Add this to your bath & get young

It has been shown that adding chlorophyll to baths can increase your red blood cell count.

Dr. Bernard Jensen from San Marcos, California, had patients soak in a chlorophyll-water bath, and measured their blood values before and after.

He found that their red blood cell counts doubled within only a few days of treatment.

Patients were able to build their blood even more quickly when they drank green juices and wheatgrass in addition to taking chlorophyll baths.

To learn more about how chlorophyll can rebuild blood, see our article entitled, “How Chlorophyll Rebuilds Blood Cells.”

Why is it important to have healthy blood?

• Dr Oz reminds us that we’re only as young as our blood & arteries: our “real age” can be determined by looking at our blood.
• Iron-rich blood brings oxygen to cells, which enhances youth and mental health.
• Blood carries nutrients to cells – without nutrients, our bodies age more rapidly.
• Healthy blood flow can be a wonderful thing for men who are sexually active – we won’t say it explicitly, but which male organ do you think can become larger from having more, stronger blood flow?

What’s the best way to add chlorophyll to baths?

The fresher the chlorophyll, the better your results will be.

The following methods are listed in order of effectiveness – the first being the most effective.

• Add a couple shots of freshly juiced wheatgrass (juiced within the hour)
• Add 1-2 cups of freshly juiced or blended leafy greens (kale, chard, etc) with water
• Add 1 cube of frozen wheatgrass
• Add 1 tablespoon of raw, unpasteurized wheatgrass or chlorophyll powder
• Add 1 tablespoon of raw, unprocessed, liquid chlorophyll

What has 15x more nutrition than celery?

It’s definitely more difficult to stay healthy during the winter. Local farms in cold climates stop delivering fresh produce, and so we have to ship more in from warmer climates.

The longer produce stays on a truck, the more nutrients are lost.

That’s why it’s critical to consume locally grown sprouts in the wintertime.

Consider the following chart, which demonstrates that pea sprouts have up to 15 times the nutrition of celery.

Sprouts contain many minerals, which is important because non-organic produce is grown in mineral-deficient soil (Source: United States Department of Agriculture).

Sprouts also contain 10 to 100 times the amount of enzymes than in raw fruits and vegetables.

Enzymes are critical for health because they catalyze chemical reactions. Thousands of reactions take place in your body to keep you alive, healthy, and young.

Without catalysts, reactions take more energy to produce the same result – leaving you feeling drained.

Whenever we use sprouts on our raw or vegetarian retreats, they come from a local grower named Mark Mackenzie. You can contact him to grow you pea, buckwheat, sunflower and wheat sprouts (i.e., wheatgrass).
