FORWARD

Juicing is becoming very popular in society these days as

people in general have a greater awareness as to the

benefits of juicing. It is often said by those who do it that

they look and feel so much better for it.

Then, on the other hand there are those amongst us who

would do juicing a bad turn by claiming that “It is no good

for us!” Sadly I fear it is because they have been

misinformed about the whole subject.

It is one that I hold very close to my heart ever since my

accident. Just in case you did not read the site properly I

will very briefly tell you my story -

http://naturallyloseit.org

I was 28 when the worst luck was set to befall me. I was

pottering about in the garden when whhoopp suddenly

and out of nowhere I slipped on a pool of wet soil and

smashed my head on the edge of a low wall. Right on the

corner.

I knocked myself out and to cut a long story short I awoke

13.5 weeks later in a hospital bed. I knew right away that I

had done something terrible but had no clue about the

time that had elapsed.

I spent a further 2 years in rehabilitation care where they

basically encouraged me to walk again as I could no longer

http://naturallyloseit.org/

walk and was confined to a wheel chair. This was due to

the surgery I had removing two blood clots from my brain.

To make matters worse I could no longer move my right

arm much at all and it served no practical use what so ever.

Finally after living under my sisters roof for 8 months I was

provided with my own flat in which I still reside.

Slowly I began to pile on the weight which was due to the

inactivity I faced, living, as I did, in my wheel chair every

waking hour.

Over a 3 year period I went from a modest 11 stone.(156

lbs) to a great big 16 stones and 3 lbs (227 lbs) I was

horrified by the weight that I had become and so I vowed

to do something about it.

CHAPTER 1

THIS IS WHERE JUICING PLAYED A CRUCIAL PART

Now some people have a problem with juicing based on

the fact that they do not understand anything about it and

its benefits. You can add practically any fruits or vegetables

to create the juice of your choice. And we all know that

vegetables are good for us yes?

Now you will find in this book the information needed to

select different mixes for different benefits. With the

hundreds and hundreds of different juicing recipes that are

available to you, you will be sure to find one for Yourself

that you really like so that you will repeatedly make it over

and over again, topping up on all the vitamins* and

minerals* that the body ideally needs.

After you begin to start juicing it really will not take very

long to start noticing improvements in both the way you

look and feel. Your skin and hair will noticeably improve

whilst your mood in general will be a lot brighter and you

will feel so much less irritable.

This is not to mention the decrease in weight you you will

most definitely be undergoing. You too can take advantage

of the benefits that juicing will bring you just as I have, and

following this are going to be some amazing healthy fruits.

CHAPTER 2

Many people are under the incorrect asumption that

juicing is just some craze and the “fad” will soon die out,

but as you will see in the fruits that follow there are just

too many vitamins* and minerals* to be gained from

drinking them for it to be just a craze. How can something

so healthy be only temporary. If you want to improve your

health on a regular basis then juicing is most definitely the

way to go on.

The more that people learn about juicing then the more

they will want to take up this hobby that is incredibly

beneficial for not only your physical appearance but for

your mental state of mind as well.

As long as we stay away from these sugary drinks that are

NO GOOD FOR US then with the aid of these healthy drinks

we will live a longer, more fruitful and happier life.

Fruit and vegetables as we know are immensley full of

nutritional elements. A juicer is nothing less than a way to

turn all of these nutrients* from a solid form into that of a

liquid one.

And so its major advantage has to be that you are still

ingesting all of the nutrients* that the body so desires but

in liquid form.

Making a juice for yourself, I'm sure you would agree is far

easier, and, happens to be much quicker than the time

taken in preparing and then cooking food, when you can

just do a quick juice and most probably get more goodness

from it anyway.

CHAPTER 3

JUICING FOR WEIGHT LOSS

Why not just eat fruit and vegetables I hear you say. Well it

is not really the practical option to do so as the amount of

nutrients* required by the body that are provided in just

one juice is such that a massive amount of the delicious

ingredients would have to be consumed. An impossible

amount in fact.

Even though I endorse eating healthily it seems far easier

to me to just drink a juice and have done rather than

preparing and cooking the food stuff.

