Wheatley finds its way to PBA stars' diets

MANILA, Philippines - Last year’s Philippine pro-basketball season has seen two PBA stars begin to include Wheatley into their daily diets. But what is Wheatley and why have these athletes even considered it for their diets?

Wheatley is a nutritional supplement from Goldlife Distribution Phils., Inc. It is a combination of two super-foods which are the wheat grass and barley grass. The nutritional product gives one the combined health benefits of both super-foods which, on their own, are already highly regarded as nutritious and are part of the diets of health-conscious individuals.

Barley grass is described as a food that has five times the amount of iron as broccoli, more protein than a sirloin steak, 11 times more calcium than milk, and seven times more vitamin C than orange juice as was stated in Scottish celebrity nutritionist, Gillian McKeith’s book, Living Food for Health: 12 Natural Super-foods to Transform Your Health. It also promotes healthy digestion and improves the absorption of nutrients so you feel more energetic. Barley is effective in lowering acidity in the body as well, with high acidity in the body being linked to a number of various diseases and ill-health.

Wheat grass, on the other hand, is known to help fight cancer by attacking cancer-causing cells in the body. And much like the barley grass, it has many other nutritional benefits such as being a beauty treatment that helps slow the aging process; being a detoxifier that neutralizes toxic substances; and increasing red-blood cell count and decreasing blood pressure among other things.

PBA stars Paul “Kid Lightning” Artadi and Willie “The Thriller” Miller have included it in their daily diet. Since it has been about a year since they have been taking Wheatley, they say that they have experienced some positive effects. Meralco Bolt Artadi went on to say that he makes it a point to take it every day ever since he saw that it was effective in relieving him of constipation and because he feels he has been experiencing higher levels of energy since then. Barako Bull Miller has roughly the same sentiments. He says that taking Wheatley every day has made him last longer during training and practices. Being happy with how Wheatley is as a nutritional supplement, both have actually decided to try out other Goldlife nutritional products.
