10 Things You May Not Know About Wheatgrass
Nicknamed “liquid gold”, one serving of wheatgrass juice is the rough equivalent of one and a half pounds of dark leafy green vegetables.
Because of its high chlorophyll content, wheatgrass has a strong alkalizing and detoxifying effect on the body.
Growing wheatgrass at home is easy from seeds or whole grain wheat berries, by hand or with a sprouting kit. Perfect for having wheatgrass on hand for smoothies at all times!
Like all chlorophyll-rich green plants, wheatgrass is high in oxygen and therefore an excellent source of natural energy.
Wheatgrass is superior to other green plants because it has more than 100 elements needed by humans.
Most often, wheatgrass is found as juice but powder supplements are also available and can be mixed into juices, smoothies or water. The best time-saving supplements are from freeze-dried organic wheatgrass juice powder.
Known to improve digestion, wheatgrass only takes one minute to digest.
Even though the word “wheat” is in its name, wheatgrass is gluten-free.
The best time to have wheatgrass juice is on an empty stomach and one hour before eating so that all the beneficial nutrients are completely available to the body for absorption.
Depending on how toxic your body is, wheatgrass juice can cause headaches or increased bowel movements as the body detoxifies. Otherwise, expect lots of energy as the only side effect.

I’ve always wanted a little wheat grass garden in my apartment! Hopefully my next one gets some good sun.

“Someday doesn’t exist. Never has, and never will. There is no someday. There’s only today. Real supermen don’t leap over buildings in a single bound. They take small determined steps, consistently over time. It’s not about finding out who you are, it’s about creating who you are. Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right. Ask yourself honestly: who do you want to be? And what are you willing to do to become that person?”

It’s me in the bad lighting tonight! Wondering how I’m going to use MarkJ.ca - but I need to start having myself on my own site. Going to be a little more self centred around here … :) 

Does the rose have to do something? No, the purpose of a rose is to be a rose. Your purpose is to be yourself. You don’t have to run anywhere to become someone else. You are wonderful just the way you are. This teaching of the Buddha allows us to enjoy ourselves, the blue sky, and everything that is refreshing and healing in the present moment. We already have everything we are looking for, everything we want to become. We are already a Buddha so why not just take the hand of another Buddha and practice walking meditation? Just be. Just being in the moment in this place is the deepest practice of meditation. The Heart Sutra says that there is “nothing to attain.” We meditate not to attain enlightenment, because enlightenment is already in us. We don’t need to search anywhere. We don’t need to practice to obtain some high position. We can enjoy every moment. People talk about entering nirvana, but we are already there. Aimlessness and nirvana are one. We have everything we need to make the present moment the happiest in our life, even if we have a cold or a headache. We don’t have to wait until we get over our cold to be happy. Having a cold is part of life. I am happy in the present moment. I do not ask for anything else. I do not expect any additional happiness. Aimlessness is stopping and realizing the happiness that is already available.