With all of the bodies vitamins* and minerals* taken in you

are far less likely to feel hungry as the body will feel less

obliged to look for these in further food sources. So when

you eat less of the bad stuff you lose weight, FACT .

And the body will be more balanced on account of it having

received plenty of its required vitamins*and minerals*.

Please remember you only have one life and you only have

this one body! Therefore the body should be taken care of,

no doubts. This is where, as I have previously stated,

juicing comes into play.

CHAPTER 4

SOME DELICIOUS JUICES

Further on in this Ebook are some delightful 100% healthy

recipes for you to try out at your leisure. They will contain a

variety of ingredients all of which contain those very

valuable minerals* and nutrients* which we really do need

in order for us to perform at our optimum level of

efficiency. I say valuable because in an ideal world our

body is meant to contain these vitamins* and minerals*

but most of todays foodstuffs are severly lacking in them.

Nothing quite beats that feeling of consuming something

that you prepared, right? I guess it is just like cooking? Well

you can soak up all that is required and gain the

satisfaction of knowing that you did it.

First of all

HERE IS A SIMPLE ONE TO START YOU OFF...THE CARBEET.

THE CARBEET

The ingredients

TWO WHOLE BEETROOTS

4 FULL CARROTS

HALF A WHOLE LEMON

HALF OF A THUMB SIZED PIECE OF GINGER

Top up to the amount you want with fresh still or

sparkling water.

This is just a very easy one to make for your first attempt.

The beetroot is an amazing food as it contains a particular

kind of nitrate which is excellent for managing/regulating

and even lowering your blood pressure should it be high.

The carrot is another fantastic food stuff indeed. We have

all heard when we were a child that carrots help you to see

better right, there's actually truth to be taken from that. It

contains a quantities of something called Beta- Carotene*

Now the liver converts this into vitamin A* which in turn is

converted by the retina to Rhodopsin* which is responsible

for your night vision. You see I bet you never new any truth

existed behind that childhood saying?

THE PARADISO

The ingredients

HALF OF A PINEAPPLE

4 STAR FRUITS

1 LARGE BEETROOT (OR 3 SMALL ONES)

4 ORANGES

TOP UP WITH SPARKLING OR STILL WATER FOR ANY

EXTRA AMOUNT.

It is said the Star fruit is responsible for lowering

cholesterol*. They also hydrate and give a consistency to

your faeces. The leaves of the plant are used in treating

headaches and chicken pox.

The Pineapple has been thought for a long time to possibly

aid in the shrinking of certain types of tumours when it is

ingested, as it contains Bromelain* (which is also a good

dietary supplement) and it is reported to aid in the

digestion process as well. It is also a great antioxidant* and

it also helps to aid the immune system.

It also contains a lot of the vitamin B* Thiamin as well as

the mineral Manganese*. This is very important for the

body as it helps with energy production and antioxidant*

defences.

The “pina” or pineapple as it is more commonly known has

too many benefits to list including many minerals* and

vitamins*. But just know that this juice is exceptionally

healthy for your physical well being.

You really will feel like you are in paradise when you are

drinking this juice. It is so delicious and is absolutely ideal

for a lovely hot summers day.

CHAPTER 5

FRUITS AND THERE BENEFITS

For chapter 5 I'll give you the medical positives of 15 fruits

and let you decide which ones you wish to try. You are sure

to find a delicious combination and if/when you forget

their health benefits simply return to this Ebook.

FRUIT NUMBER 1

Bananas

Technically these should not be on the list because they are

not made for juicing. I added them because they are very

very beneficial to us and they take pride of place. They are

in first for this reason.

They are absolutely loaded with the vitamins C*, K* and

B6*. However the majority of the vitamin K* can be found

right down in the tip of the banana and I for one used to

throw that not so pleasant bit away. Not any more.

They are an amazing food for the body in 3 major ways.

They are a very high food source of the mineral potassium*

which can help to regulate blood pressure* and in doing so

reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes in people.

FRUIT NUMBER 2

Cranberries

Well for one thing they are red and red as we should know

by now signifies one thing for certain. They are a rich

source of, yes you guessed it, Antioxidants*. They are also

a very rich source of the vitamins E*, C* and K*.

