grass. Thanks
I’ve been taking wheatgrass for almost 2 weeks now. I got mine from Whole Foods. I add it in my water , shake it up and I’m on the go 😊
Have you felt any noticeable health benefits
@@2ndperspective418 No. I’m only 34 years old and healthy , so I didn’t see a change in my health.
@@ebonyyoungblood9636 ok
Shots? Or did you buy the powder?
@@sweetbeep powder
First time visitor. Loved the Video, made me lol. Thanks!
She is Over reacting rather than explaining the benefits
Exactly
Haters
No she is not, you complete fucking idiot. She is stating the benefits and risks. She manages to be very insightful for different people that can have problems with wheat grass depending on how it's grown.
@@christiansanchez1785 any benefits from wheatgrass juice
2:00 so we shouldn't eat any fresh fruits or vegetables by that logic
They always put negative vibes on health food to put u all off... Shocking this lady is out of shape and probably has love handles and looks over weight... What's her diet meat and more meat... And don't think a glass of wine is healthy each day .. because my mates all drink one each day for years and they are all passing blood from urine and bowel movements... Iv been drinking wheat grass with hot water for 15 years .. and ye if u was to see my shape of body this lady would shut the f***k up... And my doctors say I so healthy in organs the lot ... They say I have organs of a teen and I'm 35 I'm living proof of health foods and fruits N veg...don't take advice of a woman who's out of shape and don't use this product and has a body like a snow man ..
NO mention of Ann Wigmore and her extensive work with Wheat Grass Juice in healing cancer patients? this girl has NOT done her homework.
Hii
Why do we need studies to prove wheatgrass is beneficial? Studies introduce a financial motive. It could cost millions by the time they prove something- that means somebody wants to get something in return, like a profit. They can't patent wheatgrass and elevate the cost- that's good. No profit motive.
Greenhouse grown grasses often have serious mold issues. They can (but do not always) create extremely bitter taste, dizziness, nausea, instant splitting headaches or sometimes vomiting. These responses are caused by mycoxins released by mold(s), not the wheatgrass itself.
Are there studies on other vegetables holding their concentration and staying power after juicing?
What a crazy lovely girl you are ;). Thanks a lot for the knowledge. Now I will start planting and eating 'rice grass' for better health. (Wheat is hard to find for me, but rice is so abundant.)
Thank you so much for this so simple so effected 😍
its a very brilliant herb.. after my dengue i use to get repeated low platelet count and it was so worry some .. i alwyas have known properties of wheat grass so i started with wheat grass powder by planet Ayurveda
I use Sari foods wheatgrass powder. It tastes like spinach to me.🌳
I take it 1 week now and I can see my skin is so good
hey what do you mean? How did it work
Wheat grass 7 days old can be grown with plain drinking water, no other medium is required and in case mould or fungus is noticed at the root level, discard the particular tray, Subsequently if noticed in early stage of growth, spraying a dilute solution of hydrogen peroxide to the roots might save the batch.
Well, it may not be a panacea, but I’m dang sure it’s a better go-to soft drink than cola.
I drank wheat grass juice powder during a 24 hour fast and lost 10 pounds! The wheat grass powder gave me energy and helped fight off hunger.
@@ricky-sanchez any benefits from wheatgrass juice
@@deepakmudgal3683 Nah, I kind of just used it to starve off hunger. It did make my stool a little less smelly though...
Amazing Information. Thanks for such wonderful content.
You can grow wheat grass at home by using hydroponic techniques which eliminate the use of soil and less contamination
But then you wouldn’t get all nutriatiants that you get from the organic grown
All you need is expensive hydroponics equipment, alot of space and alot of time.
@@ricky-sanchez it not expensive hydroponic does not need some expensive equipment, it just need water and some plastic box with multiple small holes, to grow wheat grass
the highest benefit only comes from healthy organic compost soil. no hydroponic system can or ever will provide the nearly 1000 nutrients found in wheat grass grown on / in soil.
Or a tower garden
I personally use Probase Nutrition Barley Grass powder, it's organic, non-gmo and dissolves great into my smoothies.
The fresh juice shot is the only way. on an empty tummie!! The nutrition is in the tip of the wheat grass: do not cut low in the tray. Fast three days if you are unwell and consume slightly fermented sprout juice. Ref;Hypocraties Institute San Diego 1977
Thank you 🙏, lovely
Wheat grass juice is amazing.
So, are there any benefits? Non-were said, after hearing this, I'm not sure if I want to?
Thanks , thanking very fast .
I love you spirit 💚 I'm subscriberd now😏
So happy to have you! Thanks for watching, and hope you enjoy more of our content :)
Thanks. Thought u can’t consume it with hot liquid.
great video thank you for this
I'm 63 and have been doing a shot of fresh wheat-grass every other morning since the 90s
and I don't mean to be crass but I have the most well formed Poop and every five years with
that old colonoscopy? I have never had a bad report. Think what you will but my thinking its the grass
Do you grow your own wheatgrass?
