Ever since 1948, when i became deathly ill, which took me away from a very successful football career, I made the wise choice to become a vegan. There have been times I have eaten a bit of butter here and there, but mostly I am a vegan, and am proud to say this kind of diet is part of the reason, at the age of 87, that I still have an enormous amount of vitality and energy.

Veganism makes for a healthy human being...a life that is, in my opinion, a disease free life.

Obviously juicing is a huge part of my regime, and lots of fresh fruits, but without my vegan principles, they are just great healthy habits, not life transforming, humanity sustaining lifestyles.

In my opinion,Veganism can save our Earth and it can save our precious, God Given Vital Health.

I know you must be thinking my age is getting the best of me, to make that kind of a stark statement, but I have been around for a long time, and have come to realize, that we, as humans have ALL the power.

Nobody can change us, if we UNITE.

There is power in numbers. Think about Ghandi......he was just a man, but he realized there were millions and millions more Indians than there were British. He knew, that if he could persuade them to support the new freedom of life awaiting them, they could liberate themselves if they united! We have been extremely fortunate to have had this great soul on our planet.

There IS power in numbers.

Imagine if we could all just stop the over consumption of eating flesh foods, this move, in itself would stop the insanity of factory farming, it would help stop global warming, it would help save our forests, it would create a gentler humanity, it would help save our dwindling water table, that has been almost entirely drained, due to cattle feeding...and it would help feed our starving brothers and sisters on this planet of ours. Did you know 15 million children die every year of starvation? That does not even count adults.

The lists go on and on and on......

Over breeding of pigs, chickens, cows and sheep (in other nations) has become out of control, triggering millions and millions of pounds of their flesh to be destroyed due to ecoli outbreaks, time in and time out.

We are now recklessly mowing down forests in other countries so that the farmers in those Countries can profit on our, seemingly insatiable desire for Cow meat, yet, even though it's not our Country that is losing its forests, by the droves, they are still forests that belong to our Earth, and this Earth is all we have.

We ARE all connected.

The inhumanity we perpetrate upon veal is another horrifying reality that most just don't want to look at or acknowledge. I would rather not discuss it here because to offend anybody is not my motive, and I realize we all come to these awareness in our own time. I find it's my duty to share what I have spent over sixty years teaching and living, that if we could just do one thing to help our world, then by going vegan would be the most successful one choice that would impact EVERYBODY and EVERYTHING.

I ask you, and try to appeal to your conscious mind, to please think about your pets you love so much. Your loyal dog, and your sweet cat or bird that is yours and gives you so much joy and pleasure....that each animal has his/her own personality, and that cows and sheep and pigs all have sweet personalities, each one unique in their own way.

These animals we torture, kill and eat are just as precious and unique as our own pets.

I am not asking you all to become vegans overnight. I am just asking you to think about where your burger comes from the next time you order one. And then, if you can, imagine choosing another meal choice that does not carry the profoundly negative ramifications that flesh foods create.

Besides my deep spiritual beliefs in God and our Beloved Earth, I do believe Veganism can help save humanity and our planet.

One last thing...don't forget to JUICE your greens!

A Green You makes for a Green World.

We have been so blessed to have been able to share our collective 100+ years of teaching the Power Of Juicing. That's why we called our book, The Juiceman's Power of Juicing, because it is, to us, one of the most powerful way of changing our lives for the better. Our new book that we wrote ourselves (self-published) Live Foods/Live Bodies, is our favorite book and a book so many people are raving about. This is a book publishers couldn't EDIT! This way, our own words and our own ways of teaching were not polluted by big publishers with their own agendas.

We have received thousands of letters from others sharing their stories. They seem to be so excited that it works, and mostly that they are shocked how much it has changed their lives on so many levels, not just about adding juicing into their diets.

In case you don't know much about juicing, let us take just a few moments to share the benefits of what juicing does for us when we incorporate it into our daily lives. (Over 1 quart per day gets the best results):

1. Juicing Vegetables and Greens changes our palates which keeps us from being tempted to eat sugary foods and overeating.