They provide you with a large amount of inflammatory

benefits which includes from the mouth all the way down

to the colon. The anti inflammatory properties of these

little red gems are also great for your heart health as it can

help to reduce stress on the heart and keep the blood

vessels around it healthy.

They also contain something called Resveratrol* which is

widely known in the anti ageing field of study and is

thought of as a major benefit.

Yet again another benefit of this lovely food is their ability

to hinder the cold and flu (Cold like) symptoms which we

have all suffered from at one time.

A final benefit is their super ability in fighting urinary tract

infections as most women will tell you. They are a great

preventitive measure against thrush and such like!

FRUIT NUMBER 3

Lemons and Limes

Lemons and limes are full of antioxidants* which are of

particular benefit to us humans as they aid in the fight

against certain cancers. These being mouth, colon, skin,

stomach and lung. A really big benefit.

Lemons and limes are available to you all year round so it

really doesn't matter what time of the year you want to

start your juicing with these fruits.

With the cancer fighting properties these contain they

actually stop and disrupt the cancers cell division which in

turn stops the evil disease from spreading.

Lemons and limes are also a very good source of vitamin

C* for you. This as we me or may not know is one of the

most important antioxidants in all of nature. Vitamin C* is

water - soluble and has been proven to treat some of the

symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Two

very painful and mobility limiting ailments.

FRUIT NUMBER 4

Prunes

Prunes although not the most pleasant of subjects, are an

excellent reliever of constipation. They are what is

considered to be called a mild laxative.

The reason being is that they contain masses of fibre* and

something called Sorbitol* is present, and the natural

laxative compound called Diphenyl Isatin*. They work well

all the way up and down the digestive tract and can help it

run at its optimum rate.

These do contain some calories but they “dried plums” also

contain type 2 diabetes* and cancer fighting properties.

Prunes along with actual plums can also help lower your

cholesterol*. They do this by absorbing all of the excess bile

in the intestine which is then excreted.

They are also a fantastic source of the vitamin K* and Beta

Carotene* and when these two are combined they serve

the body well in the anti - ageing process.

FRUIT NUMBER 5

Blueberries

Blueberries are the number 1 deliverer of antioxidants* in

the fruit world. Although they are practically lacking in

fibre* they are only 35 calories* which is very good when

using a lot for your healthy juice as they will not add to

your weight.

There have been tests done that show that blueberries

reduce the risk of ageing diseases like Parkinson's* and

Alzheimer's* disease. This is very positive indeed.

Yet another great positive about blueberries is that they

are not affected by the freezing process and can therefore

be frozen for up to a whole year. If you haven't got the

room to store them then fear not as frozen blueberries can

be purchased all year round.

FRUIT NUMBER 6

Cherry

A cherry weighs in a just 46 calories. It contains some

fibre*, Folate* and Potassium*. There is the antioxidant

Anthocyanin to be found in these fruits. It contains more of

this strong antioxidant than any other fruit in existence.

It is especially good at decreasing the pain levels in

sufferers of gout and arthritis. (Ailments) So why not add

them to your diet as a preventative measure for later life.

As we are aware cherries have a distinctive deep red colour

and this comes from flavanoids* which are one of the most

powerful antioxidants*.

FRUIT NUMBER 7

Avocado

Now the avocado is a good provider of fibre* and it

contains a lot of vitamin E*. Now it does contain fat but

fear not it is a harmless one. In fact it could be classed as a

good fat. Details can be found on the website that is

provided for you. website http://naturallyloseit.org ) It is a

mono - unsaturated fat* and these fats are as I said, good

fats. These fats can actually help to lower cholesterol*

levels in the body.

They are considered to be one of the most healthy fruits on

earth as they contain 25 essential vitamins and minerals.

They contain the vitamins A*,B*,C*,E*and K*.

With this fruit containing vitamin E* is is very healthy for

the heart. It contains Glutathione* ( a vitamin E)

They also contains an amount of Sitosterol* which can help

bring the bloods cholesterol* level down too.

