Lemon Ginger Blast Juice

Ingredients 

• 3 Cucumbers (Leave skin on)
• 2-3 Packs-o-Celery (leaves n all or hearts don’t matter)
• 3 Lemons (Swap for limes/mix it up)
• 3-5 Green Apples (add any kind of apples/pears)
• 2-3 Bunches Cilantro
• 2-3 Bunches Parsley (Curley or Italian, whatever you like)
• 1 Inch Ginger
• 1 Inch Turmeric
• 1 Habanero (more or less to taste, experiment with other peppers for fun, or none if you hate them)
• 1Lb or so Grapes (if desired)
*Feel free to experiment with herbs such as dill, basil, lemon grass, lettuces, kales, spinach, carrots, beets, etc…

Directions

Cut everything into juiceable sizes.  This will depend on your specific juicer. 

Peel citrus!!!  I cut my citrus in half and juice it by hand with a squeezer or hand twister. 

Make sure to evenly disperse potent items such as the ginger, turmeric, and any spicy peppers. 

I use a large bowl to pour all of my juice in, squeeze my citrus in, then stir. 

If desired sift through a wire strainer or squeeze through a nut milk bag to remove excess pulp.  I prefer to just use a large pour strainer, and then a smaller poured strainer after.  I don't feel the need to remove all the pulp.

Unlocking the Life-Changing Effects of Juice Fasting

In our quest for optimal health and well-being, we often seek natural and effective methods to rejuvenate our bodies. Juice fasting is a transformative practice that offers a multitude of benefits, ranging from weight loss to improved hormonal balance. In this blog post, we will explore the life-changing effects of juice fasting and delve into the research-backed benefits it provides, including cleansing the gastrointestinal tract, weight loss, diabetes symptom regression, hormonal rebalance, increased libido, mental clarity, clear skin, increased energy, and decreased inflammation and chronic disease symptoms.

1. Cleansing the Gastrointestinal (GI) Tract:
Juice fasting allows the GI tract to take a break from processing solid foods, enabling it to cleanse and heal. By consuming nutrient-rich juices, the body receives essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants while giving the digestive system a chance to reset. This process can help eliminate toxins, promote healthy gut bacteria, and improve overall digestion.

2. Weight Loss:
One of the most sought-after benefits of juice fasting is its potential for weight loss. By replacing solid meals with nutrient-dense juices, individuals can reduce calorie intake while still obtaining essential nutrients. A study published in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine found that juice fasting can lead to significant weight loss, particularly in overweight individuals.

4. Hormonal Rebalance:
Imbalances in hormone levels can lead to various health issues, including mood swings, irregular periods, and fatigue. Juice fasting can support hormonal balance by providing the body with essential nutrients. A study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food found that juice fasting can positively influence hormonal levels, particularly in women.

By eliminating processed foods and providing the body with vital nutrients, juice fasting can support brain function and promote a radiant complexion.