The bar for " scientifically "proving something is high; understandingly so.
If i consume wheatgrass juice is important to reduce orange and lemon consumption?
Hi thanks for watching the video. We actually don’t know what anything about wheat grass but enjoy the puns
Had to look up the term "superfood". It appears it is a marketing term with no strict criteria
I just like the way it tastes but than eating sugar for me. I like it raw too :(
In order to make the wheatgrass powder ian't subjected to high heat to dehydrate it? If high heat reduces nutrient density in fresh wheatgrass, thenpowdered form would have the same issue, right?
Fab-u-lous you are! Thanks
Fresh is best, but convenience wins over sometimes. Andi's Way offers options without having to go as far as a processed powder!
Tracehhh :D
Thanks for the useful info!
This video made me laugh out loud multiple times thanks for the entertainment and awesome video
More research is needed on whether or not Cue wheatgrass it’s beneficial
Does it helps in reducing weight?
Very informative but i just want to know if that is the one which produce wheat for bread, im a beat confused
Same wheat plant just have to wait for the plant to mature producing it's on wheat berries to harvest for bread. You can buy wheat berries or seeds in bulk to make flour unless you have a plot set aside with water.
Just wonder If people has allergy from wheat that discomfort Wheatgrass...safe buy organic wheat grass powder or other alike grassfeed ? Because some people has strict on food Gluten
#WellGoodSquad!!🙋🏾♀️❤ Definitely needed more info on this. Thank's Well+Good.✔✔
Start with wheatgrass juice powder. It work we'll with orange juice.
@@ipponsuki Thank you for this!!🥰
Are you friends with this TH-camr?
great video
u presentation is nice u should be in Hollywood
I Google benefits of Wheatgrass and this is the bologna, l got???
spunky and I have been taking wheatgrass because I was told when I went on a detox that wheat grass doe not feed cancer cells but norishes other cells. I add apple cider vinegar (mother) to it on an empty stomach every morning. I use powder AMAZING GRASS OR GARDEN OF LIFE . DO YOU RECOMMEND ONE
dr berg raw wheatgrass with lemon flavor
@@ranidaher4138 really
The one from whole foods is nice. I use that one
@@starrjohnson1327which one is that ? That you get from whole food
I use it to detoxify my liver... best to consume early in the morning before food.
It isn't possible to detox your liver
S Lauko what about milk thistle
Shaun Ignacio Yes absolutely, milk thistle is a antioxidant, detoxify & cleans the liver. I haven’t personally tried it since I take other supplements like NAC but I’ve read & heard great results from consuming it.
The liver doesn't need to be detoxified. But you can support the liver in its detoxifying function.
Same as you cannot detoxify the body by taking substances but you can assure that it maintains the ability to detoxify.
@@slauko8499 I am not sure where you got that from, but if you did a little research, you would find out that you are wrong:
th-cam.com/video/HN0yEn4vbRw/w-d-xo.html
It amazing to me how the most accredited professionals have the least knowledge about natural food being medicine.
They're so brain washed it's crazy. They paid insane amounts of money to literally be brain washed by pharma. No questions asked 🤫
I have never seen you before today but there are 3 “takeaways”. 1. Your presentation was very informative and made a boring topic fun; 2. You are funny 😆; and 3. You are a real cutie! Thanks for the video. All the best
Omg, this girl is a talent!
Yeah, for being annoying...
i stopped listening after she said wheat grass comes from wheat lol
🤣🤣🤣
Its not ??
It is baby wheat ☺
actually I didn't pick up on that I know its not a wheat
didnt she say it comes from the wheat family?
Does wheatgrass powder reduce insulin levels? And is it high in potassium?
an organic low fat plant based diet will help cure diabetes and wheat grass is certainly of benefit.
Yes, you must get organic wheat grass juice.
Thanks to tell
Most importantly the amount intake of wheatgrass juice.
Not more than 2 teaspoon in a day. Otherwise body will not tolerate high amount of minerals intake.
I've been taking 2 tablespoons of wheat grass powder a day for 4 years. Never had any adverse side effect. The packaging of my wheat grass suggests 2 tablespoons a day. So, not sure where you're getting your information from.
If the colour of the wheatgrass powder is not green is it safe to consume?
If your reading this, stay away from the raw organics brand wheat grass powder. It contains lead, which is why it is not bright green, but instead pale-ish green/brown. It's fake wheat grass.
@@ricky-sanchezwow how did you figure that out?
Just dilute it with filtered water if don't like the taste!
Does wheatgrass juice help to prevent loose skin when losing 50+lbs?
You can’t prevent that
I think fasting might help
If it’s been around for centuries why is it hard to do long term studies?