Avocados are also fantastic for regulating blood pressure*

on account of the fact that they contain potassium*.


FRUIT NUMBER 8

Blackberry

Each seed that makes up a blackberry adds a little extra

pectin* and dietary fibre to the nutritional value of these

great foodstuffs.

As they are made up of lots and lots of little drupelets*

and each one of them contains a seed it means that this

food is one of the highest natural fibre providers on earth.

This helps to make them one of my top fruits for juicing.

Pectin* is a water soluble fibre and can help prevent

against various forms of cancer not least the prostrate.

It is also a useful anti – inflammatory as well as that fact

that it fights the good fight against cholesterol*.

FRUIT NUMBER 9

Apple

The humble apple is widely eaten amongst us but I bet you

weren't aware of some of the benefits that this delicious

fruit has to offer us?

Apples too are full of pectin*. And, now, although brushing

your teeth is still very much recommended eating apples

does stimulate the production of saliva and this in turn

helps to fight tooth decay. So in other words eating apples

is great for your teeth.

They are also believed to aid in the prevention of the onset

of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases.

As well as this massive benefit it curbs many forms of

cancers*. A major plus for eating these is especially the

reduction of those people tested that went on to develop

pancreatic cancer*.

FRUIT NUMBER 10

Grapes

These are a very very popular fruit and the contain lots and

lots and lots of vitamins* and minerals*. It is obvious that

is why so many of us include them in our diets. Some

varieties contain edible seeds and some do not.

Grapes contain an amount of resveratol too and as we

know it is great for anti ageing and really is one of the

most powerful antioxidants.

Excluding wine making of course they also come in the

forms of sultanas and raisins. These two really should not

be juiced. And mixing wine with various other fruits really

does not make for a nice juice at all.

Another great thing about the grape is that it contains zero

cholesterol. They also contain Anthocyanins* which is yet

another powerful antioxidant. These are present in the red

grape.

Catechins* which are another antioxidant are also present.

They are found in the green grape variety. They are known

to have very favourable health protecting benefits.

FRUIT NUMBER 11

Pomegranate

The pomegranate has been classed as an actual super

food. Very healthy for you. (remove seeds before blending

but juicing is alright obviously) Unless you don't mind

drinks with bits in.

The fruit is on the moderate side of calories contained and

it is a really good source of soluble and insoluble dietary

fibres*

Nutritionist actually suggest the use of this fruit in weight

loss attempts and in attempts to control your level of

cholesterol.

It serves you well giving some protection to cancer and it

can also improve the individuals circulation*!

There are also certain compounds such as Grenatin B* and

Punicalagin* that are contained within this great fruit that

can reduce the risk of heart disease by getting rid of the

evil free radicals* from the human body.

FRUIT NUMBER 12

Pears

Pears, yet another amazing healthy fruit on my list to try. It

is the best of both words. In its solid state it is as crunchy as

an apple but as juicy as the orange. In liquid form you get

the delicious taste and all of its goodness.

Your optimum level of health can be taken up to a new

level when you begin to ingest these fruits on a regular

basis. They are full of dietary fibre*, vitamins* and

minerals*. It is thought by certain health professionals that

taking pears on a regular basis can help to protect you

from cancer* of the colon*.

They contain good amounts of vitamin C* and moderate

amount of vitamin A*, B* and Beta Carotene*. (To which I

have previously alluded too.)

They are also a good source of the minerals magnesium*,

potassium*, copper*, and Iron* as well as some B –

complex vitamins*.

FRUIT NUMBER 13

Grapefruit

The delicious grapefruit is a really good fruit to serve up in

your juices. Not only does it taste great but it is very rich in

Vitamin A* and that Beta – Carotene*.

It is really really low in calories but it is very rich in pectin*.

This dietary fibre helps to bind the cancer causing

substances in the colon* too.

Vitamin A* is essential in helping to produce the mucus

membrane in the skin.

It is also an excellent source of vitamin C* as with most

fruits. This contains a lot. It also contains another powerful

antioxidant called Lycopene* which helps to protect us

from the harmful ultra – violet rays of the sun and offers up

some protection against prostrate cancer*.

