Wheatgrass Juice this morning

Now I remember why I like to juice wheat grass. It surely isn't for the taste or after taste, but it makes me feel better. About 10 days ago I decided to plant wheat and barley in some bins of dirt I have outside. I juiced it for the first time today. I combined the grasses and juiced a couple of apples with it. Wow, it was much better than the straight grass juice and I like it a lot. I like growing it out of doors. When winter comes I'll grow it inside but as long as i can grow it out there, why not. I know it is a great way to get the nutrients I need and juicers aren't that expensive. I will keep juicing wheat grass as long as I can grow it.

Vegetables for Juicing-part 2 C Vegetables

Vegetable juices are so good for soothing the nerves and to gently carry away toxic and accumulated waste matter. Raw Vegetable juices are good for many common health problems. Drink vegetable juice at least half an hour after meals. Follow the general rule to not drink vegetable juices before meals or with fruit juices.

Use these favorite vegetables for good health.

CABBAGE, both the red and white, are valuable ingredients in a salad but only in reasonable quantities, because the sulfur and chlorine content is high. Red cabbage has 50% more sulfur than white. White cabbage has about 65% more potassium, nearly ten times more iron and about three times as much silicon as the red cabbage. If not properly chewed, cabbage will cause gas, and if you combine cabbage with vinegar, salt, or sugar it can irritate the digestive tract.

CARROTS are one of our most complete foods. Finely grated pulp of raw carrots is one of the most soothing, efficient ways to heal a diseased colon. Raw carrots contain all the elements and all the vitamins that are required by the human body. This is not true of cooked carrots. Carrot juice is a good cleanser of bile and waste matter coagulated in the liver from years of wrong eating. If the skin becomes discolored, after drinking carrot and other juices, it is a result of coagulated bile in the liver dissolving so fast that sluggish kidneys and bowels were not able to take care of its elimination quickly enough, resulting in the lymph carrying this toxic matter out the pores of the skin. If this happened to me I would be grateful to have the cleanse going on rather than the alternative. Drinking raw carrot juice will bring relief to eyes and reduce fatigue resulting from working or driving in bright lights.

CAULIFLOWER is very good to eat raw. It is high in potassium, phosphorous and sulfur, and protein. Like other members of the cabbage family, it has the tendency to irritate the kidneys if you eat too much. It is nourishing and used sparingly is good for you.

CELERY, the stalks along with the green leaves should be used because in addition to very high sodium content they contain insulin. Celery, our best food for organic sodium chloride, has four plus times more organic sodium than calcium. This is why raw celery juice is a wonderful drink for hot weather. It provides organic salt which is much better for the body than inorganic salt. It helps with nerves, sleeplessness, and sobering a drunk. Eating too much starch leaves deposits of inorganic calcium in our bodies. When we eat celery the organic sodium in celery aids in maintaining the inorganic calcium in solution until at least some of it can be eliminated from the body before it accumulates and causes trouble. The high magnesium and iron content of celery is good for the blood cells.

Why We Need Raw Food, Especially Fruits and Vegetables

Did you know that from thirty to eighty-five percent of the nutrition in foods is destroyed in cooking? Did you know that fresh, raw foods contain the highest level of enzymes? Did you know that unless you supply enzymes for your body, the enzymes present at birth in your body will eventually run out and you will die of degenerative disease? Each of us receives a supply of enzymes at birth. This supply is not limitless; it must supply our bodies with life sustaining enzymes for our whole lives.

What are enzymes and why are they so important?

“An enzyme is a biocatalyst — something that makes something else work or work faster. Chemical reactions are generally slow things, enzymes speed them up. Without enzymes the chemical reactions that make up our life would be too slow for life as we know it. (As slow as sap running down a tree in winter). For life to manifest as we know it, enzymes are essential to speed up the reactions. We have roughly some 3000 enzymes in our bodies and that results in over 7000 enzymic reactions. Most of these enzymes derived or created from what we think of as the protein digesting enzymes. But while digestion is an important part of what enzymes do, it’s almost the absolute last function. First and foremost these body wide proteolytic (protein eating) enzymes have the following actions:

· Natural Anti-inflammatory

· Anti Fibrosis

· Blood Cleansing

· Immune System Modulating

· Virus Fighting”

William Wong N.D., Ph.D., Member World Sports Medicine Hall of Fame

Enzymes are needed for the digestion and absorption of foods as well as for the production of cellular energy. Enzymes are needed for most of the building and rebuilding that takes place constantly in our bodies. Metabolic enzymes are used by the heart, lungs, kidneys, immune system, and for brain functions; digestive enzymes convert protein, carbohydrates and fat into fuel to maintain our bodies. Requiring the body to supply digestive enzymes can reduce the supply of metabolic enzymes. Eventually, the body becomes enzyme-deficient, introducing weaknesses and disease. It is understandable that glands and major organs suffer most from enzyme deficiency.

We can prevent our bodies from depleting its own supply of enzymes by providing those enzymes in raw foods. Food enzymes will start the digestion process in the stomach, but if there are no food enzymes the body will have to produce enzymes for digestion and thereby deplete the supply of systemic enzymes.

Fresh, raw foods contain the highest level of enzymes. When we cook food it kills the enzymes, so we end up with dead food that will not replenish the enzymes we have used up in the body. From the time food is harvested the quality of the enzymes goes down. Enzymes are powerful biochemical catalysts, which speed burning or building reactions in the body according to our need. They are specialized proteins, often with long complicated names ending in -ase. Cooked food passes through the digestive tract more slowly than raw food, tends to ferment, and throws poisons back into the body. Colon cancer is second only to lung cancer as a killer in America and is related, in various ways, to eating enzyme-deficient cooked food.

"Following a strict vegetarian diet is not as important as eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables. A vegetarian whose diet is mainly refined grains, cold breakfast cereals, processed health-food-store products, vegetarian fast foods, white rice, and pasta will be worse off than a person who eats a little chicken or eggs, for example, but consumes a larger amount of fruits, vegetables, and beans."

Food Helps For A Healthy Body

My Cousin D sent this to me a year before he passed away. I just love it. I think whole food is the best way to go for good health. There are some people who don't believe in the creation and all that it means, but I do.

GOD first separated the salt water from the fresh, made dry land, planted a garden, made animals and fish... all before making a human. HE made and provided what we would need before we were born. These are best, and more powerful when eaten raw.

GOD left us a great clue as to what foods help what part of our body!

A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye... and YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.

A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food.

Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.

A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.

Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys. Note: Parsley is good for the kidneys.

C elery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23 % sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you do not have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.

Avocados, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).

Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility. Note: bananas and cucumbers are also good for the male genitals.

Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics. Note: Cinnamon is also good for balancing blood sugar.

Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries. Note: Pomegranets are good for the ovaries also.

Oranges, Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female, and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.

Onions look like the body's cells. Today's research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body. Note: Pineapple is also good for the cells and the skin of the pineapple looks like cells look under a microscope.

Note: The juice of a potato is good for lung and bronchial problems.

Lemons are good to help the liver and clean out toxins.
