I know it has been a little while since I've posted, but I have been super busy with some really important stuff.
Anyway- yesterday I watched this awesome documentary called "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead." about this guy Joe who is fed up with his Fat and Sick lifestyle, and decides that he will go on a Juice Fast for 60 days to better his life.
It was an inspirational documentary and got me thinking about juicing. I've wanted my own juicer for awhile now, so I'm buying one on Amazon. ( I have a boatload of giftcards for Amazon anyway, so I figured now's the time!)
I also started researching why these juice fasts actually work. Part of the reason is that, as American's, our food intake is Highly Acidic. This plays into factors of:
1) Needing over the counter and perscription Acid Reflux, Acid Control meditcation.
2) Draws nutrients out of our essential nutrients such as Calcium, to regulate our system.
and 3) Assists in slow metabolisms, low energy, and weight gain.
This Video: is super informative, and if you don't understand how acidity plays a role in your body, it really breaks it down like you're a kindergartener ;)
Enjoy!