This is a really good fruit as are the others to have in your

juices.

FRUIT NUMBER 14

Apricot

My goodness this truly is one of my favourite fruits and I

cannot begin to tell you how thrilled I am to include this in

my top 15 fruits to put in a juicer drink.

These truly scrumptious fruits are rich in minerals, dietary

fibre, vitamins, antioxidants*, vitamin A* and Beta –

Carotene*.

The minerals* that they contain are zinc*, manganese*,

potassium*, calcium* and iron*. All very important for the

body but often they are neglected. Bringing your juicing to

the table ensures that you ingest plenty of these minerals*.

They are excellent in the prevention of macular

degenerative disease* further on in life.

So try introducing them to some one you know who is

advancing in his/Her years. Juicing would be a great way to

include this amazing fruit in your/Their diet.

FRUIT NUMBER 15

GooseBerries

These berries are grown in the temperate climate of some

of Europe. They too are very very low in the calorie

department They are a moderate supplier of vitamin C*

and carry small amounts of vitamin A*.

When they are eaten or drank fresh they will contain some

vitamin B's* which the body will absorb in order to

replenish its levels of, as it has to get this from external

sources.

On the next page I will draw my conclusions as to why you

should partake in juicing to improve health. This will be

followed by 5 great tasty recipes for you to try at home.

Enjoy !!!

CHAPTER 6

“horrible” vegetables.So getting them to eat their share of

fruits and greens will not be an issue. Problem solved.


Be careful though to make sure you balance your juicing.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS

The following will explain the asterixed words to you-

VITAMINS - There are two types of these. Fat soluble

and water soluble. They are an organic compound and a

vital nutrient that organisms require in limited amounts.

When the body cannot synthesize it in enough quantities it

really needs to be gained from either supplements, the

right foods or JUICES.

FAT SOLUBLE VITAMINS - Fat soluble vitamins can

be found in many fatty foodstuffs such as oily fish, vegetableoil and dairy products. The fast soluble vitamins are A,D,Eand K.

WATER SOLUBLE VITAMINS - Water solublevitamins are not stored by the human body so they need tobe acquired more frequently. Should you ingest to many ofthese then fear not as the body will just pass the exessaway when urination takes place. Generally these watersoluble vitamins are not considered as harmful.

MINERALS - What a mineral is, is a naturally occuring

substance. It is solid and inorganic. It is usually abiogenic.

This means it does not result from the activity of other

living organisms. The minerals that are considered

essential for us humans are –

• Magnesium

• Calcium

• Sodium

• Sulphur

• Potassium

• Chlorine

• Phosphorous

• Chromium

• Iron

• Zinc

• Cobalt

• Iodine

• Copper

• Selenium

NUTRIENTS - There are nutritional componants to food

that we need to grow and indeed survive.The nutrients

that you will get more of from these healthy juices will

help not only to build but also repair the bodies

tissue.They also assist the body in regulating its processes

and they are converted to and used for energy. A

shortage of any kind of nutrient is called a deficiency.

BETA - CATOTENE - It is a very good and safe source of

vitamin A* The difference between food based Beta

Carotene and supplemented Beta Carotene is that with

the food based the body only absorbs as much as it

needs. It is a great antioxidant*. Some food sources that

are rich in Beta Carotene are -

Apricots

Asparagus

Brocoli

Sweet potato

Plums

Onions

Peppers

Pumpkin

Spinach

Squash

Peas

Ketchup

Chives

Carrots

Grapefruit

ANTIOXIDANT - An Antioxidant is a substance that

restricts the oxidisation of molecules (this is where they

come into contact with oxygen) They also protect the body

from the damage caused by Free Radicals* which if left to

ravage the body on their own can cause several serious

illnesses. So now you see why these Antioxidants are so

important.

FREE RADICALS - These atoms are believed to accelerate

the progression of Cardio vascular disease (heart disease),

cancer and age related illneses. Fundamentaly your body

does not need or want these as they are unstable and as a

result ricochet of other molecules damaging cells. Not good

on the whole and they are also responsible for accelerating

the ageing process.