Appreciate the video
Can I eat Wheatgrass with salad?
I fucked up my life. I'm hoping that my life will get better if I try oil pulling or something else I hope to get me FULLY FN healthy.
What happened?
Your smile is top of the world 😊💐💐💐
I notice she uses a glottal stop in “gluten” (i.e. “glu’en”).
Weirdest thing I've ever learned from the comments section
@@imnickim ya me too.
...that's how I say it. How are you supposed to say it? Are you British or something?
Yes of course
I don’t like wheatgrass let alone avocado buy it self what do I do to make it taste better or to drink?
What is "grassy taste" like?
I never ate grass before so I'm not sure 😅
It's kind the fragnace you get during the rainy season
Go chew a blade of grass. That’s the grassy taste.
My doctor told me not to eat foods with Glidden protein's. Is Wheatgrass made from wheat, or is it just in the wheat family?
Depends on the kind of wheatgrass. Usually it is barley which is gluten free but may be wheat as well.
There is no GLUTEN in wheat Grass juice. When the wheat grain grows into a green plant, the gluten is no longer present.
oops, someone forgot to search medical literatue on the benefits of wheat grass. it's time to redo this video and appologize.
Wheatgrass & whatgrass powder are same benefit for health..which one better?
Wheatgrass powder is better. It's grass that has been juiced then dehydrated.
if can find a wheatgrass juice powder (dark green) go for it. its better than wheatgrass powder (light green)
@@hostiles1..I heard light green might be from lead in it
Common sense will tell you if wheat grass is good for animals it’s most likely good for humans.
ivermectin is good for treating worms in animals and yet people take it and start shitting their pants in grocery stores. and lots of things people eat are bad for animals. hell, one grape is enough to kill a dog. but grapes are fine for humans! try using that common sense a little more :)
I have been doing wheatgrass enemas, yoga for detoxing, fitness, health, wellness since 1995 when I was 13 years old.
With all due Respect, when Western people talk about alegies and food sensitivities, we who live organic lifestyle like I am from Pakistan and we never heard or saw a person in our life who have food alrgies. Only very Rich people have these problems because they eat a lot of processed food but for people like us, we can eat anything we want and we have a simple rule that If you can't digest something just ferment it and then eat it for few days and then you can digest those things without fermentation. Meanwhile western people are like they came from a distant planet and they are so sensitive about earth's food and they have to be super careful.
Well yes our manufacturers use the most poisonous substances in our food
Hold up wheat a mynute, letnme put some grains in it.! 😂
A patient cured is a customer lost
I cut mine off at ground level and eat raw. The rhizomes are very sweet lol and so does my cat
Anybody else kept singing using wheat instead of the actual word I know I’m not the only one
What other videos is this dietitian in??

I am guessing it is pretty awesome if grown hydroponically in an Aerogarden. 🤷🏻♀️
This video explanation didn’t feel detail and authentic.....other foods fruit and veggies are not tested for the same benefits which I wish was said
Funny😂but informative👍
🤦🏽 another video that I gotta watch till the end to get the main fuckin point
"No studies" doesn't mean anything to me. Maybe they've chosen not to do any because they know what the results will be.... Bad for big-pharma-business
Why the music so loud ,,lack of information instead of gaming feeling
I can't help but think this is yet another hit piece against something healthy! How she name ALL those healthy/good for your body minerals and enzymes then say they need more research!? Also don't think it no coincidence it's at the top of my search 🤦🏽♂️
Anyone less annoying work there?
🤔🤣🤣🤣😪
What did you even say? Was that even a question?
Wooow!! I guess hippocrates clinic been using it succesfully for years should stop 😐😐😐😐😐😐
Oh no slow your roll music have you ever Wheat grass? I drank it one time in about 5 to 6 minutes after I drunk it I vomited it all up. Wheat grass is not for human consumption. Grass is for cows. Do you know a cow has four stomachs. That’s how many stomachs it takes to break down grass we only have one, that’s how they consume grass. Grass is for animals it’s not for people there’s no beneficial attributes of drinking wheat grass is all in your mind. That being said if you want to drink it drink it but I think it does more harm than good. Because it can be full of toxic pesticides.George Duncan you were right, there’s are so many better things that you can drink for your body which is good for you. Like the horrible spirulina enjoy.
@@naimahwalker-harris9313 🤔🤔🤔Well I guess I'm a cow because I never throw up when I drink it. Smh
@@naimahwalker-harris9313 cows eat grass we don’t that’s y they have four stomachs. We just need to ingest the juice. If you’re not used to it and consume after eating u won’t feel good and may vomit. U have to start off with a small amount and work up to 1-2 oz shots
@@tjgrafiks Cows eat grass, we eat cows. In the end were still eating wheat grass anyway. Unless the cow is fed something else....
Does this help with going #2..?
Constipation over here🙄
