~Wheat Grass~& its Many Health Benefits~Black Folks Eating Right

 Wheat grass

Wheat grass is a root made from the common wheat plant and is growing in popularity as an ingredient in juicing. 

I often use wheat grass on my salads and I usually juice about ½ cup of wheat grass every so often.

Wheat grass can be taken fresh, powder or pill form.

Research has shown that Wheat Grass has incredible healing proprieties, such as, curing cancer, a cancer preventative, and detoxification, It helps oxygenate and alkalize the blood…

 

Wheat grass contains 70% chlorophyll; it’s a powerful fighter and preventative of colon cancer.

Wheat grass extract absorbs free radicals....

Even though drinking wheat grass has been found to be beneficial drinking too much can lead to nausea and upset stomach.

You can get Wheat Grass at your local Whole Foods or Trader Joes, 

Or you can grow your own…

2 My Health A Plant Based Diet

(source)

 Since I have been on this Plant Based, I have been doing a lot of research and  I came across this information , according to the CDC more than 75% of the $2.6 trillion in annual US health care costs are from chronic diseases. Diets high in meat and dairy are some of the main causes of most of these diseases.

·        Chronic diseases cause 7 in 10 deaths each year in the United States.

  About 133 million Americans—nearly 1 in 2 adults—live with at least one chronic illness.

More than 75% of health care costs are due to chronic conditions.

And it is worst in the Black Community.

My people are dying at an alarming rate: due to heart disease, strokes, cancer and diabetes.

What the old folks use to call “the suga.”

AND SISTAHS...Shaking my head!

With those numbers and facts, why aren't more people on a plant based diet? 

Are people not connecting the dots? Or just don't care about their health?

Humans are committing suicide at a snail's pace...

Did you know that the first sign to heart disease is DEATH.

Seriously...

 It  is interesting to me that as I scroll down my face book time line, I often see photos of steak dinners cooked or at some restaurant  Or statuses saying I want to go to such, and such steak house.

I've seen several post from people who say they are on some type of diet; but eat Mickey D’s Oatmeal, most mornings…

Either they have ignored the information about McDonald’s Oatmeal, or they don’t give a rats’ ass. 

But I digress.

One misconception about a plant based diet is that all one is eating is sticks and carrots all day. 

There are an ass of recipes out there...check out Recipe.com, Youtube, go to the freaking library, most of my information came from there.  Another excuse is: it’s too expensive or time consuming…so is waiting in the E.R. Or having to fill another doctor’s prescription; because of high blood pressure or high cholesterol, both are just the beginning signs of many chronic ailments.

Oh! And where are you getting your protein?

 The same place a cow does.  Eating plants! 

I eat like a Gorilla.

It has been drilled into our heads "that humans need meat and dairy to survive" and it’s one of the biggest lies ever told! 

Humans are getting cancer and heart disease from eating animals and drinking their bodily fluids.

But I digress.

2 My Health Mingz Plant Base Diet

I am glad I have decided to change my eating habits and eat right. I just came across this

Article that talks about what people believe about obesity, it’s shocking to think that people know that their diets may lead to cancer; yet refuse to do anything about it, I think some people are looking for a magic pill.

And it does not exist.

… Only 7 percent of people surveyed mentioned cancer, although doctors long have known that fat increases the risk of developing cancers of the colon, breast, prostate, uterus and certain other sites. Plus, being overweight can make it harder to spot tumors early and to treat them.

(article)

My opinion doctors are working with the pharmaceutical companies to keep people sick.

The food you need to cure and prevent all those disease, one can grow in their back yard.

It is called

A garden…

DO you think the pharmaceutical companies want people knowing that and the thing about it is, rich or poor can grow their own preventative medicine?

if most people did that they would be out of money.

Well, that is my rant…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NUTS!

I can eat NUTS…

So, I have low salted cashews, pecans, pistachios, and sun flower seeds.

This is my second full day of my detox and I am feeling good about this.

Believe it or not the juice is rather filling:

I’ve also been drinking a lot of water.

and peeing like a mad woman…

But that’s a good thing…
