Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

People suffer from dry skin due to the cold weather and strong winds during winter time and this can be very stressful to the body. Flaky skin that become tight and get easily irritated can affect the mood and confidence of a person. A regular juice diet can contribute to healthy skin because of the vitamins and oils they contain. This juicer recipe for dry skin combines both sources of essential oils and makes them available in a form that the body can easily assimilate. Fresh juices are the best when it comes to combating dry skin because they are also excellent sources of pure water which helps to rehydrate the skin.

Many oils required for healthy skin can also be seen in products that are rich in essential fatty acids which contain Omega 3, Omega 6 and Omega 9. There are lots of products that can be found in supermarkets which contain organic flax, sesame and sunflower oils as well as germ of rice and oats. Regular consumption of this oil blend can give you healthy looking skin, nails and hair.

For this recipe, you will need two medium or large carrots, half red pepper, two clementines and two teaspoons of the Ultimate Oil Blend of your choice. Peel the carrots if they’re not organic, core and deseed the pepper, then peel the clementines but leave most of the pith because they contain phytochemicals that assist the body in absorbing vitamin C. Combine all ingredients in your electric juicer and add the oil into the remainder of the beverage. Give it a quick mix and then it’s ready to drink.

How to Make Purple’s Passion and Basils Waldorf

Friday, July 24th, 2009

The classic combination of celery and apple, which are two of the main ingredients in a waldorf salad, is what we need to create this fresh juice. You will need four Granny Smith unpeeled apples, two sticks of celery and two pinches of ground cinnamon. The cinnamon gives the juice a comforting and lifting aroma while the apples are said to provide energy through their natural sugars. Make sure you leave the skin on the apples because the nutritional content is stored in that part.

Celery is often used as a diuretic and so this juice can help get rid of any fluid retention. Vegetable juicing celery is good because it also contains potassium which is good for the skin. This serves one pint of the beverage.

This next recipe is good for reducing your cholesterol levels. Grapefruit is recommended forits rich source of bioflavanoids and vitamin C which protect your arteries. Blueberries, my favorite, are also potent antioxidants. Apples can help prevent hardening of the arteries and reduce cholesterol.

Combine 250 grams of blueberries, 125 grams of grapefruit, 250 grams of apples and 1-inch cube fresh root roughly chopped ginger into the power juicer and the health drink is ready to serve.

Saturday, July 18th, 2009

One of the most demanding times of a woman’s life is pregnancy. During this time, a woman needs to get all the nutrients she can get to support the growth of the baby growing inside her. Foods that a woman should avoid when pregnant are raw eggs and meats, cured meats, bitter gourd, alcohol, saffron and fish with mercury.

Alcohol can pass through the placenta and prevents the baby from getting oxygen. Raw eggs and meats may carry salmonella bacteria that can the mother and baby. Cured meats and canned goods contain sodium nitrate that increases the risk of the baby having brain cancer. Mercury in fish can damage the fetal nervous system and the following fish that contains high level of mercury are swordfish, mackerel, shark, trout, tilefish and certain tuna. Saffron taken in excessive amounts can be deadly and cause hemorrhages so it should be avoided by pregnant women and nursing mothers.

Nutritious foods that a pregnant woman should take are spinach and asparagus because these are excellent sources of flavanoids, iron, anti-oxidants and folic acid. One highly nutritious fresh juice is a combination of a medium-sized carrot, two stalks of spinach, six sticks of asparagus and a tomato. This makes a very thick juice. For diabetes patients, skip the carrot.

For another recipe, combine a medium sized cantaloupe, a cup of strawberries and one orange in your electric juicer. Oranges and other citrus fruits may taste acidic but they do not cause your stomach to feel bad.

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.
