Robeks in Burbank features wheatgrass juice

Wheatgrass has been growing in popularity in the healthy living community. It is a natural product; high in vitamins, minerals and enzymes. Wheatgrass actually has a long history of use, although many people are just discovering its benefits.

According to Beatriz Amran, the owner of Robeks in Burbank, wheatgrass can minimize fatigue and recharge the body as well as cleanse it and maintain peak body levels. By adding oxygen to the blood, degeneration of the cells can be slowed down. In addition to rejuvenating the body, it can increase the overall health of skin, hair and teeth. Wheatgrass has also been found to improve digestion, and assists in the elimination of food. These properties can assist in the process of natural weight loss.

Wheatgrass aid other parts of the body, regenerating the liver, and improving the functions of the heart, lungs, and reproductive system. Wheatgrass also adds calcium, helping arthritis and muscle cramping. Wheatgrass plays a role healing cuts and bruises and even preventing tooth decay, according to Amran.

Many of the foods we eat today lack vitality stated Amran. They contain preservatives, pesticides, and hormones. Foods are often processed or overcooked, which destroys most of their nutritional properties. Since wheatgrass juice is raw, drinking it gives us the vitamins, minerals and enzymes we need in one of the freshest and most natural forms available.

Wheatgrass is specially processed to extract the nutrients and chlorophyll, the active enzyme and should be consumed within 5 minutes of its preparation. One fluid ounce serving is equivalent to eating 2 ½ serving of green leafy vegetables.

Of course, nothing can replace exercise and a proper diet, but wheatgrass can help boost your energy by infusing your body with vitamins and minerals

Amran comes from an athletic family, had been involved in team sports and has 2 young athletes in her family. In opening Robeks, Amran is committed to sharing her values of a healthy lifestyle and promoting the importance of good nutrition
