Power of Juicing

"Juicing is the 15 minute nutrient express to health" - Jason Vale

Juicing is something you can benefit from immediately. Both my wife and I started juicing probably 6-8 months ago, and right away realized a difference in digestion, energy, sleep pattern, and overall feeling of good health.

Check out these benefits of juicing:

1. Juicing allows you to take a large amount of fruits and vegatables into your body in one go. Many more than you would be able to sit down and eat.
2. Many of us have impaired digestion. Juicing bypasses digestion allowing the nutrients to go straight to the blood stream, which carries them throughout the body wherever they are needed.
3. Juicing allows you to enjoy a wider variety of vegetables you may not eat whole. This allows you to rotate the food you eat and reduces the risk of developing a food allergy. Don't eat the same salad everyday, mix it up.
4. Green juices are high in chlorophyll, so concentrate on those. They are a great way to cleanse the body of the daily toxins you ingest. Chlorophyll attaches to toxins and heavy metals and helps remove them from your body, it also stimulates red blood cell production.

Interesting new movie coming out from the makers of Food Matters.

Tropical Punch

A great tasting juice for the morning or evening out on the patio.

• 1 mango
• 1 peach or nectarine
• 2 oranges
• 2 apples
• 1 lemon

Add some flax oil or chia seeds for your omega fats. Makes 2 servings.
ENJOY!

BTW - don't forget to remove the pit from the fruits unless you want to buy a new blade for your juicer.

Tuna Plate

I stole this super easy meal idea from my mother-in-law. What a great summer dish.

Basically all you need to do is mix up some tuna. Be creative. We put onion, celery, mayo and worstershire in it. Add whatever you want.

Arrange the tuna on top of some lettuce in the middle of the plate and surround it with veggies, fruit, hard boiled eggs, cheeses. Really just grab anything in the fridge you desire and add it.

Drizzle some olive oil and balsamic on top and enjoy out on your patio on a nice summer's night.
