Day 7 of 60

Hi Deonne,

I found some great info on  Fitnea.com. I only pasted the fruits and veges we might use for juicing, but they have info on a lot of fruits and veges.

Avocados - Do you love avocados so much you would put slices of them on just about any food you eat? There’s no reason to feel guilty about doing this, especially because this is such a great food for you to eat. Avocados are packed full of antioxidants, including glutathione. This detoxes the body by transporting harmful toxins right out of it. By reducing the chemicals and toxins in your body you will be healthier and feel better.

Cranberries - These might be great for preventing urinary tract infections, but they can also get rid of toxins inside of your body. These get rid of waste from the body and are antibacterial so they remove toxins.

Lemons – These are great in drinks and recipes, but they are also packed full of vitamins and antioxidants. These protect the liver and they get rid of chemicals inside of the body. Consuming lemons on a regular basis can improve health.

Garlic – Packed full of sulfur, this is another great food to use for body cleanses. It also has antibiotic properties so it can help internally heal your body. There are a lot of advantages to eating garlic on a regular basis; it’s even available in supplement form!

Beets – These can be incorporated into a lot of different recipes or they can be eaten raw. They are full of betaine and pectin, which help protect the liver and the digestive system. These can cleanse the body so you have fewer toxins.

Grapefruit – This fruit helps cleanse the digestive system and it can prevent kidney stones from developing. It’s also low in natural sugars and calories, so it’s great for dieting.

Other Goodies - Look what I found out about coconut oil, holy cow! I am adding this to my juice recipes.  It helps with weight loss, IBS (M has that), and fights wrinkles! Also, Coconut oil contains the type of triglycerides we need for instant energy when exercising. This would be great on runs or long bike rides. :) Also, this one will interest you - it works like Neosporin on a cut! It helps the wound heal and kills bacteria. I am going to go to Majestic Mountain Sage next time I visit you. I love that store. 

I just found this site, Fitnea, it's full of information on different foods and their benefits. I love info like this. I'll post more goodies when I find them.  

How's your juicing going? How's the man-fast? I am proud of you for taking a dating break. It was the best thing I could have done the first year after I was divorced. Men are fantastic people, I am rather imparshal (I live with 3 of them). But it's important to be grounded and inlove with yourself before focusing on someone else.
