Wheat grass - a Fantastic Natural Detoxifier
Wheat grass is a fantastic natural detoxifier, helping remove toxins from the body and skin. Consuming wheatgrass regularly can help cleanse the body and promote clearer healthier looking skin, while 
reducing the likelihood of breakouts.
A Superior Source of Chlorophyll
Wheat grass is a superior source of chlorophyll, which has been proven to aid in detoxification of the blood and tissues. Wheat grass also has antibacterial and antiseptic qualities that can help improve skin healing.
Abundant Antioxidants
The antioxidants found in wheat grass help prevent free radicals caused from environmental toxins such as UV exposure and pollution, helping to prevent cellular damage and premature aging. This superfood also contains skin nourishing vitamins A, C and E.
Wheat grass is a super super-oxide dismutase (SOD) boosting food. SOD is one of the most powerful antioxidants made by the body that helps slow down cellular aging. SODs main role in the body is to fight the damaging free radical superoxide. If you don’t have enough SOD cells including skin cells will start to age faster and die. As you get older you don’t produce as much of this important antioxidant. Eating more foods like wheatgrass that boost SOD levels will help prevent wrinkles and premature aging, as well as improving wound healing and burns, hyperpigmentation and skin redness, and offer some protection from UV rays.
