For Juicing recipes : 5 Key components to know when you are Juicing

If you have been subscribed to my email list then you have seen some of the stories that people have shared about how they have turned their lives around with juicing.

There are many questions when it comes to juicing and a lot to learn.  A fellow juicer Matt has taken the time to put all the information together in one place in his latest book  Tailored Juicing.

Matt goes into great detail and discusses many topics such as:

Juicing For Weight Loss
How To Detox With Juicing
What is a juice fast?  Why and how to do it.
Vitamin and mineral contents of different juices
Tailored juicing to meet individual needs

And Much More!

If you are looking for the answers to all your jucing questions neatly packaged together I highly recommend you check out Matt’s latest work Tailored Juicing, it is over 80 pages of solid content and a must for anyone who wants to get the most from their juicing.

We detoxify and cleanse for health, vitality, and rejuvenation.
We cleanse our body to clear symptoms, treat disease, and prevent future problems. A cleansing program is an ideal way to help you re-evaluate your life, make changes, or clear abuses and addictions. Withdrawal happens fairly quickly, and as cravings are reduced you can begin a new life without old addictive habits or drugs.

Detoxification is also helpful for weight loss, although this is not the primary purpose. The body stores toxins in fat cells. When you cleanse your body these toxins are more easily released from their fat stores. Since you then become less toxic, your toxin stores (the fat) are not as necessary and, thus, your body can rid itself of excess, unnecessary fat.

Weight loss also occurs on a cleanse simply because there are fewer calories being consumed. Since weight loss boils down to creating a caloric deficit, eating less overtime is a simple way of losing weight.
We also detoxify and cleanse to rest and heal our overloaded digestive organs. This is often an overlooked, yet very important, area considering optimal health truly begins with the health of our digestive system.

Aside from the internal health benefits, detoxification can also be a great catalyst for external change. For instance, it can provide a great opportunity to reflect and re-evaluate what’s most important to you. It can serve to help you cleanse your house, your work, your relationships. After a cleanse, you will even feel more organized, more creative, more motivated, more productive, more relaxed, and more mentally focused and clear.

So, if you want more energy, greater vitality, more youthful and radiant skin, and greater health for life, then cleansing should be a regular (annual or semi-annual) part of your life.

Hi Dave,

I have morgellon’s syndrome or disease and have gone to dermatologists but they thought it was just stress. I have or had these sores and lesions on my left side of my body. About 5 weeks ago I found your website and started juicing daily.

I usually do about 7 carrotts, 2 lemons, 1 lime, 1/2 beet, a few red grapes, 2 oranges, 1 apple, sometimes spinach or cucumbers or whatever greens I have available.

I have lost 20 pds. and need to lose a lot more—-about 80 more. Anyway the sores and lesions have started healing and I have found fewer and fewer fibers under my skin. I hope that it cures my disease but it may just be in remission, but I plan to continue to juice—-it seems as if my body craves it now.

I feel better and can think clearer—–my memory is still suffering but I keep praying that God will heal my body.
Thanks for having your website and I am excited about it and have shared with some friends……

Diann

We all wish Diann the best with her Morgellons syndrome .  Let’s hope that it continues to clear up.  No matter what you are definitely feeling the benefits of having all that fresh juice in your body.  How can you go wrong!

Juice Fasting is one of the absolute best ways to shed weight quickly. If you have an important event that you want to look good for, such as a high school reunion, a dinner party, this is a great thing to do! Done properly, it is easy to lose 5-10lbs in a week or less as well as inches off of your waistline and belly. Another great advantage is that juice fasting will start cleaning your body from the inside out. When you flood your body with nutrients, it kicks off a detox process that pulls toxins out of your body and heals damaged tissue. Hundreds of thousands of people do juice fasts consistently to stay healthy, lose weight, and boost their energy levels. Here are some tips that will help you.

Tip #1: Always start any juice fast by focusing on the juices themselves. Make sure that you use fresh, raw fruits and veggies and not powdered fruits and veggies. These can be beneficial for your health, but they aren’t nearly as effective as real, raw fruits and vegetables.

