Wheatgrass and Fertility
To maintain a healthy body it's important to get the right amount of fruits and vegetables, which includes wheatgrass. With its high chlorophyll level, wheatgrass increases the flow of oxygen throughout the body, and some believe that can aid with fertility.
Facts
Wheatgrass helps to restore the body's natural pH or acidity. With a balanced pH level, the body offers a healthier environment for sperm and egg to meet and fertilize. According to wellsphere.com, consuming wheatgrass "acts as an overall fertility enhancer."
Benefits
Wheatgrass may work with traditional Chinese medicine practices such as acupuncture to aid fertility. With increased oxygen and energy from wheatgrass, acupuncture can aid with flow throughout the body. According to americanpregnancy.com, acupuncture increases blood flow to the uterus, which creates a thicker endometrial lining for the fertilized egg to nourish and grow.
Types
Wheatgrass is available in liquid, pill or powder forms in specialty stores.
Theories/Speculation
Wheatgrass also is reported to have other health benefits. According to amorillum.com, "Wheatgrass cleanses the lymph system, strengthens the blood, removes toxic metals from the cells, aids the kidneys and liver and just generally restores vitality and balance to the body."
Warning
Wheatgrass juice is strong in flavor and may cause headaches or nausea. Those trying wheatgrass for the first time should try just 1 oz. to allow the body time to adjust.
