Advantages of Juicing

HERB-OF-THE-WEEK / Advantages of Juicing
As always, I continue to pray that God is merciful and gracious to us.

"Though many believe that we are physical beings with a spiritual
component, we are most assuredly spiritual beings with a physical
component. Therefore any hopes of saving the flesh, individually or
collectively, must first begin with an attempt to save the spirit."

One of the most overlooked and underated things that we can do to
enhance our health and maximize our intake of nutrients and
phytochemicals (vast amounts of nutrients found in plants) is by juicing.

For instance:

Beets rejuvenate and detox our liver.

Cabbage works to suppress cancer of the stomach, colon and intestines
as well as ulcers.

Carrots are extremely rich in natural betacarotene (vitamin A) and
other cartenoids good for vision.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away.

To say nothing of the high amounts of soluable fiber such as pectin.

There are mountains of evidence to support the cancer fighting and
protective qualities of raw juices and foods. Sometimes juicing has
proven successful where conventional medicine has offered little hope.
Especially in the case of cancer. This benefit of juicing is of
particular significance to Nick Ledger, founder of UK Juicers. A
common sense approach to natural nutrition has enhanced his general
vitality and well being by halting the symptoms of a serious illness.
Nick suffered from Ulcerative Colitis for several years. He recovered
from the condition by completely transforming his eating habits to
include raw fruit and vegetable juices, sprouts, and other raw foods.
This direct experience of underpins UK Juicers' commitment to
promoting a healthy lifestyle.

Some natural health practioners suggest a JUICE FAST for cancer,
meaning a person eats NOTHING but the vegetable juice and water during
the treatment, sometimes for 3 or 4 or 5 weeks at a time. WARNING:
This may not be wise AFTER you have stared chemo because it will
detoxify your system releasing sometime fatal amounts of the
chemotherapy back into your bloodstream all at one time. But it may
very wise to do BEFORE we get cancer.

THE BEST INFORMATION I'VE FOUND FOR FIGHTING CANCER WITH JUICING IS HERE:

While we may find it simply impossible to eat a head of cabbage, five
pound bag of carrots, a beet and three apples it is very easy to drink
it in one day. Imagine the health benefits!! You can drink far more
fruit and vegetables than you could possibly eat and it is all in its
raw, natural state. Five portions a day? With a juicer it couldn't be
easier!

Remember that sugar is made from beets. Carrots too, are naturally
sweet. So a BAC (Beet, Carrot, Apple Juice) is very sweet!

The juices are fresh and raw and not treated by heat in any way.
Proteins, Vitamins, Minerals and Enzymes are all destroyed or
transformed into a less beneficial state by heat. Cooked produce is
not only less nourishing, there is considerable evidence to support
the idea that some cooked foods are harmful.

By juicing we can increase our immunity to disease, enhance our good
looks, put less wear and tear on the digestive system and provide our
body with an excellent source of raw material for healing.

I can go on and on about the health benefits of juicing, but I won't.
Do your own research and you might be surprised then amazed and
finally ASTOUNDED on the information available and you will wonder why
this is information isn't widely made known.

But I will help you with your choice of a juicer....

You want the wide mouth (wide feeder) otherwise you spend hours
chopping and dicing vegetables to fit into the juicer whech gets to be
a BIG headache and a deterrent to juicing. Jack LaLane has a power
juicer with a wide mouth. Do a search on Google.com
(By the way, I've heard that Jack LaLane treated his case of lung
cancer by juicing over 30 years ago!!)

Until next time remember, most illness (upwards of 80% according to
experts) can be attributed to FOUR important factors that can eaken
your immune system and your ability to fight off disease. In this order:

1. INADEQUATE REST - Research continues to prove, that no two ways
about it, good quality sleep has proven to be the singlemost
important factor in determining or influencing your health.

2. INABILITY TO DEAL WITH STRESS - If you run around all day like a
chicken with it's head cut off, it will increase your chances of
getting ill and will aggrevate, tremendously, any illness that you
already have, no matter what it is. Anxiety, depression, anger, guilt
or also STRESS factors. LEARN TO FORGIVE AND LET GO.

3. INADEQUATE OR IMPROPER NUTRITIONAL HABITS. There are a lot of
practicing vegetarians lately and some load up on the white sugar,
white flour, starches, processed and refined foods. Many whole
foods/alternative medicine type practioneers believe we should be
eating at least 5 times as many fruits and vegetables as meats. Most
experts agree that most diets are seriously deficient in the amounts
of fruits and vegetables that we should be eating to remain healthy.

4. INADEQUATE EXCERCISE - A sedentary lifestyle that does not include
enough excercise will catch up with you. FIND SOME KIND OF PHYSICALLY
ENGAGING ACTIVITY EVEN IF IT'S ONLY WALKING!
