Well...after getting sick yet again this year....I decided to do some research...
I am not a big fan of vegetables or fruits in all honesty. In fact, I tended to look elsewhere when my mother "nagged" me about what I was consuming. Getting sick however, is certainly no fun either!! Got the crazy cough that was going around for almost a month, a couple of months ago...got better....then got sick again...it came with a fever and I slept for about 24 hrs...great right:-)....then the unfortunate happened again...yup, you guessed it a third time!!! I was like what is up with my body??? Greatful that the last two times...over the counter medicine worked....but in all honesty who wants to keep taking any kind of medicine at all right???....so again back to my research above and o yeah...taking a second look at veggies and fruits....who knew at this stage of my life, I would discover yet again how right my mother was:-)!
While visiting her a couple of weeks ago...she made me a juice of green peppers, apples, lettuce, cilantro and really not sure what else. It was this green concoction...looked kind of funny at first I admit. Drank it and it was to my pleasant surprise quite tasty. So I decided then and there to buckle down and admit how right she was. Since then I went ahead and purchases a juicer and have been coming up with my own formulas! I love this stuff!! I have been feeling soooo much better in several ways and I am looking forward to staying healthy!
In my research, here is what I found out: all the veggies are good for fighting cancer, (yay!), are high in Vitamin C, B1, B6, B12, and so forth. Celery in particular (very tasty) is good for reducing inflamation, high blood pressure, and cholesterol. Apples are also good for just about everything. There is sooo much I could say....but like they say....pictures speak a thousand words. So here are a few of my latest...hope this inspires anyone who might acutally read this to check it out and test a few recipes of your own!...
