You've heard it said that an apple a day keeps the doctor away, but did you know you actually need 12! Eating your vegetables and greens will have an amazing effect on your mind and body. However, according to most nutritionists, we would have to eat twelve servings of fruits and vegetables a day to get the nutrients our bodies crave and need; most individuals are eating fewer than two servings a day. According to the Centers for Disease Control Prevention, only 26 percent of the nation's adults eat vegetables three or more times a day.
Using a daily concentrated powdered green drink is essential for optimal health. A good quality green drink will consist of concentrated vegetables and grasses, such as wheat grass and barley grass.
Green drinks work to alkaline the body and help establish a proper pH (potential of hydrogen). They also build the immune system, supply a large quantity of digestive enzymes, provide us with chlorophyll, give us vitamins and minerals, and add oxygen to the blood, which is especially important to cancer patients.
Restoring the pH balance in your body and allowing the body to become alkaline will help ward off disease.
According to Dr. Stirling Silverman,
"Over acidity, which can become a dangerous condition that weakens all body systems, is very common today. It gives rise to an internal environment conducive to disease, in contrast to a pH balanced environment which allows normal body function necessary for the body to resist disease. A healthy body maintains adequate alkaline reserves to meet emergency demands. When excess acids must be neutralized our alkaline reserves are depleted leaving the body in a weakened condition."
You can check your pH level with test strips purchased at drug stores. A healthy body pH should be 7.0 to 7.5. If you already have a disease or illness it will be difficult to establish a proper pH balance; you will most likely be acidic. Medications will affect your pH and will cause you to be more acidic. Chemotherapy and radiation work well to shrink tumors and help treat cancer, but they also weaken the immune system and create an acidic environment. Although these drugs have an adverse effect on the pH levels, we must still do everything we can to build and preserve our bodies and keep our pH as alkaline as possible.
There are many nutritionists and doctors who will differ in the opinion on the subject of eating meat. But everyone, sick or well, will agree that the benefits of green drinks are essential to healing the body and building the immune system.
After being diagnosed with cancer, I went to Moffitt Cancer Center for a second opinion. Upon my arrival, I was given a stack of papers to fill out. One of those papers posed the question: "What are you doing to help yourself?" and one of the answers to choose from was "juicing wheatgrass". I was impressed to see that doctors are recognizing the benefits of wheatgrass and its healing properties.
One reason wheatgrass and greens are good for cancer patients is that they contain chlorophyll. Because chlorophyll's molecular structure is almost identical to hemoglobin (magnesium in chlorophyll and Iron in hemoglobin), it is sometimes referred to as the blood of the plant. Their similarity also lies in the fact that they both carry life-giving oxygen to the blood. Chlorophyll builds the blood, and it is the blood that sustains and builds your body.
