Juicing

Oh my this morning I made the most amazing juice!
 
~ A head of romaine lettuce
 
~ 5 apples
 
~ 4 carrots
 
~ 5 stalks of celery
 
~ 1 cucumber
 
 
The taste of this particular juice was so refreshing, invigorating, and uplifting! Green, smooth, and fresh, this juice you must try! I am amazed at the benefits of juicing.
Fresh juice provides us with minerals, vitamins, essential fatty acids, carbohydrates, and proteins. When you include juicing as part of your diet, you will have increased energy, a glowing complexion, strengthened immune system, stronger bones and a reduced risk of disease. When we juice fruits and vegetables we are able to drink highly concentrated nutrients which are then able to enter our bloodstream very quickly.
Juices can flush toxins from your body, are good for your weight, heart, circulation and overall well being.
