Juice Feasting Day 8!!!


Yeah, week one is behind me and i feel  pretty good overall.  going through some stuff ~ emotionally, MENTALLY, and some physical.

today my honey made my juices for me and i had all green juices that contained....

cucumber, celery, spinach, parsley, water crest, swiss chard, dandy lion and lots of lemon and lime.

and one not so green juice was tomato, basil, spinach & kelp powder (YUMMY)

tonight when i got home i wanted some sweet juice SO bad that i made orange juice & balanced out the sweetness with a tbsp of spirilina & bee pollen.

i am very happy that i got outside a lot today and excersised & got some sun.  that really makes a difference in how i feel.

here's a little info i got from juicefeasting.com tonight regarding green juices...

Green-leafed vegetables are overall the best source of iron; parsley and spinach are particularly high in iron. Greens heal anemia. (Other sources of iron include red-colored fruits, such as watermelon, berries, pome granate, and red-flesh figs).
 
Green-leafed vegetables often do not taste as wonderful as fruits. But eating them nonetheless breaks associations of pleasure with eating, therefore decreasing the possibility of overeating. Green-leafed vegeta bles diminish the enjoyment in eating and act as a natural stop for us in the eating cycle.
 
Where does the cow get its calcium for its milk? From green grass, of course. Now we are not grass eaters, but this analogy is instructive because it demonstrates that all the minerals a cow is constructed from are present in grass - in simple green grass!
 
Green-leafed vegetables are always the best source of heavy minerals: calcium, magnesium, etc. The alkaline minerals in greens balance the acid-forming minerals (sulfur, chlorine, and phosphorus) found in avoca dos, nuts, seeds, onions, garlic, etc.
 
Green-leafy vegetation is also an excellent detoxifier of the liver, espe cially wild green vegetation. Deep green and wild green vegetation binds with heavy metals and chemicals from recreational drugs and allows the body to wash them out as salts through the urine.


i just thought i would share alittle tid bit with you.

kinda boring and really want to SLEEEP>>>>>for a LONG TIME!!!
