wheatgrass
I’ve noticed something a bit unusual isince my last post. My beard and hair, what’s left of it, is gray, with some of my original dirty blonde/auburn color left for highlights. But that’s starting to change.
While I was looking in the mirror one morning getting ready to shave, I noticed some dark hair by the top of my moustache. I’m not talking about dark blonde or auburn, I’m talking about straight up jet black hair. I’ve looked a little closer over the last day or two, and it’s not an isolated anomaly. They are all over the place in my moutache and parts of my goatee. Although my hair is too long to look through at the moment, I fully expect to find them in my hair at some point as well.
I wondered for a few moments what could be causing it when I first saw it, but I think I know. Wheatgrass. Yes, you read that right, wheatgrass. I take wheatgrass supplements everyday, I started taking them last year, but I didn’t take it regularly until about a month ago. Ann Wigmore was a pioneer of the raw foods lifestyle during the last century, and it is said that by drinking a daily shot of wheatgrass, her hair went back to it’s natural dark coloring from complete gray without any coloring.
A great deal of research has been done on wheatgrass juice, and it has proven to be one of the most beneficial nutritional supplements available to us. It reduces acidity, cleanses the liver, oxygenates the blood, is good for the skin, and is a potent cancer fighter. in addition to seeing dark colored hair in my goatee, I’ve noticed that I’m not having any hangnail problems either, something I’d noticed I could really only control by eating jello daily to strengthen the skin and nails.
Someday I’d like to get a wheatgrass juicer and grow my own wheatgrass to see what it’s like, but until then, I guess the supplements will have to do. It’s really cool watching my health improve by doing something that I like. Well, I should go, I have other healthy things that need to be done.
