Juicing

Natures Exilir – juicing anytime of day is a great medicinal food. It provides the necessary vitamins, minerals & anti-inflammatorys to boost immunity, improve digestive movements & hormone balance. It helps detoxify your cells & encourages weight loss. It can be part of a cleanse (always better under professional supervision particularly if never attempted before) or a morning exilir to boost energy levels and get going. It’s better to drink straight after juicing to preserve the enzymes from the veggies, which help the gut work more efficiently & with a masticating juicer which grinds the veggie fibers slowly rather than crushing them. The juice below is my favourite go to & I just love the colour –
half a lemon, wedge of ginger, a small apple to sweeten slightly, carrots, celery sticks, handful of spinach & a thumb of turmeric root.
Lemon – vit c source, alkalinises the gut, improves skin quality, digestion & weight loss,
Ginger – anti-inflammatory & antioxidant, fights infection, decreases cholesterol & enhances weight loss,…
Apple – good source of fiber, vit c & promote good gut bacteria,…
carrots – provides vitamin A, skin food, anti-aging & prevents cancer,…
Celery – antioxidant properties, cardiovascular health improving blood pressure & cholesterol levels, is a diuretic & reduces bloating,….
Spinach – greens balance blood sugar levels & stop sweet food cravings
Turmeric – a great anti-inflammatory & antioxidant, prevents arthritis, depression, heart disease & cancer,…
all Organic minus all the pesticides & chemicals. Other veggies to create different combinations with are beetroot, fennel, kale, carrot tops, cabbage, cucumber,…. what you’re often drawn to is often what your body needs. I also add a glug of omega oils – udos 369 is a well balanced vegetarian unflavoured oil, fish oils can also be added, as can pumpkin or hempseed by Viridian is another good quality range of vegetarian oils. These oils are good anti-inflammatorys for the gut and support healthy hair & skin, brain health, cognitive function, a happy mood, eye health & vision, cardiovascular health & balanced cholesterol levels,…. research is discovering that obesity, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, celiac, IBS, chrohn’s, skin disease, allergies, neurological conditions, autism?!, cancer & all these chronic and sometimes terminal dis-eases start in the gut !
