Wheatgrass and Broccoli Sprout Juice for Good Health

!±8± Wheatgrass and Broccoli Sprout Juice for Good Health

The juice of the four day old broccoli sprout has an abundance of Sulphorphane Glucosinolate (SGS) that helps prevent or treats cancer, macular degeneration, (eye disease) stomach ulcers, Alzheimer's disease, and ageing in cells.

Universities around the world have studied SGS and published studies showing that it is useful in the prevention or treatment of numerous conditions such as cancer, macular degeneration, (eye disease) stomach ulcers, Alzheimer's disease, ageing and many more.

But wheatgrass juice must be fresh, it must never have been heated or frozen otherwise the live enzymes will decay.

To get enough of the SGS to do the job requires about 2 kilos of broccoli a day. No one can eat that much every day.

So how can a person get the benefits of wheatgrass and broccoli every day easily and without getting bored?

The answer is in juices. Wheatgrass juice and Broccoli sprout juice.

But these juices deteriorate very quickly and quickly lose the live enzymes that make them good for you. Heat, light, bacteria and oxygen can all impact the enzymes in wheatgrass juice so that within minutes the benefits begin to be lost.

Treating the juice with high temperatures for pasteurisation will destroy the enzymes. Freezing the juice will be a phase change that subtly alters the values of the juices.

And frozen juice must be thawed before you can drink it and that means exposure to air and or to heat both of them bad for the wheatgrass juice or broccoli sprout juice. Extracts and powders made from wheatgrass and broccoli or broccoli sprouts may also be heat treated, spray dried, freeze dried and may be diluted with chemicals or sugars such as magnesium stearate or maltodextrin - a complex sugar. Some commercially available products that call themselves wheatgrass or broccoli can have 25% or more of their content supplied by fillers such as maltodextrin.

But juices made from wheatgrass and four day old broccoli sprouts can be treated with very high pressure to kill the bad bacteria and leave the enzymes and SGS intact and available.

When these pressure treated wheatgrass and broccoli sprout juices are also given just a trace ( 0.2% ) of non-dairy lactic acid they will last for several weeks without refrigeration. This means that wheatgrass juice and broccoli sprout juice can

then deliver the live enzymes and SGS that people seek.
