One of the best things about Wheatgrass Juice is that it is immediately absorbed into the bloodstream and gives you immediate energy!

Here are a few benefits:

Wheatgrass is an energizer . The get-up-and-go obtained from wheatgrass juice is outstanding. Two ounces of fresh juice equals 3 pounds of organic vegetables in vitamins and minerals, or the equivalent of two cups of coffee. All you need to do to feel the amazing benefits of wheatgrass juice is drink two ounces of it! You'll feel refreshed and energized throughout the day.

Wheatgrass juice is nutritious . Wheatgrass juice contains most of the vitamins and minerals needed for human maintenance. Wheatgrass is also an excellent source of calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, sulphur, cobalt, and zinc

Wheatgrass cleanses the body. The many detergent factors of wheatgrass juice will drain the lymph system, which carries away many toxins from body cells. When an imbalance exists--sore tendons and joints, degenerative disease, etc--there is a natural build-up of mucous in the lymph area. Wheatgrass juice will break down the mucous and allow it to drain. Wheatgrass is a powerful cleanser and may start an immediate reaction with toxins and mucus in the stomach and thus may cause nausea. Start with a 1-ounce serving and work up. Drink on an empty stomach. Keep refrigerated and drink the same day.

Wheatgrass juice is a wonderful aid in weight control. The starch of the wheat berry is stored energy which when converted to simpler sugars is a quick energy source. It is especially good for athletes because it is a juice and assimilated in 20 minutes. Wheatgrass picks up 92 of the 102 minerals in the soil and contains all vitamins science has isolated. Because one ounce of juice equals two pounds of produce nutritionally, it naturally shuts off the appestat, which is the area in the brain that is believed to regulate appetite and food intake. It helps in weight control. The nutritional value of wheatgrass Juice is so high that many people don't feel those "cravings" that lead to overeating.

You can buy wheatgrass juice at your local Smoothie King.

JJK To Appear On BET's Mo'Nique Show

Last month I traveled to Altanta with Jackie Joyner- Kersee for the Vision to Visionaries: Women Empowered, A Legacy of Change Event. January 28, 2010, JJK along with Ruby Dee, Jasmine Guy, Morgan Pierce, and Sonia Sanchez participated in an intimate and engaging conversation before an invited audience at Spelman College in Atlanta.

Produced by the National Visionary Leadership Project (NVLP), the panel's discussion was streamed live via the NVLP website http://www.visoionaryproject.org/.

The morning of the event the panelist did a pre-recorded taping on The Mo'Nique Show. During the show, Mo'Nique had decided to challenge JJK to a little race, live in the studio. When Mo'Nique threw out the challenge, JJK she just smiled thinking it was a joke. When Mo'Nique stood up and kicked her high heels off, JJK realized it was Showtime! I won’t tell you how this one ends but the show will air Monday February 22nd, 2010 at 10:00 CST and at 11:00 EST on the BET Network. If you can, WATCH IT!
