Juices for Beginers

 

May is ON, Welcome Spring! 

Its a great time for juice feasting and taking care of our raw foods intake.

Some fruits and veggies in their Raw form for enzymes, vitamins, minerals, its all in there.
Try adding more and more Raw fruits and Veggie in your days. A healthy microbiome needs 20-30 different vegetables and fruits in one week in order to keep the biodiversity of the microbes in the gut.

Here are few ways of adding more Raw good in your life. 

Juice them in a veggie/fruit juicer and add at least one green leafy veggie in your mix. 

Drink a Juice every morning or evening for at least a week, before deciding to go into a juice cleanse.

Observe yourself to see if when you start juicing, there's the tendency to eliminate these food from your menu: processed foods, flour products and pastry, dairy and meat, any stimulants (caffeine-containing), sugars, carbonated drinks.

Adding juicing into your daily life can lead to miraculous results. These are the most commonly experienced health improvements:

• Decreased cravings for sugar and processed foods
• Steadier, better digestion and bowel movement
• Improved energy levels and mood
• Deeper sleep and enhanced rest effectiveness
• Significant weight loss

What To Drink And How Much

Let’s start with the essential principle: listen to your body and Less is more. Go steady, try it once a day and see how long this can take you. OBSERVE everything, maybe start a journal with your process.

• Suggested Juice ingredients
  

  You can make a few liters of juices at one go if you like to save time.

  Juice  #1

•  bunch of kale
• bunch of celery
•  pineapple
• piece of ginger root
•  green apple
• pinch of lemon juice at the end 

         

         Juice  #2

I suggest to make up your own juice recipe, depending on what’s seasonal and available at your market. If you’re not used to making green juices please start with adding banana to every single one, so your taste buds don't feel threatened.

In general, just cultivate a curious mind and read plenty of information about every vegetable and fruit. All of them have unique properties and health benefits, so make sure to tailor your juices and needs.