2. Juicing brings us back into Nature in a big way. We begin to wake up from the sleep of eating white and dead looking foods.....because when we juice, everything seems to become bright. We start to smell the natural fragrance of red bell peppers, and the aromas of fresh parsley juice combined with limes and celery......the colours are incredible.

3. Juicing helps strip our body of excess fat and brings a beautiful natural glow to our skin

4. Juicing helps balance our hormones, our blood pressure, our digestive tract, our circulation and helps detoxify our blood as well
5. Juicing aids in bringing back natural hydration to our bodies, along with it helping to eliminate toxins from our intestines and colon.

6. Juicing will bring light to your eyes and you WILL begin to start to become attracted to a different lifestyle that magnetizes you to more and more living foods (sun-baked foods).

7. Juicing helps us relax and sleep well.

Last but not least......Juicing attracts our children to want to see all the fun you are having in your kitchen!

I will write another blog tomorrow about HOW to make JUICING successful in your own home by incorporating 7 special steps for success!

JUICE for Vitality and Longevity!

Read more]]> Do you have a restaurant supply store in your neighborhood? Where we live, there is a store called Cash and Carry for restaurants in our city.

If you pay with a debit card or with cash, anybody can purchase, so you don't have to be a restaurant owner.

We found out about it through some friends, and sure enough, we were shocked to see how reasonable and fresh these greens were!

For example, you can get fresh mint, fresh parsley, fresh spinach for next to nothing. We stock up on these large bags, go home and soak and wash thoroughly, our greens, with pesticide wash remover.

We then spin dry the greens and store them in large rectangular and square containers.

These greens last an entire week......and all for just a few dollars!

We just 2 quarts of green juice per day for our family ~ and we can assure you that we get through, usually about seven days, without having to purchase more greens. Our entire bill for the greens purchase was about $10.00.

How can you find a restaurant supply store in your city?

Google it!

Good luck....and please let us know how successful you have been. We want to get your feedback!

Hugs from me and Jay.

Read more]]> Lately we have been asking you all what your quirks, challenges and frustrations you face when it comes to successful juicing. Part of the reason we ask is because we will be conducting an all day workshop soon to introduce you to Our Living Kitchen principles.

Today, we will share some of what we will be teaching, so that now you can see how we successfully juice everyday, if not twice a day.

The MOST Important Steps to Successful Juicing is:

#1. Preparation.

#2. Organization

#3. Storage

#4. Juicing

#5. Clean up

==========================

========================== ======

Today we are sharing with you "Preparation"

#1. Preparation:

Clean your kitchen before you go to the store. When you come home from the store with your fresh greens and produce, your kitchen will be ready. It will also be mentally and physically easier to prepare.

Fill your sink up with cold water and place all your greens, apples, carrots into the sink. If your produce is not organic, then make sure to soak for several minutes, a good pesticide wash, and then rinse your produce and spin dry (greens only) in a salad spinner to make sure all your greens are dry. Dry greens stay for a good ten days to two weeks, properly prepared and stored.

Double Zip-lock bags are great for storage if you don't have square, oblong, or rectangular storage containers.

Make sure you have some Quart Jars or Stainless Steel Containers (to contain your juice for work or for when you are on the go.) Jars are cheap, and keeps the juice well only for the refrigerator (not more than six hours...so be careful not to let your juice sit too long, it breeds bacteria when it is store for more than six or seven hours.

Find a wholesale grocery store for your greens. Here in Washington, we have a store called Cash and Carry. We buy, once a week, from Cash and Carry, super huge bags of fresh parsley, fresh basil, fresh mint, cucumbers and kale. The prices are incredible because these foods are for restaurants, and since we pay with cash, it's open to everybody,not just restaurant owners. We stock up on these greens, and then use the grocery stores, or organic grocery stores nearby to finish our shopping.

Purchase sturdy large rectangular, square or oblong containers to store your greens inside. When you get home, wash your greens and store them in these containers, so that when its time to juice, all you have to do is bring the containers out of the refrigerator and to the sink, so that the ease of juicing seems to inspire us to juice more and more.

