Strengthen The Body With Wheat Grass
Wheat grass can be traced back in history over 5000 years, to ancient Egypt and perhaps even early Mesopotamian civilizations. It is purported that ancient Egyptians found sacred the young leafy blades of wheat and prized them for their positive affect on their health and vitality. The tender young wheat grass blades were prized by Pharaohs and Aristocrats for its amazing affects on their health and vitality. The Book of Daniel in The Old Testament says that King Nebuchadnezzar (630-562 B.C.) ate only grasses for seven years. He claimed that his mental clarity, perhaps his sanity, was restored during this period, allowing him to again rule his kingdom.
In 1930 Charles Schnabel, a food scientist from Kansas experimented with a mixture of food that would increase chicken health and egg production in the winter months. After trying various mixtures of vegetables, grains etc in the chicken feed with none of it making a difference, he was nearly ready to give up. Noticing that hens searched out the young nutritious cereal grasses when available, he dehydrated wheat grass and oat grass and included it in their feed. He was amazed to find the cereal grass mixture boosted their health significantly. He stated in his research, Even a child can see the bloom of health in the grass-fed hens.
Additionally, the Wheat Grass helped winter egg production go up 150% per hen! Further research revealed other remarkable findings for example wheat grass was found to improve reproductive ability and milk production in cows. Even human infants whose mothers drank milk from grass fed cows, developed faster than other infants whose mothers did not consume milk from grass fed cows.
