Rotate fruit/vegetable juices intake for best results

To maintain and promote optimum health, our bodies need adequate amounts of the following:

Essential amino acids
Vitamins
Minerals
Enzymes
Essential fatty acids
Carbohydrates
Fiber
Water

We need all these sufficiently, constantly, and variedly in order to help accelerate and enhance the process of restoring nutrients to your nutrient-starved tissues.
When we regularly eat a mixed-variety of these fruits and vegetables, the vitamins, minerals, enzymes and all the abundance of health-building elements from these juices work together in a synergy. The results of these combinations on your health can be simply amazing!
While we may not get all the above-mentioned essentials from fruits/vegetables alone, there are some other healing foods that you may add to your dietary to ensure balance.
Some suggestions of other healing foods that you can add to your dietary:

Protein powder: I do not agree in getting protein from milk. Consider taking protein powder which contains glutamine, an amino acid which plays an important role in protein metabolism.

Cod liver or fish oil: The green vegetable juices that you drink is abundant with vitamin K which helps to "stick" the calcium to your bone matrix. But, in order for this to happen, you need some fats (from cod liver or fish oil) to assist with the vitamin K absorption.
Chlorella and spirulina: Fruits and vegetables contain very little or no vitamin B. You may add chlorella and/or spirulina in tablet/powder form as a supplement. These two algae have very high content of vitamin B.

Seeds and nuts: Many seeds and nuts contain protein and fat that is needed to fuel the body. They also contain important amino acids for the brain and the immune system. These can be eaten as they are, or ground and blended with your juices.

  1. In terms of Essential Fatty Acids, EFAs, try Dr Udo's Oil 3/6/9 Blend. It is available in liquids or capsules (great for travel). It is a little pricey BUT WORTH IT.

    My husband and I LOVE the liquid oil - put some in our fresh juice, Spiruteen protein shake or we top with a little parmesan then dip pieces of artisan bread in it. It takes that great! Has a pleasant, nutty, buttery taste and comes in DHA or high Lignan blends. A very good thing to get addicted to.

    Go to www.florahealth.com and search for "Udo's Oil 3 6 9 Blend"

    The Spiruteen protein powder also has lots of Spirulina in it too!