Once you JUICE what it is you like, snap back the lids onto the container and slide back into the shelves of your refrigerator, and you are good to go the next time you juice.

Preparing your refrigerator is quite important too. For example, carrots. Carrots should be washed (brushed) and the ends cut off when you get home from the grocery store. Store in the crisper of your refrigerator, and what we do is put semi wet paper towels on the base of the drawer and the put the carrots on top of that, then cover them with paper towels to keep them moist and protected.

With apples, you can do the same as carrots, but sometimes what we do is cut them up beforehand
and store them in our airtight containers. This makes juicing by far easier and faster, but with apples, we take a bit of lemon juice and sprinkle it over the apples to keep them from oxidizing ~ but sometimes that takes too much time, so we just keep our apples in the crisper (separate crisper from the carrots) and then cut them upw hen we are ready to juice.

Our new Juicedaddy 2 in 1 juicer has a large mouth, so most of the apples can fit through the mouth without having to cut them in pieces. However, when we are juicing with our GreenStar Elite, we use apples with our greens and with this Juicer, you have to cut the apples in small pieces to get them through the hopper.

(Berries can be treated like greens....they are fragile and need to be preserved in containers with a bit of water so they can stay fresh.)

We will share our #2 of our 5 Easy Steps for Successful Juicing tomorrow!

Happy Juicing from Jay and Linda Kordich

Read more]]> Yikes....we had unexpected guests last night, and they came at dinnertime! So I had to think quickly, because they were journalists, AND I do believe they were interested in seeing how good we would be in our kitchen, spur of the moment!

(they were doing a story on our new book; Live Foods/Live Bodies)

As I freaked out (quietly of course) our fridge didn't have much in it, AND they weren't vegetarians nor were interested in being converted.

I found myself stressing about this entire thing.... but then I thought ok.....what do we have in the house I can just throw together?

Here's what we had:

1. freshly made corn tortillas (12)
2. tomatillos
3. onions
4. fresh cilantro
5. parsley
6. corn
7. red potatoes
8. black beans
9. cabbage
10. carrots
11. apples
12. limes
13. cucumber
14. ginger
15. roasted salsa


I immediately thought, let's just make a good vegan potato enchilada recipe and just stuff it with veggies and make a good green sauce with what I have and hope for the best! Luckily, it really DID come out beautifully, but here are some tips you will need to make sure don't happen, so your meal will be successful:

#1. Make sure to make enough green sauce to pour over every layer, including the top so that the enchiladas will be moist. Because we are not frying the tortillas, they need to be moist when we go to cut pieces out of the dish.
#2. Put the cole slaw at the side of the dish when you are placing the square enchiladas onto the plate.
#3. The chopped onions should be sweet onions and the olives are good over the top. You can also put more diced cilantro and/or parsley over the top with the onions and olives, but don't put lettuce over the top. We don't want the lettuce to compete with the cole slaw.

--------------------------

-----------------------

VEGAN POTATO ENCHILADA

I used the 8 small tomatillos and cut them in quarters; added 1/2 cup diced onions and steamed for 30 minutes. I then added 1 cup lightly packed cilantro; 2 tbsp. brown sugar, 3 cloves garlic. i cooked it for another 5 minutes and then blended it all in the blender.

Meanwhile, I steamed the 8 red potatoes (cut in cubes) and smashed them up when they were soft, adding salt and pepper, fresh corn and frozen peas (one cup each), black beans (1 cup) and 1/2 white onion (diced). I mixed it all together.

I then used a large ceramic rectangular deep dish (6 by 9), and placed four corn tortillas at the bottom of the bowl, then put the potato spread over the top and then sprinkled a little over the top with the green sauce, and then covered again with four tortillas, then covered the tortillas with another layer of the potato filling, then adding more of the green sauce, then topped it off with another layer of tortillas.