CHOLESTEROL - It is a fat like substance found in every

cell of the human body. Your body actually makes all of the

Cholesterol it needs but additional Cholesterol is found in a

variety of foodstuffs.

There are two types of Cholesterol -

There is a type of cholesterol that is very bad for you. (LDH)

This is bad when it builds up in your arteries giving rise to

someone having “High Cholesterol”.

Hdl Cholesterol is a good Cholesterol as it carries the LDH

Cholesterol back through the body to the liver, the liver -

then completely removes it from our bodies.

I am going to extend this part on cholesterol as though it in

no more important a subject than the others mentioned it

is none the less important as many concerns are raised

with regards to the issue of “high” Cholesterol

High Cholesterol is where you have have too much

Cholesterol in your blood. What's awful about this

condition is that it has zero symptons so a lot of people go

undiagnosed.

So, basically the higher the LDH is in your bloodstream the

greater the chances of you getting heart realted diseases

or even heart disease itself! Withe coronary heart disease

there is a build up of calcium, fat and cholesterol (often

referred to as plak) This also restricts the blood flow.

VITAMIN A - This vitamin is often referred to as retinol. It

greatly aids the immune systetm in its ability to ward of

infections. Also it can improve the eyesight to see more

clearly in low level light.

Some good food source of this vitamin are -

Oily fish

Cheese

Milk and yoghurt

Fortified low fat spreads

Eggs

RHODOPSIN - Rhodopsin is an organic compound and is

sometimes referred to as a visual pigment. When there is

light present the protein opsin is then activated by our

bodies. This then allows the retinol (Vitamin A) To bind to it

so the creation of this is called Rhodopsin.This further goes

on to explain why there is a brief delay when for example a

bright light is suddenly visible. This “delay” in your

eyesight, all be it brief is the delay one experiences whilst

the rhodopsin is being formulated.

BROMELAIN - The most common use for this is in

medicine. It improves the bodies absorbtion of antibiotics,

helps to relax musle yet is used to induce muscle

contractions as well. It helps to prevent pulmonary ademas

(A build up of water in the lungs) Shortens labor time and it

also help the body to lose fat. Therefore it is a crucial

nutrient.

VITAMIN B - There are several different types of vitamin

B to which Thiamin is included. Good food sources of this

vitamin include -

Eggs

Wholegrain breads

Dried fruit

Fresh fruit

Fruit and vegetables ( especially peas )

Vitamin B in general plays a very important roll in cell

metabolism. They are generally found in foods that have

not been proceessed. The vitamin B is actually a group of

vitamins. There are several of them each with its own

benefits for us humans.

VITAMIN C - Vitamin C is also known as Ascorbic acid and

its major benefit is that it helps to protect cells whilst

keeping them healthy as well. This vitamin is essential for

also keeping the conective tissue of our organs in a fine

state of repair. This is necessary for them to maintain their

structure. This Vitamin also assists in the healing process of

wounds.

VITAMIN K - Vitamin K has numerous important functions

and not least its pivotel role in blood clotting.

Vitamin K can be found in -

Cereal grains

Leafy green vegetables like spinach etc

Vegetable oils

Theoretically one should be able to get all of the vitamin K

that is needed from a balanced diet though very often that

is not the case , which is again where “ Juicing comes into

play”

The great thing about this vitamin is that any that your

body doesn't need immediately is stored making the

requirement to eat/drink it on a regular basis unnecessary.

As with all of the other vitamins you can buy vitamin K

supplements but why go to the expense when you can just

find it in delicious drinks.

VITAMIN E - Vitamin E is a very powerful antioxidant.

This means that it is great four our cell membranes as well

as our eyes, skin and our immune system. It can be found in

a wide variety of foodstuffs such as -

Nuts and seeds Olive oil

Soya Wheat germ (found in cereals)

Again the body stores this vitamin so it is not required

every single day.

MANGANESE - On the whole this mineral is not very well

known when it comes down to its dietary relevance. In fact

it does have a few important roles to play.

We know for certain that low manganese intake is closely

related to poor bone production.

Manganese is also in part required for an enzyme called

prolidase which in turn is responsible for the production

ofcollagen which is vital for every day skin health.

