Alfalfa is rich in Vitamins A,B,C,D,E,G and K. It also contains a rich and quality balance of minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, chlorine, sodium, potassium and silicon.

Alfalfa has more protein and less carbohydrate when compared to grains like wheat and corn. Proteins in alfalfa contain some essential amino acids like arginine, lysine, theronine and tryptophane, which would supplement any defiencies within one's diet. Alfalfa also contains saponin, a compound that reduces the bad cholestrol and fats.

Alfalfa is also one of the richest source of dietery fibre and chlorophyl. There is also a high concentration of highly active antioxidants that would prevent DNA destruction and slow down the process of aging.

Heart disorders is defined as a collective term that describes diseases affecting the heart. Some examples are coronary heart disease, cardiomyopathy, cardiovascular disease, ischaemic heart disease, heart failure, hypertensive heart disease, inflammatory heart disease and valvular heart disease. Heart disorders have been declared as one of the biggest cause of death within United States, Canada, England and Wales. In 2007, these heart disorders were known to kill one person every 34 seconds in the US alone.

Alfalfa consumed as a juice has been effective to prevent or manage problems pertaining to the heart and arteries. The juice made from fresh alfalfa leaves are the most effective in achieving this benefit, However, since they are very potent, it is best to consume this with carrot juice. That way, the benefits of both carrot and alfalfa juices are experienced at once.

The leaves and sprouts of Alfalfa are known to help lower the blood cholestrol and reduce the amount of plague that deposited on artery walls. Saponins found in alfalfa leaves are known to lower plasma cholesterol, reduce intestinal absorption of cholesterol, and prevent atherosclerosis.

Alfalfa is a great source of chlorophyll, especially when in the form of a juice. Chlorophyll provides magnesium and helps the blood carry essential oxygen to the tissues and cells in our body. It also helps treat any infections caused and is regarded as a good dietery supplement for smokers as chlorophyll helps neutralize that toxins (poison) inhaled everyday. A great supplement for passive smokers too,I guess.

Thus, with its abundance of chlorophyll, alfalfa would help in respiratory problems and discomforts like sinusitis.

** Sprinkle generous amounts of sprouts on sandwich fillings, soups and salads (My favorite)
** Consume the juice extracted from alfalfa leaves. It would help if this juice is mixed with carrot juice as it might get too intense.
** Alfalfa tea made from alfalfa seeds and dried alfalfa leaves.