To finish it off, I added the rest of the green sauce over the top (it should cover the entire dish) and then took another 1 cup of roasted salsa I had from earlier in the week, down the middle of the dish so as to make it look good (red and green!).

I cooked it at 400 degrees for 40 minutes (covered with foil to make sure the top tortillas don't get crispy.).

Once it was done, I chopped raw onions and black olives and sprinkled over the top.

-------------------------- -------------------------- -----

I made a decent cole slaw to go with it:

COLE SLAW**

4 cups super thinly sliced shredded green cabbage
2 cups diced (very thinly) carrots
1/2 cup cilantro (diced)

dressing: black pepper and cider vinegar.

-------------------------- -------------------------- ------

SUPER GREEN DIGESTIVE COCKTAIL JUICE!

We then, of COURSE made a good green juice to drink before our meal:

2 cucumbers
2 large limes
6 ribs celery
1 inch fresh ginger root
(I used the rest of the cilantro....stems and all....about 1/2 cup)
2 cups fresh parsley
2 large fugi or golden delicious apples

YUMMMMMMY!

-------------------------- -------------------------- --------

So, guess what?

They LOVED the meal, felt full and didn't realize that this entire meal was VEGAN and highly nutritious.

We didn't use ANY oil, nor any animal products....so it was also very much A LOW fat meal.

And.............I didn't realize that just making something from nothing is far easier than one would think!

**(Don't underestimate the coleslaw salad....it's utterly delicious this way. Just make sure that the cabbage is very very thinly cut, with the carrots being just a bit more thick. )

ENJOY! :)

Oh....one more THING.....Jay had actually made an appointment with them and forgot to tell me ~ once they left he said, well, Linda......I remember now they were coming over.

Needless to say, I wanted to KILL him! But of course ..... he is just too adorable to be mad. And meanwhile I do believe it ended up being so much more interesting for all of us! They getting to see us in action at the spur of the moment, and US putting something together spontaneously.

here we are in action....in a different home. our home kitchen now is super small but nicely organized. :)

Read more]]> Here's a GREAT salad dressing that we use almost daily on our salads. Jay and I wanted to share it with you!


2 cups parsley
1 cup fresh basil
1/2 cup grapeseed oil
1/4 cup bragg's aminos
2 large cloves garlic
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/2 cup water (more or less depending on how you like it)
1 whole lime or 1/2 lemon (juice)
1 inch ginger root (peeled and fresh)

Put everything in the blender and blend for about 30 seconds to one minute, depending on the kind of blender you have. It makes it super super lime green, and this dressing also is great in wraps, on salads, on top of flax crackers as well. It even makes a great supersauce for vegeburgers!

Our new book, Live Foods/Live Bodies!

Read more]]> I like to say that our living kitchen is a manifestation of truly believing specific appliances and loving attitudes actually makes your kitchen your food and your life come alive. Chop wood/carry water is a big part of our living kitchen. We need to begin to feel comfortable in our kitchen, to relax...creating it to become a sanctuary for us. Most of us have negative images in our head and heart about feeling as if we are the ones who 'have' to buy produce, prepare meals, clean up after the meals, because the rest of the family is too busy with their lives, so we end up feeling resentful, and unappreciated.

Chop wood/carry water is a Zen-like approach towards learning to love the discipline and patience it takes to embrace something we need to do everyday of our lives. Let's face it, we have to face our kitchens more than once, if not twice or three times daily. We are responsible for nourishing ourselves and our families health and wellness. Chop wood/carry water means practicing something on a daily basis with these virtues such as patience and respect, reliability and perseverance laced with love and appreciation, so that in time we become 'ONE' with ourselves and our relationship to our kitchen instead of this defunct and dysfunctional daunting responsibility we used to see our kitchens as being.

Here are some ideas how you can start practicing to build your own living kitchen:

1. keeping our kitchens clean on a daily basis
2. keeping our kitchens spices, pantry and refrigerator organized
3. supporting our kitchens with living appliances

4. keeping our refrigerator filled with living foods and greens, prepared for juicing and supersalads.
5. lighting a candle in our kitchen to give reverence to mother nature, our loved ones and to our own divine self.... out of gratitude for these gifts and opportunities.

