Juicing for your health...
I originally wrote this edited article on The Him. I originally wrote it for young men who I thought needed a
pick-me-up for their nutrition and have later come to realize that both
men and woman need this pick me up for both their comfort-ability and
general state of health. So I have now REPOSTED this edited article here
both on my blog, on the him and a few health websites for both your
edification and entertainment. Let's begin.
Health, wealth and protein?
It is often said that men and woman need to eat a lot of protein...
It is often said that men and woman need to eat a lot of protein to be healthy and to have a good diet. Proteins come from red meats, fish and other types of animal products. The western man and woman in the USA, Canada, Europe and Australia tend to eat quite a large measure of protein. While this protein may give them ample body-musculature and decent looking health, skin tone and etc. We must remember that like complex carbohydrates, meat and proteins are still only a small part of the mix for an increase in a total sense of health.
Most people, in the development of their health regardless of what they are eating / drinking are still lacking many essential minerals, vitamins, antioxidants and amino acids. These are the types of bodily and nutritional products which when consumed with their food will aid in their general health and in the case of disease, their healing. Understanding health and healing means that you need to understand who you are, that you need to understand what certain foods and nutrients do for you and the need for you to understand how proper and correct eating habits will prevent you from having complications with your body as you begin to age.
One way to prevent and deal with aging, to counter potential health problems and to increase your sense of well being then is to start juicing. Juicing is a method where you take raw fruit or raw vegetables and place them into a juicer, two products come out of this process of juicing the fruit. The first is the juice which you drink and the second is the pulp or fiber from the fruit, which you can use in your garden or to create a work farm.
Drinking the juice is a form of detoxification for your body and allows you to start removing and processing any toxins you have picked up due to lifestyle stresses and a bad diet. Detoxification is a subject I will be blogging about in the next few posts, but right now let's look at some quick and easy juice recipes for you to help you start improving your health right away.

Green Juice
The first juice recipe will be on green juice and I use this juice 2-3 times a week to help keep my body clean and clear as I often drink it before I go to work. This juice combined with the exercise and sweat that I produce while I do my day job as a postman gives me a natural high. It also allows me to get nutrients and sweat out any toxins I have accumulated from the night before. In order to make a Green Exercise Juice do the following:
* 2 golden delicious apples
* A small handful parsley
* A handful spinach
* 1 lemon
* 1 cucumber
* 3-4 Celery Stalks
* 1 Cucumber
For those of you who have eaten a little too much of the good stuff (or bad-stuff, depending upon how you frame it) There are certain juices which you can drink which will help you with weight-loss.
The Weight loss Juicing Recipe
* 2 large oranges
* 1 red grapefruit
* 4 frozen strawberries
* 1/2 banana
* 1 cup of cubed watermelon, cold
* 1 cup of cubed cantaloupe, cold
* 1/2 inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled
This Juice combined with regular exercise such as walking, weights or bike riding should help you start to lose a few pounds and also help you to clean your body out, achieving a higher fitness level. Of course there are also breakfast juices you can have when you just want to take the day off, take it easy or have slept in on the weekend.
Breakfast Juice
How to make a breakfast juice is as follows:
* 1 beetroot
* 1 cup red cabbage
* 2 carrots
* 1/2 sweet red pepper
* 1 orange peeled
* 1 apple
* 1 inch ginger
Being healthy!!!
Being healthy has never been easier. It doesn’t take much, just juicing and getting out there to get the fruit. For those of you who are worried about where to get good fruit which is inexpensive go to your local farmers markets and/or fruit wholesaler. There you will be able to pick a variety of fruits and vegetables which will be cheaper than buying them from a green grocer and will also be more varied in what is available.
Until the next post on your health, Daniel Counts. Tuesday the 12th of November 2012.
