Try this on top of the Fish Oil

[lucyluu]

So while most of us are trying this Fish Oil I wanted to share something else that I have been trying.  I dont have a lot of time to exercise due to a 5 month old and 4 year old so I had to become creative in helping myself.  I started juicing 2 weeks ago.  Just a glass of vegetable juice once a day or every other day.  Its been 2 weeks and I am still very tired but I seem to have more energy during the day.  This week I had 3 straight days of completing my whole daily list.  I have not been able to do this since my heart issues really kicked up 2 months ago.  

Anyway, last night I juiced with beet root, apple and celery sound gross I know.  It actually tasted great and I didnt know the great things that come in beet root.  You cant get me to take a bite of a beet but the juice was good.  My blood pressure dropped to 104/70 which is great for me by the end of 24 hours.  If you research beet root online.  Number oneou y have to be careful with it but it does so many great things to your body.  Then I really started to research each vegetable that I juiced with over the past few weeks and I see why I feel a bit better.  The raw juices from vegetables really help your heart and arteries amongst other things.  Here is the site I found that gives all this info http://www.juicingbook.com/vegetables/beet/ go to fruits and vegetables and it gives you this whole break down on how the fruit or vegetable will effect your body down to poop color.  I have not done fruit only vegetables but just wanted to share because I feel some what alive again.  If you decide to juice read the dos and donts on this site.  Wish I would have done that to start it would have saved 2 uncomfortable nights but it was so worth it.

It is starting to be a big thing around her.  I drank the juice for a bit and noticed no change.  Sometimes I wonder.

Hi Everyone.
I live in the uk and no one seems to have heard of the Acai Berry, i follow a low carb diet so i don't eat fruit or veg much. What is this Acai Berry? What does it do? Is it any good for my diet? and where can i get it?

[RNRita]

What brand works well?  I want to be able to throw peels and stuff in......I don't want anything that will get stuck.

Gwanda, I love Acai berry.  Costco carries a drink and I love it.  My friends mom used Monavie and had dramatic changes in her diabetes.  Good stuff.

RN Rita, QVC has  great sales on juicers.  Just keep on the look out.  I got mine for 50% off and only spent 50 bucks.  The chane in your body is worth the $$.

Thanks for the recipes lagoya.  Im having so much fun with this.  I did asparagus and oranges yesterday and it filled me up for hours.

[RNRita]

HAVE YOU TRIED MONIVE IT HAS ACAI BERRY  AND 14 OTHER JUICES IN IT. ITS ABOUT 30.00 A BOTTLE AND YOU TAKE A FOURTH A CUP A DAY IT LOWERS CHLOSTEROL  AS WELL. IVE BEEN DRINKING THE V8 FUSION  ACAI BERRY JUICE AND I SEEM TO HAVE MORE ENERGY I ALSO TAKE BETAPACE AND INDERAL AND ATIVIAN  AND THEY SLOW YOU DOWN. I HAVE HAD ONE ABLATION IT HELPED BUT DOC SAYS I NEED ONE MORE TO GET IT ALL, BUT MY INSUTRANCE DOESNT WANT TO PAY THE 5,000 THE HOSPITAL CHARGES FOR THE 23 HOUR OBSERVATION AFTER THE ABLATION AND 5,000 IS  A LOT OF MONEY. ONE MAN TOLD ME TO PUT FLAX SEED OIL IN COTTAGE SAID THAT HAS STOPPED HIS AFIB I COULDNT STAND THE TASTE I ALMOST THREW UP SO I COULDNT USE IT.  GWANDA

