Benefits of Juicing

We all hear that we need to eat 6 to 8 servings of fruits and vegetables to be healthy. But how can we do this? We have busy lives and it’s hard to get all the nutrients we need so that we can be at our maximum. Juicing can offer many benefits to those who seek health
The biggest benefit of juicing is that in one 8 ounce glass of fresh juice, you are drinking about 3-4 daily servings of fruits and vegetables. So, juice carrots, spinach, ginger, apples, kale and any other vegetable or fruit you may like. If 2 pieces of fruit, a salad and some steamed vegetables, you have reached your daily goal!! I always have a green juice mid-morning. I juice enough to have another glass right before dinner. These 2 glasses a day give me energy and make me feel great.
If you have health problems, juicing is even more important and beneficial.

The second benefit of juicing is that you are drinking fruits and vegetables that you probably wouldn’t eat. If you did eat them, they would most certainly be cooked. By being cooked, the vegetables lose most of their nutrients, enzymes and antioxidants. All the lost nutrients are essential to your body. Enzymes are important to proper digestion and antioxidants are necessary to fight disease. When you drink a fresh juice all the nutrients, enzymes and antioxidants remain intact and thus benefit your body 100%.


In summary, juicing provides your body with:


- Water
- Proteins
- Carbohydrates
- Essential fatty acids
- Vitamins
- Minerals
- Enzymes

January is always a great month to assess our eating habits and lifestyle. We are at the beginning of a new year and we want to start it the right way.

So let's just take a look at we eat and drink. Let's be honest!!!

If we don't drink at least 64 oz of water a day, don't eat regular meals and have little or no fruits, vegetables and grains, then we need to change something.

For 2011, this is going to be my focus: eat better and drink more water.

Over the next few weeks, I will be sharing some tips with you on how to eat better so that we can be healthier.

For today, the first tip is:

Drink more water!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our body is made of 2/3 water. Water helps our metabolism. It nourishes our muscles, lungs and joints. It also helps our body get rid of toxins and better absorb nutrients.

This is the first step towards optimum health.

Colon Hydrotherapy

A healthy, strong functioning colon is ESSENTIAL to maintaining good health. Along with the kidneys, lungs and skin the colon is responsible for waste elimination from the body. Due to a combination of poor diet, improper food combining, drug intake or lifestyle, the colon may lose its ability to properly eliminate all waste from the gastrointestinal tract. Slowly, over a period of time, the colon will become saturated with harmful toxins. These toxic substances can be transported into the blood stream where the lymphatic and circulatory systems along with the lungs and kidneys become overburdened and expose you to serious health risks.
Colon Hydrotherapy can be very beneficial in helping to restore good health by:

· Clearing the colon of old, hardened waste &
toxins
· Allowing for improved passage of nutrients into the blood
· Stimulating the immune systems
· Restoring proper pH balance
· Providing a good environment for bacteria & micro flora for digestion
· Increasing prevention of toxic absorption
· Strengthens peristalsis
· Assists in the return of normal & regular bowel movements.

Bowel dysfunction may be the root cause of a multitude of chronic health problems, sickness & disease.

If you aren’t having 2-3 bowel movements a day, consider yourself CONSTIPATED

A healthy colon is VITAL to living a life free of degenerative disease.
