Juicing For Weight Loss

When I think of juice,  I think of GREEN JUICE.

I know most people hop out of bed in the morning and grab a coffee – often sweetened and thickened with cream – then look around the kitchen for more sweetness, figuring that’s the energy boost they need to start the day.

Unfortunately, for most of us, that craving for “sweet” doesn’t leave much room for vegetables.

Why aren’t we thinking vegetables instead? Perhaps it’s the stress of consuming five or more servings a day – what everyone from our doctors to the government’s food guidelines recommend! Or maybe it’s the thought of the after-effects of eating so many vegetables. Read More

Benefits of Dandelion Juice

As a bitter tonic, dandelion helps the liver and gall bladder produce bile for better assimilation.

Give your body a “Natural High”

Dandelion Juice – Give your body a “Natural High”

For the past few weeks, I’ve been drinking one-half cup of fresh dandelion juice every morning and another half cup before dinner.

Dandelion can also lower blood pressure, and build stamina. Who doesn’t need more stamina?

Dandelion Leaf is an ancient remedy and is still used today to help remove excess water and toxins from our body. Promoting excretion of bile from the liver enables our body to get back to the business of processing foods and ridding the body of dangerous toxins at the same time.

Efficient bile production and flow gives our body a boost when it comes to metabolizing fat, which in turn helps the body regulate cholesterol levels. Did you know that when you lose weight, acids build up in the body, but dandelion effectively rids the body of these excess acids?

Dandelion Leaf also stimulates functions of the gallbladder, the organ responsible for storing and excreting bile.

Dandelion Leaf has been known to relieve symptoms of premenstrual syndrome, thanks to its diuretic action. Actually, dandelion is beneficial to all living things, even our pets. Loaded with sodium, calcium, iron, beta-carotene and vitamins A and C, it’s one of the most beneficial for major organs and body system functions.

Keep in mind that some people with sensitive digestion might find the juice a tad strong, so if you’re one of those people, just dilute the dandelion juice with carrot juice or water.

Oh, and select dandelion greens from an area that hasn’t been sprayed with herbicides, or better yet, buy organic.

Foods to Eat to Help Your Liver

You can help the liver’s regenerative process by adding these foods and nutrients to your diet:

Rather than indulging in heavy dishes, fried pastries and bottles of wine add some of these nutritious foods to your diet and
give yourself and your liver a true gift.

• Fresh vegetable juices
• Chlorophyll-rich foods: Wheat or barley grass juice or powder, along with chlorella, spirulina, or wild blue-green
  algae have in many cases proven to be useful in jump-starting up a sluggish liver.
• Garlic and onions: Garlic contains allicin, which is a sulfur-based compound needed by the liver for effective
  detoxification. Garlic helps the liver rid the body of mercury, certain food additives and hormones.
• Fresh vegetables: Eat plenty of fresh, lightly cooked, or raw vegetables, especially dark green, leafy vegetables such
  as parsley, kale, watercress, alfalfa sprouted and collard greens. Orange, yellow, purple, and red-colored fruits and vegetables are also good, as they contain living enzymes, fiber, vitamin C, natural antibiotics and cancer-fighting phytonutrients.
• High-antioxidant fruits: Blueberries, blackberries, strawberries and raspberries are all high in antioxidants, which help to protect the liver from the high levels of free radicals that are naturally produced during the process of
  detoxification.
• Bitter foods: The bitterness of foods such as dandelion, arugula, endive, radicchio, sorrel and watercress helps to
  stimulate bile flow within the liver.
• Herbs: Dill, caraway seeds, garlic, onions, boldo, turmeric and cayenne are easy to use in your food and can help
  protect the liver.
• Dandelion root tea: This simple tea enhances the entire digestive track and it is particularly effective at relieving
  digestion after a high-fat meal. Dandelion is also an excellent herb for weight loss, as the leaves are a diuretic and the root improves fat metabolism.
• Omega-3 fatty acids: Good sources of these important fats are ground flaxseed, flaxseed oil, walnuts, borage oil,
  krill oil, chia seeds, purslane, acai, algae, hemp seeds, grape seed oil. Water: Drink 8 to 12 cups of pure water each day. Water helps the kidneys get rid of the toxins that the liver has broken down.
• Nuts, seeds, avocados: These are good food sources of polyunsaturated fats and monounsaturated fats, all less
  harmful to the liver than saturated fats.
• Hot water and lemon juice: This easy and healthy tonic works wonders for sweeping the bad stuff out your liver.

Renewing: Starting Over: New Beginnings

So you want to make some changes, eh? Call it what you will: new beginnings, starting over, renewing, rejuvenation…

it’s time to take charge of your future and finally have the body you’ve been longing for.

You want a strong, healthy body; one that will do what you want it to, when you want it to. If you’re tired all the time, or you get sick all the time, or you just don’t have the energy level that you wish you did, it’s time to make some changes.

Changes usually start with diet and exercise. Yes, I know, it’s a boring subject for many, because they don’t want to change their eating or exercise habits (if you
exercise at all, that is).

However, did you know that a poor diet could lead to faster aging processes, illnesses and many disease processes? Did you know that you can shave five to ten years off your looks just by eating right, getting rid of built-up toxins and eating more natural
fruits and vegetables?

And you won’t have to spend thousands of dollars for that face-lift, or that boob job or butt lift, either. READ MORE
