People
were walking away with their
miniature gardens under their
arms, trays of perfect green grass
which, I assumed they were now
off to place on a window ledge and
decorate.
For years I imagined these people
decorating their miniature gardens
with miniature gnomes, tiny bird

For example magnesium, a key
mineral in all green plants and
with particularly high levels in
wheatgrass juice can help against
depression, anxiety, weakness
and fatigue. The natural �feel-

also depends on magnesium for
its production and function.
Just by taking 1oz a day of
wheatgrass juice can help
many problems. It cleanses and GHWR[L�HV WKH ERG\ LQFOXGLQJ WKH Words: Lynn Nicholson
