Superfood wheatgrass
-
Wheatgrass powder is a relatively new food type; it falls under the superfoods. There is increasing criticism of the title 'super' given to food. However, it is only a title. You may ask: is premium petrol really that great? Isn't the regular organic shop much better than the super market? Compared to electric driving, petrol is not so great for your wallet and the environment. Compared to health food stores, degraded food is sold in so-called supermarkets.

Wheatgrass good for immune system
-
A 2013 Taiwanese study investigated the immune system-regulating effects of wheatgrass. By applying all kinds of chemical procedures to samples of dried wheatgrass, it was possible to trace some substances that are responsible for better communication between the different cells in the human body that are involved in the functioning of the immune system. One of the substances was maltoheptaose. This substance can activate the monocytes in the body, cells that help regulate the immune system. Another substance in wheatgrass is the oligosaccharide fraction WG-PS3. Like maltoheptaose, this substance helps improve communication between the different immune cells. The immune system must be able to distinguish the body's own from foreign substances and determine whether the amount in which the substance occurs poses a threat to the body. You understand that this can only take place if the different parts of the immune system communicate with each other adequately, quickly and efficiently.

The scientists concluded that wheatgrass has many antioxidant properties and that these had a remarkable medicinal effect on Alzheimer's. Scientists even say that wheatgrass may play a key role in Alzheimer's treatment in the future.