6. Place flowers from your garden or from the florists onto your kitchen island or near your sink.


Now what?

On a saturday, when most of us want to sleep in or go shopping...why not turn on your favorite cd, light a candle and re-do your kitchen? Clean out the pantry, the refrigerator, wash the floors, buy flowers or better yet, pick some fresh herbs from your garden or buy some to make your kitchen smell fragrant. While you are working in your kitchen, you can clean and store your greens for the week and cut your carrots and beets for either juicing or super salads.

Relax into the chop wood/carry water principle. Consistent presence in your kitchen by building these rituals twice a month to ensure your relationship with your kitchen is alive and well is the road to loving your living kitchen.

With consistent dedication laced with love....real devotion and love, your kitchen will start to take on a new face, and you will start to resonate more with seeing it as a sanctuary rather than a place of dis-connection, drudge or duty.

Once you get your kitchen nicely organized, you can start to think about replacing some of the appliances that do not support living health..with empowering "living kitchen" appliances. Then you will start to wake UP to the fact that juicing daily, eating supersalads, keeping a beautiful kitchen is absolutely transforming!

Depending on how old you are, you may well have negative memories relating to nourishment or your kitchens, meals, etc.,. where nobody was home, nobody cared, or if they cared, the food was purchased from restaurants, fast food places, or perhaps put together without much care for nourishment or love. The last place you thought LOVE would live could have been in the kitchen.


Perhaps you had a great experience in your family then, and even now, and that nourishment with either foods or love were not an issue for you....wow what a great platform then for you to build your own Living Kitchen without any real struggles to overcome first....but for a lot of us...........

Your kitchen can be a very stressful place in our home, or it can be a place of relaxation. For those of you who have had trouble identifying yourself in the kitchen as someone who is loved, appreciated and honoured by your family members or even yourself, then you should know this can be changed, altered and if you like....be totally transformed.

For example, let's take a look at what a transformed kitchen looks like. Most of our kitchens have appliances such as: coffee maker, deep fryer, slow cooker, aluminum and teflon coated cookware and tools, and the obvious ovens, and stoves. These are appliances that truly take our 'vital' health away from us. How can we build vitality and living health when our own appliances we have, can't come near to supporting this new and transformative way of living and being?

Here is what a living kitchen looks and feels like: vital nourishment on every level; physical, mental, spiritual and emotional. Most regular appliances or foods don't build nourishment whatsoever, yet in our living kitchen, living foods create true nourishment in our bodies. Living juices such as freshly made juices also build nourishment and 'life' in our bloodstream as it also builds 'life' in our entire being. Our living kitchen also is a wonderful platform for placing our living appliances on the countertops of our kitchens such as...juicers, blenders, soymilk makers, dehydrators, tofu makers, electronic sprouters, electronic herb gardens....wow, can you imagine how incredibly vital you are going to feel and "Be' ... when your kitchen mirrors your quest for you and your loved ones to be healthy, vital and nourished on all levels?

Living the simple life...connecting to real, authentic, unadultered foods and fresh juicing can help us better understand the beauty of natural foods, mother nature and the awesome transforming powers of a working and joyful Living Kitchen.

As Natural Living Food preparers, we really DO work harder everyday in the kitchen, but by using these meditative and loving principles of prayer, gratitude and love for who we are and who we love, helps us ease into these daily kitchen duties with grace.

Hugs to you all from me and Jay ~ and here's to Joyful Juicing!

me, jay and the kids when they were younger!

Read more]]> Jay and I sometimes are a bit reticent when we speak about a Vegan diet. It threatens many people who still think that eating animal based foods is the ultimate way to eat, or the only kind of diet humans should be eating, or are feeling defensive, because food habits can be quite personal and hard to change.

However, as Jay and I both age, we can see that the ONLY way we will be able to sustain ourselves on this planet in the future, in an empowering and healthful way, is if we can unite as much as we can by changing our ways of eating, thinking and sustaining ourselves.

