Starting my Juicing days -Day 1

Oh Oh,is it that time again. I am so glad that Winter is ending and Spring is beginning. The weather may not feel so much like so here in the Pacific Northwest but we have too many rainy days and this gets real old real fast. I am spending my beginning days with myself by taking it easy and see what happens. I have been eating raw food with vegan meals too, but my passion is to become a full raw eating human being. This is a testimonial to myself. I think Vegan seems to be much easier although I will be concentrating on my ever day and every meal putting nothing but tea, broth, juicing into my body and take 1 day at at a time. Today I sipped on a juice made from :




beetroot and greens,broccoli,kale,romaine,cucumber,celery,lemon,ginger.And check this out I have been making rejuvalac with winter wheat berries:
Now what I do is make rejuvalac and put in into the refrigerator,then what I do is  add rejuvalac into my juice and my water at about 1/4 C  2-3 times per day times a per day. If I don't wake up to 32 of oz. spring water with lemon or ACV, then I add rejuvalac into my morning water. And I must say I really like this every morning. Switching out the rejuvalac, for lemon,or the ACV makes each day good, and I don't get boring tasting the same old lemon water every AM.Some mornings I will actually start with Wheatgrass then wait 1 hour before having my first juice of the day.

14 th day of Juicing......


Two weeks baby. Yes, it's been 2 weeks since I started my juicy adventure. I never had any idea how great the body can feel when feeding one's self such nutritionally balanced fruits and vegetables in the liquid form. I have always loved juicing,but never had any idea what a natural high I have going on inside of me. It's so insane that I am actually loving each and every moment on this journey, and having no boredom. Is a matter of fact each day is exciting to me because I have somewhat planned what will be made each day ahead for 3 days in advance. I also think this is necessary,since I bought vegetables and fruits yesterday and need to know what will be made to keep me nourished.
This is such a mind thing that is happening. Each and every moment is psychological. I found myself on the toilet crying with thanks because I am doing something I have always wanted to do and that something was juice feasting. Yes crying,I know a detox thing ,OK I accept that answer, and I bet it is a true fact. I also had a tiny little rash appear on my left side of my neck. I have 2 pimples on my face and I can't wait until they disappear. Normally I have a clear complexion, but not at this moment.

I am finding that every day I am exploring different vegetables in a different light. I want to know WHY each vegetable is a benefit to our body. Today I wanted to explore Spinach.


Health Benefits of Spinach




  • Spinach is loaded with phyto-nutrients that have disease prevention properties
  • It's very low in calories and fat (100G of raw spinach leaves provide just 23 cals), and contains about 25% of our daily intake of iron
  • Fresh leaves are a rich source of anti-oxidants like vitamin A and Flavonoid anti-oxidants like beta- carotene
  • Vitamin A is required for maintaining healthy mucus membranes and skin, and is essential for our vision
  • 100 g of spinach provides 40% of daily Vitamin K .Vitamin K plays a vital role in strengthening bone mass by providing osteotrophic ( bone building) activity in the bone.Vitamin K also helps with Alzheimer's disease by limiting neuronal damage in the brain
  • This green vegetable also contains good amounts of B- complex vitamins like Vitamin B-6,Thiamine, folates, niacin and vitamin C
  • Spinach leaves also contain a good amount of minerals like potassium,manganese,magnesium,copper and zinc. Potassium is an important component of cell and body fluids that help control heart rate and blood pressure. Copper is required in the production of our red blood cells. Zinc is an enzyme that regulates growth and development and aids in digestion
  • Spinach is also a rich source omega -3 fatty acid