Gluconegenesis is a process whereby the conversion of

such substances like amino acids are converted to sugar.

This is a process that some of our cells frequently and

routinely engage in and they require manganese to do this

efficiently.

Manganese also helps to fight the free radicals about your

body too. So in other words it helps against skin damage,

Asthma and damage done to our cells in general.

BLOOD PRESSURE - It is considered in the medical

profession that the lower your blood pressure is the

healthier you are. How ever it has been known for some

people to have abnormally low blood pressure. If you do

suffer from low blood pressure there is nearly always an

underlying medical condition so you should get your self

checked out.

There are two measurements taken in one test when

calculating your blood pressure. One is taken at the highest

pressure point when the blood leaves the heart and the

second is when the heart is resting before it pumps again.

RESVERATOL - It is a phytoalexin and there are several

different studies presently taking place as to the effects of

resveratol on increasing lifespan. Other than on various

animals (successful trials)

No human trials have yielded any rusults what so ever as

they are all ongoing at the moment. However no negative

side effects have been reported as yet. So basically you

may as well have this too as it is harmless.

FIBRE - Fibre comes exclusively from plants, it is not

present in any meats or dairy products. Fibre cannot be

digested by the human body and it is very good for keeping

us reguluar in the toileting department.

It is what is called a complex carbohydrate which basically

is a sugar. ( Not a bad one) Fibre is bulky so it makes you

feel full as it takes up a lot of room in our stomachs.

High fibre foods also help you to be fuller for longer so they

are a good food to have in any weight loss diet. This is

obviously because if you still feel full you will not be

inclined to snack as frequently.

So therefore it goes without saying that people whose diets

contain a lot of fibre tend to be a lot slimmer.

POTASSIUM - Potassium is a major dietary mineral. It is

needed for the muscles to grow normally. It also helps to

balance the bodies PH levels (Acid/ Alkaline levels). Fruits

and vegetables are the richest source of potassium so get

juicing now. Remember vegetables are very low in calories

and high in vitamin and mineral content.

Vegetables that are high in potassium are -

Spinach

Raw Kale

Asparagus

Green beans

Brussel sprouts

Mushrooms

Zucchini (With skin)

MACULAR DEGENERATIVE DISEASE - This disease is

considered age related. It is usually the slow loss of the

central vision which gradually becomes more and more

blurred. It happens in both eyes but the speed in which it

degenerates may differ in each eye.

It does not cause complete blindness as the

peripheralvision remains.(vision around the outside) of the

eyes (as in you see something moving on the edge of your

visual focus.

ZINC - This element helps to stimulate the activity of a lot

of the bodies enzymes. Only a small quantity of this

element is required for it to act efficiently.

A low level of zinc in a person body leaves them prone to

various ailments. It seriously compromises the immune

system.

A survey in the open Respiratory Medical Journal did show

that treating patients with who had a cold with zinc

lozenges shortened them by up to 40%.

Zinc may also help to protect the skin and the mucose

membranes and when zinz is added to wounds it not only

corrects the levels of local zinc but actually acts

pharmalogically to help to heal them.

PECTIN - Pectin is a water soluble fibre that is of great

benefit to the human body. It is found in many fruits

particularly apples (With the skin on) and oranges. It is

believed to be effective against many forms of cancer.

It is also a very helpful anti inflammatory as it lowers the

production of pro inflammatory antibodies. It is also of

great use as an anti cholerstrol fighter and a stress reliever.

IRON - It must be said that iron is one of the most

important minerals for human health. It is responsible for

the dark red blood colour (when it oxidises out side of the

body) This important mineral carries oxygen to every single

cell in the body.

It to is absorbed by the brain as it is carrying the oxygen to

it anyway. It helps brain development and overall brain

health.

Anemia is the name given to people with a deficiency in

iron. Fear not though this can be cured by juicing high iron

content foodstuffs or in the form of iron supplements. But,

as I said earlier why go to the added expense when you can

make up a simple juice.