Obviously there are so many other ways we need to do to transform the way we live on this planet, but since Jay and I have been teaching a non-violent diet for over 100 years, collectively, we want to focus on what we know and what we have observed for many decades.

Changing our diets is the fastest and most effective ways we can change our world today......

But the bottom line, is most of us are attached to the ways we think and live, eat and express ourselves, but we are asking you to try to imagine our lives being rich in vitality, longevity and balance.....THIS is what a Vegan Diet can and will do for YOU!

Next time you reach for a meal, or go to the grocery store, try to go just one week without eating foods that are animal based.....try to juice everyday some powerful greens like the one recipe we are leaving for you today and then see how you feel. This is the easiest way to start create a non-violent way of eating, and in time your entire world will transform itself.....because once our diet changes, our lives take on a powerfully transforming quality.

Juicing is the BEST way to start....even if you don't change a thing.......trust us!

Here's our Life Transforming Supergreen Tonic!

4 ribs celery
1 cup spinach
1 cup parsley
1 inch fresh ginger root
1 lime with skin
3 golden delicious apples

ANY juicer can juice these greens and apples, and if some of the pulp is full of the un juiced greens, put the pulp through the juicer again. It helps!

We went to Joe's Garden yesterday....a BEAUTIFUL organic farm for our community here in Washington and boy did they have RIPE Strawberries! So this morning we made a fabulous strawberry juice! Here's the recipe: 15 Strawberries and 4 golden delicious Apples and 1/2 inch fresh Ginger root. (VERY good for purifying our bloodstream!)

Read more]]> Carrots are one of the most healing foods that provides the finest, most assimilable and highest quality in nutrients, especially from its juice. It is an excellent source of pro-vitamin A, vitamins C, D, E, K, B1 and B6.

It is rich with biotin, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, organic sodium and some trace minerals.

These known phytonutrients in carrots are lutein, lycopene, anti-oxidants alpha, beta and gamma carotenes, zeaxanthin and xanthophyll. Phytonutrients and antioxidants are nature's marvelous provision to help the healing of various food related or overconsumption related diseases.



Benefits

Carotenes, (carotenoids) the most powerful ingredient in carrots, is an anti-oxidant that has tremendous healing virtues for many diseases. Consuming up to 24 of carrot juice daily will do much more for you than many other techniques or strategies out there.

Here are some health challenges that could be helped by drinking carrot juice regularly:

Acidosis: The vital organic alkaline elements in carrots help balance the blood acidity and blood sugar. Adding greens to this tonic help the chances of clearing this up two fold.

Acne: Its powerful cleansing properties are effective in detoxifying the liver, thus overall effective for acne which are caused by toxicity of the blood. An effective colon cleanser can help in accelerating the skin to clear up as well.

Anemia: Carrot's molecules are closest to human's hemoglobin molecules, making it very beneficial in blood-building.

Atherosclerosis: The highly cleansing power of this miracle juice scrubs away even the old build-up of arterial deposits, reducing the risks of heart diseases and stroke. Add some garlic, celery and cucumber and you have a wonderful tonic.

Asthma: The anti-oxidants effectively protects the respiratory system from infections and free-radical attacks. Antioxidants are prolific in greens, carrots, and all vegetables, however, the chlorophyll rich foods such as broccoli, arugula, dandelion, spinach, wheatgrass, kale, chard, etc.,. can help as well.

Cancer: Studies show that adding one carrot per day in our diet significantly reduces cancer risks. Imagine if you are juicing? That would mean you are juicing up to 25 carrots a day if you are drinking over 32 ounces of carrot juice a day.

Cholesterol: Pectin in carrots lowers the serum cholesterol levels. Make a glass of 50% carrots and 50% apples, and you will have a rich HIGH pectin tonic in your hands.

Congestion: Carrot juice is very effective in dispelling mucus from the ear, nose and throat area, easing nasal congestion, sinusitis, phlegm and mucus in the throat and other similar disorders.

