Juicing- Saving Us From Diseases and Sickness

I love real, fresh, vegetable juice! Not the kind you buy in a jug at the grocery store. I’m talking about the kind where you take real vegetables and put them into a blender and gain immediate benefits from the nutrients!

I had started feeling sick for the past couple of days and last night it was coming on strong. I headed straight over to Mother’s Market to their Juice Bar. I was recommended to buy a shot of Ginger (1 oz. Ginger w/ 3 oz. Pineapple) and the “Goddess of Green” (parsley, spinach, kale, celery and apple). So he juiced it all right there in front of me and it was delicious! And today I feel SO much better.

As I was in line a woman behind me asked what I was getting as she was new to juicing. She began to share with me that she was a Physician but had had major health problems over the past 4 months and had to completely change her diet. She explained that she lived a life of “popping a pill” for everything and that had resulted in major health problems. So now she was choosing the “natural” route since the medicated route had failed her.

Our doctors write us quick fix prescription drugs without getting to the root of the problem which is often our diets. Meanwhile we get sicker and sicker. With juicing you are getting SO many nutrients without having to eat all of the vegetables but it’s still in it’s perfect, raw form. So next time you are feeling sick try drinking fresh, vegetable juice instead of popping pills!

Love,
Monica

  1. I used to do handful of spinach, kale, 1/4-1/2 avacado, 1/2 a lime and 1/2 a cucumebr with a few frozen blueberries. So good for you and pretty tasty! I need to get back in that habit!
