You can ask every health authority you know what are the daily recommended servings for vegetables and fruits and every time the answer will be 6-8 servings per day, which very few people actually get. Juicing is an easy way to virtually guarantee that you will reach your daily target for vegetables.

The top 3 reasons to consider vegetable juicing are

1.   you absorb all the nutrients from vegetables

2.   you to consume an optimal amount of vegetables in an efficient manner

3.   and you can add a variety of vegetables to your diet

21 Day Juice Fast Journey - Day 1

Happy Spring!!

1957 was a good year and 57 is a great birthday to celebrate. Join me in my countdown to my 57th birthday as I spring clean with a 21 day juice fast journey. All of my juice during week one will come from my favorite spot for lentil soup, La Pita Cafe (696 & Greenfield - Southfield, MI).


DAY 1 (March 29th)

A breezy Saturday morning - water, 5 mile walk and CARROT APPLE juice for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Lots of water and lots of rest.

 

Carrot juice is extremely rich in vitamins and minerals. These minerals include sodium, iron, potassium, calcium, manganese and sulfur (the third most abundant mineral in your body after calcium). Carrots contain Thiamin, Niacin, Vitamin B6 (aka folate), Vitamin C, vitamin E, Vitamin K and Vitamin A, which is good for your eyes. They also are high in dietary fiber and contain beta-carotene which is great for weight loss!

Apples are high in fiber (especially the peelings). Apples are also good sources of electrolytes for fluid balance and also minerals (Potassium, Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium).

 

Where's the protein? You might ask because everything in life needs protein to live and all vegetables contain some protein, which means eating a variety of vegetable can be a great and adequate source of protein!
