The Very Color of Life
One of the things that makes PROUD BOOMER so unique as a food supplement is the inclusion of a “whole foods greens blend” of various cereal grasses. Each serving of PROUD BOOMER contains a 2,500-milligram blend of alfalfa grass, barley grass, wheat sprouts, and wheat grass.
But why in the world would anyone want to eat cereal grasses – or green foods as they are referred to by health enthusiasts? Isn’t that the provender of cows and goats and sheep? Granted– it may seem a bit strange at first for human beings to be eating cereal grasses but there are some very good reasons for doing just that. Read on and you may decide it’s not such a bad idea after all.

The Magic Of Chlorophyll
The key to the benefits of green foods appears to be linked to chloroyphyll – the chemical component of plants and grasses that gives them their green color. You see, nature needed a way to convert the powerful light energy of the sun into a food we humans could consume. Scientists call this process photosynthesis which is simply a fancy way of saying the same thing – light synthesized into energy.
Chlorophyll is often called “the blood of plants” since its molecular structure is nearly identical to the hemoglobin of human blood . The only difference between a molecule of hemoglobin and a molecule of chlorophyll is the chemical element at their center. Hemoglobin carries an atom of iron and chlorophyll carries an atom of magnesium. Chlorophyll and human blood both act as carriers of nutrients essential to life. Consequently, green food cereal grasses such as wheat grass and barley grass are high in antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, proteins, phytonutrients, and enzymes. Furthermore, cereal grasses rarely cause allergic reactions that are sometimes seen with the grains harvested from these greens.
In addition, cereal grass green foods are whole food source of nutrients as opposed to isolated nutrients found in many types of supplements. This means that in addition to the various nutrients listed above, you are also getting all of the nutritional co-factors from these plants just as nature intended.

Benefits Of Chlorophyll
As to the specific benefits of chlorophyll – there are many! It helps strengthen the immune system, helps detoxify heavy metals and pesticides, promotes healthful intestinal flora, helps retard the growth of anaerobic yeasts and fungi in the digestive tract. It also helps in normalizing blood glucose levels and blood pressure, helps reduce gastrointestinal inflammation and ulceration, and helps activate various enzymes needed for vitamin synthesis. Cereal grasses as found in PROUD BOOMER are high in mucopolysaccharides (MPOs). MPOs are completely digestible nutrients known to strengthen connective tissues and to have antiinflammatory benefits. They have also been shown to help reduce blood lipid levels (fats).
Cereal grasses are also a rich source of carotenoids and flavonoids – two potent antioxidants. That is, they have the ability to attack and neutralize “free radicals” in the body thus preventing these maverick molecules from damaging otherwise healthy cells.
wheatOne other very important aspect of green food cereal grasses is their enzyme content. These include relatively high concentrations of superoxide dismutase and catalase. They also contain the digestive enzymes amylase, protease, and lipase. Enzymes provide a myriad of functions in the body including digestion, anti-inflammation, and hormone production. There’s no doubt about it! The inclusion of whole food cereal greens in PROUD BOOMER makes it one of the most unique and effective supplements on the market for baby boomers.
