8 ways to naturally reduce inflammation - August 24, 2014
Chronic cellular inflammation is one of our biggest enemies
in terms of achievin
g optimal health. In fact, many health experts say that inflammation is the root
cause of disease. In addition, the psychological (and emotional) stress of livi
ng in modern society can actually lower our ability to regulate the inflammatory r
esponse.
Naturally, the question we ought to ask ourselves is, what causes inflammation? An
d, the obvious answer is poor nutrition and too many toxins which creates an ove
rly-acidic condition in the body. So, which foods create an acidic environment
in the body?
Here are the top 5 foods that trigger inflammation
Unnatural coffee
Conventionally-produced alcohol
which actually contain GMO ingredients
Processed, simple sugars
Factory-farmed, animal foods
again, loaded with unwanted chemicals and GMOs
Most sodas (even if they contain natural sugars
without the neurotoxin, aspartame)
You ought to know that the most recent research is pointing towards the fact tha
t inflammation may be responsible for: type-2 diabetes, obesity, cancer, heart d
isease, stroke, Alzheimer s disease, Parkinson s disease, fibromyalgia, multiple scl
erosis, rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.
How can we reduce inflammation in the body?
In my opinion, from my years of teaching the value of juicing, one of the most e
ffective ways, is by juicing dark leafy greens with highly alkaline vegetables t
o accompany them.
A more long term and effective way, combined with juicing, to reduce cellular in
flammation is to make the decision to live a simpler lifestyle which includes: r
emoving yourself from toxic relationships; learning the art of forgiveness; and
being of service to others. After all, our psychological (and emotional) wellbe
ing is intimately connected to our physical health.
In terms of dietary/lifestyle changes, here are 8 ways to naturally reduce infla
mmation:
Add some fresh ginger root and turmeric root (curcumin) to your daily juice or me
als.
Consume adequate amounts of essential fatty acids
not from animal sources.
Eat probiotic-rich foods like, kimchi, sauerkraut or miso soup.
Stay hydrated with pure, clean water and try adding some fresh lemon juice.
Be sure to include lots of leafy greens in your salad.
Get lots of sunshine and relax
as much as possible.
Drink green juices
click here for some recipe ideas.
Eat grapefruits, lemons and limes
which are alkalizing. (once they reach the gut)
Here s an anti-inflammatory juice that serves 1, 1 liter
The ingredients include, 2 cups parsley; 2 cups spinach; 2 large cucumbers; 4 ri
bs celery; 1 inch fresh ginger root or fresh turmeric root; and 1 lime without s
kin or 1 lemon without skin (unless it s organic)
If I may add, don t forget these important recommendations:
I recommend this tonic daily (1 liter) per person daily for 60 days along with e

ating a diet high in salads. Keep in mind, 20% of your diet can have other more
acidifying foods.
Having said that, I have found
for best results
that eating essential fatty acid
s from foods like, flax seed or borage oils in salads, with lots of vegetables a
nd some grains such as quinoa or millet tend to be better than eating lots of an
imal flesh foods.
Plus, don t forget to keep yourself well-hydrated and add the other recommendation
s. You will be pleasantly surprised to see just how well your body responds, eve
n after just one week.

The secret to making delicious green juices - February 3, 2014
Making green juice delicious is as easy as what I call using the magic 3
and boy a
re they magical. It s amazing just how much this simple little secret can change t
he way our taste buds react to dark green juice recipes. Believe it or not, even
your children will love green juices
if you make them correctly.
Okay, get your pen and paper out here s the easiest way to make those healthy gree
n juices come alive and taste spectacular!
Are you using the

Magic 3

in every green juice?

1. Use organic limes or lemons.

2. Add fresh mint. (spearmint and peppermint are the best tasting)
3. Don t forget organic apples or pears.*
*Note: We do not recommend adding any other fruit into the green juice combinati
ons because if you add too much fruit, you will mitigate any real value in absor
ption of nutrients, and especially the tonic then becomes less (by far) alkaline
, and most fruits are high in sugars.
If you use the following leafy and nutritious greens, then the magic 3 will dramat
ically improve the taste of your health beverage. Nutritionally speaking, the be
st greens to use are:
Kale, spinach, parsley, Swiss chard, collards, Turnip greens, Mustard greens, br
occoli, Romaine lettuces (red and green) and cabbage (green and/or red)
What is the best way to balance out my green juices?
Make 70% of your tonic made from any one of the top 10 greens.
Make 20% of your tonic made from these greens out of apples or pears.
Make 10% of your tonic made from these greens made out of lemons or limes. If yo
u leave the peel on the limes and/or lemons -this will make the tonic stronger.
If your produce is not organic, please never use the skin, but double up on the
lime and/or lemons because without the skin, they are not as potent. So, for exa

mple, if you are using 1 lime with skin, we say use 2 limes without the peel.
Sugars interfere with the healing power of the greens. So please take this into
consideration when you are juicing with fruits, other than apples. Apples are ne
utral and do not interfere with the oils from the vegetables
as most all fruits
are acid.
The whole idea is to absorb nutrients and to get the benefits of the high alkali
nity from these green juices. That s why we limit the sweetness to only 10% of the
tonic. Keep it down to 10% and you ll be fine, even if you want to add 10% of pin
eapple as the only sweetener. I don t recommend it, but if you must, then just do
the 10%.
However, you can add as much of the mint, into the tonics, as you like because t
hey are a leafy herb, rich in phytonutrients. Even the limes or lemons can be ex
tended to 20% if you have to, in the beginning to start to train your taste buds
to like the green juices. But I am asking you not to add too much fruit. A secr
et is to add more mint to the tonic if you are struggling along with a lime.
