Monday, August 31st, 2009

Premenstrual syndrome or what we commonly call as PMS is a group of varied emotions, physical and psychological conditions. It usually transpires before the monthly menstrual cycle of a woman as a result of the change in hormone levels. The symptoms of this vary from back pains, headaches, breast tenderness, hunger cravings, hunger cravings and what all women hate: bloating.

This juicer recipe will help reduce that discomfort and will make you feel healthy and slim. A good juice extractor will guarantee that you are getting the most out of any vegetable’s or fruit’s juices.

Use a vegetable juicer in removing the celery’s nourishing juices. As much as possible, use the stalks and the green leaves of this plant for optimum sustenance. The fresh juices from celeries have been known to be a great addition to a healthy diet due to a number of benefits you can get from it. Its juices are also rich in potassium which makes them great in hydrating the skin resulting in a healthy glow. Celeries have natural diuretic properties which help in controlling one’s craving for sweet foods. This can help significantly in weight loss. Celery juice is thirst-quenching but can be a tad salty so when you’re on a juice diet, pair the celery juice with any other sweet fruit to give you a more delicious drink.

When you’re nearing that time of the month again, prepare your best juicer and go grab some fresh celeries and juice away. You will be glad you did.

This beverage consists of eight medium carrots, three apples and an inch of ginger. It is ideal if you require a bit of pep up in the morning because it will give you all the energy you need for a busy day.

Simply mix all three ingredients into the juice extractor and you’ll have a pint of Road Runner Energy Boost drink.

Recipes for Urinary Tract Infection

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

When bacteria and other infectious organisms invade the urinary tract, an infection occurs. UTIs occur in both men and women although women tend to suffer more because of the anatomical difference. With infants, though, UTI occurs more often with boys because uncircumcised baby boys tend to accumulate bacteria under the foreskin.

One thing that can help flush out the bladder of liquids and bacteria is drinking juices that are high in vitamin C and it also provides an environment in urine that is hostile to most bacteria. Grapefruit and guava juices make excellent healing juice. Foods high in zinc help produce white blood cells and eliminate bacteria. If you live in a tropical country, drinking coconut water is very helpful. Based on my experience when I had a bladder infection, substituting the usual drinks with coconut juice can treat the disease.

If the tract infection has been present for only a day or two, then antibiotics should be your last resort because the bacteria can be immune to them in the future and there are also other side effects from taking them. Fresh juice can help sufferers of urinary tract infection greatly. Drinking a glass of fresh cranberry or blueberry juice first thing in the morning everyday can hasten the healing process. Aside from all the healthful properties of these juices, they are also very effective in restraining the E.coli that causes UTI, stripping the bacteria off the bladder walls.

For some vegetable juice recipe, try kale or spinach juice. For this to work well, you need a good vegetable juicer. Dilute the vegetable you chose in coconut water, but if this is not available, you can substitute this with cantaloupe juice. Throw in one or two inches of ginger for a spicy kick.

Recipe for Excessive Flatulence

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

It’s very natural to pass gas or wind, but excessive flatulence is another story. It is normal to pass wind 14 times a day in average. This contains 40 percent of odorless carbon dioxide produced by bacteria in the intestines, 10 percent is a mixture of numerous other gases which includes the byproducts of microbes and is responsible for the offensive odors. The remaining other half is just swallowed air.

Too much wind can cause abdominal discomfort and can also give you embarrassing situations. The best way to control this is to watch what you eat. After eating the gas will be expelled from five to seven hours. Aside from refraining from dairy products except yogurt, avoid carbonated drinks and chewing gum.

Garlic and ginger are known to be anti-gas and you can either add them when cooking your meals or simply put them in a juicer. Chinese midwives use these spices for women who have just given birth. Juicing two or three cloves of garlic and a slice of ginger can be very effective. It can taste bitter so adding honey to sweeten it.

Another option for getting rid of excessive flatulence is juicing alfalfa sprouts or wheatgrass alone. These are among the most nutritive greens and are mild and easy to drink. Cut half an inch slice of ginger with the skin cleaned or scraped off. Toss it together into the power juicer with your alfalfa sprouts or wheatgrass. One last tip before drinking either one of these juices – it shouldn’t be on the night of a hot date.

Recipes for Asthma Attacks

Sunday, May 24th, 2009

This juicer recipe is for creating different concoctions that can help people who constantly get asthma attacks, such as myself. Drinking this beverage can help clear the airways and, if done religiously, can even prevent asthma attacks.

The first recipe is a combination of carrots and celery. Carrots is known in dispelling excessive mucus from the body. Drinking carrot juice on its own daily is no doubt good for the health. Throwing in one or two ribs of celery will make this drink more effective because celery has super cleansing power. Improvement on tolerance levels will be noticeable after about a week of drinking this.

The next recipe requires more vegetable juicing and will be needing wheatgrass, alfalfa sprouts, parsley and celery. One doctor mentioned that a diet which is high in chlorophyll can help detoxify the liver and colon. Such cleansing can rid our system of much toxicity and it can also reduce inflammation of these organs. First, take a rib of celery and use a handful of the wheatgrass, alfalfa sprouts and parsley. Put these all in the juicer and mix the drink with half a glass of water, adding two teaspoons of raw honey. This combination may be difficult to drink, but it’s definitely highly nutritious and healthy.

Making grape juice and drinking it regularly can be effective in reducing the frequency of asthma attacks. Grapes are known to have potent anti-inflammatory properties and it would also be suitable for children, although those who drink it below seven years old should have the drink diluted with water to prevent diarrhea and wind.

Most asthma sufferers can’t stomach citrus fruits, so another good substitute is drinking a beverage that has a combination of guava juice, strawberries and cranberries because these fruits have a high content in vitamin C.
