Juicing One's Way to Better Health

I'm not a picky eater when it comes to fruits and vegetables... until I came across to brussel sprouts one day and I try not to look back how it tasted. Growing up, my family has taught me to love to eat fish, fruits and vegetables. We eat as little meat as we can in our diet and indulge ourselves with other sources like eggs, milk and beans for protein. However, my brother has his own way of thinking when it comes to food, so let's all just say, everyone has their own preference.

I've always wanted to juice my fruits and vegetables when in comes to overall health. I've heard so much benefits that I immediately had to use this juicer my parents bought for months now. They say they didn't had the time, but I try to change what my parents think about juicing so I bought lots of fresh produce and got them to try it. I am glad they joined the bandwagon and hopefully they continue their journey to juicing.

Since it's my first time, I've searched websites for recipes; what I needed to know; and/or what to experience in my first day of juicing. I was a little dizzy on the first day because I doubled the amount of beets in the recipe. LOL! Next few days, I tweaked the recipe, and slowly, my body finally got the hang of it. I feels so good to juice these produce in the morning.

That is ME in the reflection.

My family and I are first time juicers. I don't know how much my mom bought it months ago, but from the website, it says it's on sale for $89.99. We juice our way to health and it extracts every produce we add inside. It is a simple, stainless steel and easy to clean machine. It's been officially a week since we started juicing, and it makes me excited to wake up in the morning when the stomach is still empty and ready to absorb these nutrients and vitamins. We start preparing these fresh produce we bought at the market such as kale, spinach, carrots, oranges, apples, a piece of ginger, celery, cucumber, beets, and chard -- all in there to amp one's veggie and fruit intake for the day! YUP! ALL OF THEM! Awesome awesome product!

We just eyeball how many we want to add in the juicer and we drink it immediately! You can't let these nutrients wait forever! Then, wait at least 30 minutes to an hour to eat heavy meal if we still feel hungry. But most of the time, I just don't feel that hungry after drinking the juice. I drink water or tea throughout the day to detox. I don't drink soda since high school. We drink at least a glass of the juice a day. We do not replace every meal with juice; we still eat solid food.

Fresh juice at home is better! You just know it's fresh, natural without the unnecessary sugars packed that our body does not need.