Wheatgrass refers to the young grass of the common wheat plant,  that is freshly juiced . it provide's chlorophyll, amino acids, minerals, vitamins, and enzymes. Claims about wheatgrass' health benefits range from providing supplemental nutrition to having unique curative properties.u can grow it your own home in pots and looks like grass It is  available in juice bars, alone or in mixed fruit and/or vegetable drinks. It is also available in many health food stores as fresh produce, tablets, frozen juice and powder which u can add to drink juices etc

when i say treat juice's as a meal i dont mean to replace your standard meal but if u jucied  1 apple 2 carrots 1 stick of celery some spinach etc u could drink the juice quite fast but u would not eat the veg as fast if u know what i mean so juice;s are meant to be chewed or like if u were eating the veg ,,if i was having a juice i would have it with a sandwhich with wholegrain bread thus still getting fibre etc and getting the full benefits of the enzyme's from the veg.our enzymes get depleted in time as we get older so juicing is an excellent way to top up our enzyme bank so to speak .when we cook our veg we also cook the enzymes and guess what kills these healthy beauties heat so when we first start juicing we might get a few side effects like a slight headache dont worry it means the goodness has arrived just drink them slowly but still have your fruit as normally as well if u want the fibre .carrots celery,spinach and bunch of others i would eat raw or very ligthly heated in a pan with a drop of olive oil i never boil them ,,but that is just me
they have excellent health benefits i am not sure about bp effects but a cleansed body will function better in the long run .i would have one a day ,and it is best drank straight away ...slowly...a juicer is the best thing to have in your kitchen

here are some rep's
good for enzymes

5 carrrots
1 raw beetroot
1/2 a cucumber
1 stick of celery
2 handfuls of spinach
1 handful of broccoli
1/4 of lime
1/4 of lemon
top and tail the carrots and peel the lemon and lime ,and juice everything u can add ice if u wish and drink and enjoy and replenish your enzyme account lol

avocado surprise
1/2 a lemon
2 tomatoes
4 carrots
1/4 inch of ginger
3 apples
1 ripe avocado
juice the lemon,toms,carrots,apples and ginger,,,,,,,,,put the avocado into blender {cant juice} and then add the juice ...blend until creamy and enjoy the nutrients  

so one more
a nice easy one

Lagoya,

Thanks for the note.  I just want this to be over or calm it down some how.  I dont know what else to do.  Wheatgrass hmmm.  What does that look like and where would I buy that?  Do you juice often?  Any favorite recipes?

Banglamom,

I have not used the juice to replace a meal yet but it does fill me up for a while so it probably could.  My tummy and intestines do feel better but some of the veggies will cleanse you.  There might be a few occasions at first where you poo a lot because of the cleanse.  That made for the uncomfortable night.  Not all night just a lot of noise going on in there and an interesting site in the morning.  Since then nothing like that.  I think that my body is used to it now.  Lagoya might be able to explain more since I am fairly new to this.  If you go to the web site and look up the veggies that you want to juice it will tell you if it effects blood pressure or not.  I add ground flax seed into a lot of my foods.  I think that helps with fibre.  I dont know to much about that.  Just remember that juicing is getting the raw vitamins so be careful to not over do it.  Im sure the fruit part of it is ok to do a lot other than the getting to much sugar but the veggies you need to read because you can get to much of a few of them.  The site really breaks it down for you its nice.

[banglamom]

I am always looking for what ELSE can I do- especially if it is NONpharmaceutical and therefore LESS possibility of side effects.  So... these juices are to replace meals?  You feel better?  Does it necessarily DROP your blood pressure?  I mean... what if I can't tolerate it being dropped anymore?  Isn't FIBER one of the best parts of veggies?  Taking altogether too many slow you down meds already... I NEED the fibre (if you catch my drift).  What was the effects of "2 uncomfortable nights" on vegetable juices?

[lagoya]

beetroot juice is a cleanser to the blood .apple and carrot are always the best bases and add the rest and should taste better ..........have u tried adding wheatgrass now there is a juice that will put a spring in the body as a whole ....juices not only are full of enzymes that are mostly destroyed by cooking methods they are full of vitimins ,,the only small thing to rem is to treat them as a meal and drink slowely as they can raise the sugar level quite fast seeing as the fibre is taken out.

enjoy juicing
