Juicing Everything

Tweet

I started juicing last year. I watched Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead on Netflix and literally after I finished watching the documentary I got up and went and bought me a juicer and a lot of fruits and vegetables. I would love to say that I did a reboot and my life was drastically changed from that moment on. However, that was not the case for me. I had an allergic reaction to one of the ingredients that I used from one of the recipes. A few days after I started juicing my throat started bothering me really bad. I didn't know what was going on so I went to the hospital. Uvulitis, is what I was diagnosed with. It's crazy because I had never heard of uvulitis and nobody I knew had ever heard of uvulitis. Oh goodness, what did I do to deserve this? Then, I remembered I started juicing and used a few items that I had never used before. I was discouraged, and out of money from buying a juicer and a lot of fruits and vegetables. After I was healed I decided to try juicing again and only use ingredients that I had already tried before. The basics such as carrots, apples, beets, celery, watermelon, and other fruits and vegetables that did not bother my uvula. I was not prepared for the results. Although, I watched the movie and was motivated to try juicing I did not think that my results would be the same as everyone else's because my thyroid is not as active as it should be. (Hypothyroidism) Plus, I did not stop eating and only juice. I still wanted to chew some of my food. Well, last year I loss 52 lbs, and gained back some of the weight after I stopped juicing regularly and exercising as I was before. This year I am making a habit of juicing on a routine basis and exercising more. Like so many that start the New Year wanting to be healthier, smaller, and just a better individual I am on that bandwagon. I didn't set a New Year's resolution, but really a daily resolution to do better. I shared my experience with juicing because it may beneficial to some of you out there. Watch the movie- Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead! Let me know how juicing works for you, if you try it. What things are you doing this year to have a healthier body, lifestyle, and longer life expectancy? Do you already juice? If you already juice, please share some recipes. I attached a website for those who want to know the benefits of juicing. I sleep better, feel better, have more energy, breath better, and my skin makes me look like I am ten years younger than I actually am. Ok, not ten years, but five for certain. http://www.rebootwithjoe.com/juicing/benefits/