Constipation: Take five parts of carrot juice with one part of spinach juice regularly to regulate chronic constipation problems. If you don't get results, add dandelion greens to the mix, making your carrot juice 60% and the greens 40%.

Emphysema: If you smoke or are exposed to second-hand smoke, taking carrot juice regularly may well save your life. Chlorophyll, chlorophyll, chlorophyll......our lungs can recover when we flush them with chlorophyll rich juices such as: collard greens, cabbage, spinach, parsley, kale, bok choy, dandelion greens, arugula, mustard and romaine.

Eyes: Beta-carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin are some of the finest nourishment that help keep the optic system in tip-top condition, with special protection against astigmatism, macular degeneration and cataracts. Adding tomatoes and leafy greens such as spinach, kale, chard, collard greens to carrot juice enhances the chances to keep your eyes fit as a fiddle.

Fertility: One of the reasons for infertility is lack of nutrients and enzymes in your dietary. Carrot juice taken regularly, is able to nourish your body back to fertility. Relaxation, stress free living, and meditation help increase fertility as well. A good living foods diet combined with 32 ounces of vegetable juices and a stress free life could work wonders.

Inflammations: Its anti-inflammatory effect greatly helps reduce arthritis, rheumatism, gout and other inflammations.

Immune systems: It does wonders for boosting the immune system by increasing the production and performance of white blood cells; building resistant to various kinds of infections. Adding chlorophyll to this of any kind such as spinach, parsle, kale, collard greens, swiss chard, it enhances the performance even more.

Nursing mothers: Carrot juice helps enhance the quality and quantity of a mother's breast milk. If you add swiss chard and celery, you can help create a more calming effect to your new baby as well.

Pregnancy: Drinking carrot juice regularly during pregnancy, especially during the last few months, will reduce the chances of jaundice in baby, and included in that would be the fact it helps swelling of the feet from the pressure of the baby's weight. Add 25% more of spinach, parsley or wheatgrass to this and you will have better results.

Skin problems: The high quality vitamin C and other rich nutrients in carrot juice efficiently nourish the skin, preventing dry skin, psoriasis and other skin blemishes. Combing the carrots with parsley and you will see better results.

Thread worms: One small cup of carrot juice in the morning taken daily for a week can help clear up thread worms in children. Add garlic to this and you have a more effective treatment, although only use one clove of garlic to ten carrots. If they are children under 10 years old, only use 1/4 clove.

Ulcers: The abundance of nutrient present in carrots help nourish cells that have been starved of nutrients which result in ulcers. Combine 50/50 with green cabbage and now you have a double effect for helping ulcers.

Water retention: Carrot juice is diuretic and helps to eliminate excess fluids from the body, reducing water retention, especially for women during their monthly menstruation cycle and in pregnant women.
Mix the carrot juice 50/50 with celery or cucumber and you have a double effect for reducing swelling.



Tips of Choosing Carrots:

Carrots under six inches in length are sweeter. Choose the longer variety and organic variety as well.

The most nutrients are concentrated just under the skin so try not to peel off the skin. To clean it, simply use a hard brush to brush the skin.

Cut them lengthwise to preserve the nutrients as when cut in small rounds, they easily lose their nutrients in water when you wash or cook them.

Can I turn Orange in Colour?

You may have heard of people "turning orange" from drinking carrot juice. It is not the carrot juice that is showing through the skin but the pigment called melanin which has a powerful antioxidant as well to it, and it can also be an overflow of materials which have been clogging the liver and are being eliminated with the consumption of carrot juice. This shows how effective carrot juice is at cleansin. It's a good sign that your system is getting a good clean-up. When this "turning orange" happens, continue to take your carrot juice and the color will eventually go off as it continues to cleanse. It may take six months or more before the colour goes back to normal, and some say that is when the liver is now flushed of its toxins. We don't know for sure, but this is what the experts have told us for many decades after researching and testing.

HAPPY JUICING EVERYBODY!

Here's to your Precious Vital Health!
