Green juice Detox and Benefits


Green juices or green drinks are great for detoxifying. Green juices cleanse the body of pollutants and do have renewing, nourishing and rejuvenating effects on the body, green juices are rich in chlorophyll, which helps to purify the blood, build red blood cells, detoxify and heal the body---providing the body with fast rejuvenating energy. Green juices can be made from a variety of green vegetables like barley grass, wheat grass, cabbage, kale, spinach, alfalfa sprouts, dandelion greens and other green vegetables.
To sweeten green juices, you can add stevia, fresh carrots and apple juice. To lighten the strength adds steam distilled or purified water. Do not add artificial or commercial fruit juice to your fresh made green juice.

The bitter truth on Soda-sugar

Dr Lawrence Wilson M.D says Soda pop often contains up to 70 chemical additives such as flavors, colors, preservatives and others that are not required to be on the label.  It is also high in sugar, especially high fructose corn syrup, one of the worst sweeteners.  Other harmful sweeteners are dextrose, glucose, maltose, and other damaging sugars. The only sweeteners I recommend are xylitol, mannitol or a little stevia, an herb that is very sweet.  Even these should be minimized, however, as they too can contribute to blood sugar problems, although not nearly as much as the regular sugars, honey, maple syrup, agave nectar, and others. Soda is one of the main cause of obesity and diabetics in children and adults. Eliminate bad sugar such like High fructose corn syrup, sucrose, artificial sweeteners found in fast food dipping sauce (bronco), syrup, candies, cookies, drinks, shakes etc, become more active by exercising (avoid living sedentary a life).












   Healthy sugar for your family

Bye-bye to refined sugar and toxic artificial sugar

Stevia is the world’s only all natural sweetener with zero calories, zero carbohydrates and a zero glycemic index. Harvested from a plant in the daisy family, stevia provides a truly delicious and healthy alternative to refined sugar or chemical/artificial sweeteners. The sweet part of the stevia herb is extracted and converted into an intensely sweet powder. This sweet powder is then blended with other all-natural ingredients to create a delicious and healthy sweetener.
STEVITA


Native people in Paraguay and other parts of South America have used stevia safely for centuries. This herbal sweetener is gradually finding its way into the homes of millions around the world. More recently Stevia gained popularity as a sweetener for coffees and teas, but it can sweeten just about anything you like. Because it works so well in cooking and baking, you can easily substitute refined sugar for stevia in just about any recipe.

Since stevia has zero calories, zero carbohydrates and a zero glycemic index, it is perfect for individuals who prefer not to have their blood glucose levels fluctuate at rapid levels. This includes those with diabetes, hypo/hyperglycemia and anyone looking to maintain a healthy lifestyle. The glycemic index is used to measure how fast food will raise your blood glucose level. Choosing foods that produce zero fluctuations in blood glucose is an important component for long-term health because it help reduce your risk of heart disease and diabetes. By helping you reduce your calorie intake and glycemic index, stevia can be a significant contributor to any healthy weight loss plan, because stevia has detox properties. Stevia leaves contain numerous all-natural nutrients that help regulate blood sugar, including chromium, magnesium, manganese, potassium, selenium, zinc, and vitamin B3(Niacin) therefore it is an ideal sugar for diabetics.
