Recipe for “March to the Beet”

Friday, August 14th, 2009

To create this great vitality juice, you need one medium beetroot, one handful of basil leaves, two pears, one lime and half a red bell pepper. Top and tail the beetroot and then if it’s organic or home grown scrub it. If not, peel it and cut into pieces small enough to fit in the juice extractor. Remove the seeds from the pepper and wash the pears and lime. Fold the basil leaves up tightly and put them in the health juicer between pieces of beetroot. Let the other ingredients follow, then stir and drink the beverage immediately.

Beetroot juice is very rich and this recipe emphasizes that fact with the lime juice, which helps cut through the drink’s richness. The beetroot is also complemented by the basil in this beverage. Beetroot contains caretonoid Betaine which has numerous benefits including antioxidant properties which is essential for your juice diet. This helps with red blood cell production and lymph activity. Beetroot is also an excellent source of iron while red peppers contain lots of antioxidants which are excellent ingredients in your daily fresh juice intake. Pears are a good source of soluble fiber and will cleanse the intestines, so in addition to this drink’s nutrition, it also prevents cancer and other debilitating diseases.

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.

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.