Tip #2: Don’t believe it when people tell you to stay away from fruit juices during your fast! Fruits contain many forms of nutrition that are incredibly important to your health. It is true that too much of a juice, particularly an acidic one like orange juice, can upset the stomach. Rather than avoiding such fruits, you should simply take them in moderation. A popular method is to water them down with more balanced fruit juices or even with actual water. In fact, it’s not a bad idea to dilute ALL your juices with fifty percent water, just to make them easier on the stomach. At the same time, you shouldn’t believe sources that claim that fruits are all your body needs. Just as many important vitamins are found in vegetables. Pretty much any vegetable you can eat raw can be turned into juice (and don’t confuse this process with using a blender). The best ones to take to balance out your fruit juices are carrot juice (a leading source of carotene), beet juice, and cucumber juice.

Tip #3: Don’t eat any one fruit or vegetable constantly. Instead, rotate them around a bit. Make sure you’re getting good variety. No one plant will ever have all the things your body needs in it, but most will be high in one or two crucial vitamins and other nutrients. Beets are high in folate, which is especially important in liver health. Apples contain many antioxidants, but are low in vitamin C, which you can find in oranges instead. As you can see, variety truly is the spice of life when it comes to juice fasts!

There are thousands of basic juice-based fasting methods out there. Some good, some bad, but the bottom line is this: if you are juicing fresh, raw fruits and veggies, you are going to feel better, have more energy, and lose weight. In this article, we’re going to tell you which kinds of juice fasts will really keep your body purified, detoxed and primed for weight loss all at the same time.

It was right after that I received this email from Eva B.

Hi Dave,
I just want to respond to this topic.  I was diagnosed with type 2
diabetes in March 2003 when I was in the hospital with cervical
cancer and having surgery.  I didn’t know I was diabetic for probably
years before they found out in the hospital.

I was put on insulin and I had to test my blood sugar 4-5 times every day.  After the
surgery I had chemo and radiation therapy for 3 months.  Radiation 5
times a week and chemo once a week.  Back then I didn’t know about
juicing and raw food diet, I was dazed and depressed about my
illness and I just wanted to live.

Although into the second month of my treatments sometimes I wished I was dead.
It was horrible.  No matter how I describe it to people,no one can understand fully
except those who went through the same thing.

The treatments totally destroyed the tumor along with my immune
system.  The chemo drugs that they pumped into my body were so toxic
that my nurse had to wear bio hazard protective gear just to handle
the IV bags.  Unfortunately I have some permanent nerve damage, some
hearing and memory loss as a result.

I was on prednisone, a synthetic steroid drug for months and one of
it’s side effects is the increase of blood sugar levels.  Even after
I tapered off the dosage and finally stopped taking it completely, my
blood sugar was so high that I was injecting insulin 3 times a day.

This went on for years and I had to make myself
accept the fact that this is how it’s going to be for the rest of
my life.All my doctors told me that diabetes is a chronic disease
that has no cure.The only thing I can do is manage it the best I can.

Then about 2 years ago I stumbled upon some articles online about
the raw food diet. I researched it for months and then I decided to
give it a try.

It worked miracles!

Within 2 weeks I stopped using insulin.
After 4 weeks I was off all my medications for everything
including high blood pressure and depression.I have lost so much
weight,I don’t know how many pounds because I never weighed
myself.  Although I couldn’t maintain a 100% raw food diet beyond 2
months, I was still doing very well.  Then finally about a month ago I
was able to buy an Omega juicer and now I have at least 2 big
glasses of fresh juice every day.  One of them is a green juice which
I absolutely love and now crave first thing in the morning.I juice
3-4 different kinds of greens,alternating between all varieties of
kale and chard,spinach, celery, all kinds of lettuce, my favorite is
romaine.  I add an apple for sweetness,a lemon with skin to boost the
detox and ginger for kick.  I only use organic produce for juicing.  It
is so good, I am totally addicted.  This might sound weird but I can
feel the yummy green juice filled with all the vitamins and
minerals penetrating deep into every cell of my body and kicking
out the toxins,cleansing and rejuvenating me from within.

Just today I made my first wheat grass juice which I sweetened with
carrots.  I loved it.  I don’t have to test my blood sugar anymore because I feel
fantastic but I do it from time to time anyway just to see how well
I’m doing.  And I’m doing fantastic.My readings are always normal and
my last A1C was 5.4.  That’s perfect for someone who never had
diabetes,  let alone me,who has struggled with it for years. 

I can honestly say that I cured my diabetes with juicing and good, organic
raw foods .I would recommend it to everyone with diabetes.  It’s
true, no one has to suffer anymore.  There is a CURE.  I am living proof.

Thank you very much for listening.

Sincerely:
Eva B.
