Simple Advice for Healthy Nutrition

2010-09-04T09:12:00.001-07:00

I highly advise keeping things simple when it comes to healthy nutrition.

Some simple motto’s that may help you are:

If it rots, its probably good for you

If it comes from a plant eat it, if it is made in a plant stay away

Lean, Green, and Marine

Eat real food

No “sugar free” or “fat free” foods

Stay away from foods with ingredients you cannot pronounce

Common sense and excellent advice. Dr Mercola's always spot on. Getting more green plants in your diet is so important yet often overlooked. I'm all for the smoothies to get my veggies in!

Immune Secret Juice

2 stalks of celery

6 carrots

handful parsley
1-2 cloves of garlic

Prepare vegetables by washing. Peel carrots if not organic. Cut into pieces that will fit into your juice extractor. Push through juicer to make juice. Enjoy. Note: parsley can be bunched or rolled into a tight ball to make it more dense and yield more juice.

Green Juice Recipe #1

2009-10-05T11:00:00.000-07:00

Green juices contain so many good nutrients such as chlorophyll, enzymes, vitamins, minerals and more. Sometimes getting enough green foods into our diet is very difficult, but juicing allows us to mix lots of greens into a tasty meal or snack. There are many great green juice recipes and I've decided to start posting some of them here. No fancy names, just look for green juice recipe. The numbers will correspond with the order I post them in.

Basil Refresher Juicer Recipe

2009-10-02T15:18:00.000-07:00

This juice recipe is adapted from Gweneth Paltrow's recipe on www.goop.com. I've substituted lemon for the lime as I always have a lemon on hand. Initially I thought the basil might be very strong and perhaps overpowering, but I must say that this drink was very well balanced and tasted very good. This recipe doubles the original one because I found that it only made about 5-6 ounces.

Basil Refresher Juice
3/4-1 cup fresh basil
2 cucumbers
1 lemon (peeled. white pith okay)
2 apples

Wash produce and cut into pieces that fill fit into your juicer. Juice and enjoy.

Carrot - Beet - Cucumber Juice
3 carrots
1/2 beet root
1 cucumber
small handful parsley (optional)

Wash vegetables. Cut into sizes that will fit through your juicer and juice.

This juice cleanse recipe is a great over-all tonic. The carrots provide beta-carotene and vitamins which are anti-oxidants. The anti-oxidants help against free radical, cancer causing cells. Beet root is especially good for liver and gall bladder health. Cucumbers help to reduce swelling and strengthen connective tissue. Parsley is a diuretic, good for digestion, and can help prevent bad breath.

I was looking around for some new raw food recipes today and came upon this green smoothie recipe from We Like It Raw. This is not a recipe for your juice machine, but for your blender. Though it's not a "juice", this smoothie will definitely cleanse you. Cilantro is a great herb to help your body remove heavy metals and the citrus fruits help alkalize your body. Good stuff!

Purple colored fruits and vegetables - Phytochemical: Phenloics
Purple foods such as blackberries contain the phytochemicals anthocyanin and phenloics. Phenloics is what gives these foods their rich purple color. It also promotes a healthy heart and has anti-aging benefits.

Yellow colored fruits and vegetables - Phytochemical: Hydroxy Carotenoid
It is a natural occurring phytochemical called hydroxy carotenoid that gives yellow colored fruits and vegetables their color. More research is required to find out the benefits of this chemical.

Blue colored fruits and vegetables - Phytochemical: Anthocyanins
Blue fruits and vegetables, such as the highly esteemed blueberries, contain a wide variety of phytochemicals. Anthocyanins is what gives blueberries their wonderful blue color. Blueberries contain other phytochemicals which can improve memory.

White colored fruits and vegetables. Phytochemical: Anthoxanthins

What is a Juice Cleanse?

2009-09-01T18:17:00.000-07:00

A juice cleanse is a short term detoxification program for cleansing the colon. During the cleanse, only fruit and vegetable juices are consumed. Water may also be consumed. There are a few variations of the juice cleanse which may include adding nutritional powders, herbal teas, or one raw (fruit and vegetable) meal per day.

Juices are made in a juice machine, which extracts and separates the juice from the fiber. Drinking this kind of juice is easier on the digestive system and allows the colon to rest and detoxify itself. The vitamins in the juice are quickly absorbed by the body and used to stay healthy.

Other terms for a juice cleanse are juice fast and juice detox. These terms may be used interchangably.

Before beginning a juice cleanse, you should be in relatively good health and should consult a health professional who can guide you through the process.