Foods with a high iron content are -

Lamb Chicken

Beef Peanuts

Dark chocolate Mussels

Tofu Cashew nuts

Lentils Pork

White beans Fortified cereals

Pine nut Dark leafy greens

Hazel nut Cocoa powder

Pumpkin seeds

Turkey

SORBITOL - This is a bulk sweetener and is found in many

foodstuffs. It isn't cariogenic (causing tooth decay) and

maybe useful to those of us who are afflicted with

diabetes. It has been recognised by GRAS (generally

recognised as safe) and has been approved for use in

Australia, The Europian Union, The U.S.A and others.

It is used in a variety of products as a protection against

the loss of moisture content. It is used in baked goods and

confectionary to stop them drying up.

.This Sorbitol can be used as an alternative sweetener to

sugar especially for people with diabetes. However you

must be made aware that too much Sorbitol can gice a

person diarrhea. Also this “Sugar” does not promote any

tooth decay, as, well all know that normal sugar does.

CALORIES - We have all heard of calories but what exactly

are they? Well by definition a calorie is a unit of energy.

In the past a calorie was a way of/in measuring heat in

engineering for example but nowadays, all you hear it

talked about is when it is related to weight.

There are two forms of calorie measurement. Calories in

and calories out. Calories in is how many of these “units of

energy” you consume and calories out is how many of

these calories are burned off during any exercise/activity

you may do.

A general rule of thumb is that a man requires 2500

calories and a woman 2000 calories per day in order to

maintain the same weight.

A quick word of warning though to those of you who are

counting the calories they consume. That is all fine but

please be aware that some of these low calorie foods hold

very questionable nutritional value.

So what you save in calories you are losing in nutrients

and as this book should prove to you you need nutrients

(minerals and vitamins etc.)

FOLATE - Folate is a water soluble vitamin. It is naturally

present in some foods. It reacts with certain enymes and

assists in the transfer information to amino acids then it

helps with the structuring of DNA and RNA (Which are

nucleic acids and pass on genetic coding)

It also helps with cell division. Folate is stored in the liver

and the RDA (Recommended dietary allowance) of Folate is

400 mcg's (micrograms) for both adult men and women

and if you are pregnant then it is 600 mcg's

CALCIUM - There is a lot of calcium in the human body,

more in fact than any other mineral. It is found in these

foods listed below -

Cheese

Milk and other dairy products

Soya beans

Any soya drink with added calcium

Breads and anything made with flour fortified with calcium

Green leafy vegatables (i.e spinach, Kale etc)

Sardines and Pilchards

It is very good food for healthy bones and healthy teeth. In

a child especially, it helps to strengthen them and in later

life assists in keeping them healthy.

ALZHIEMERS - Alziemer's is without question the most

common form of dementia. Symptoms include

forgetfulness and difficulties in thinking and problem

solving.

There are more than 520000 sufferers in the UK of

Alziemer's disease. During the progression of this disease

proteins build up between brain cells eventually leading to

their loss of connection and this then leads to the death of

the nerve cells and a loss of brain tissue.

Most people who develop this awful disease do so after

the age of 65. However it is known for people under this

age to get it. This is what is referred to as early onset

Alzheimer's

There is currently no cure for this disease, however there is

a lot that can be done to help the sufferer live with the

disease through drugs and activities.

PARKINSON'S - Parkinson's too is unfortunately a

progressive neurological disorder. People who have

Parkinson's do not have enough of a chemical called

Dopamine in their brain. The is due to the fact that nerve

cells in their brain have died. This lack of dopamine limits

the speed of movement so it takes a lot longer to do things.

The symptoms connected to Parkinson's are primarily to do

with movement. Other syptoms include -

The Tremors (Shaking)

Pain

Rigidity (Stiffness)

Sleep problems

Fatigue

RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome)

Swallowing difficulty

Eye problems

Spells of dizziness

Skin issues

Falls

Sweating problems

Feeling cold.

There is not yet a cure for this disease and unfortunately

this disease to will result in the death of the individual.

DIPHENYL ISATIN - This will be very brief on account of

there is very little to say. It is quite simply a laxitive

compound that helps to loosen the stool and makes it far

easier to pass.

TYPE 2 DIABETES - This form of diabetes usually manifests

its self in people around the agae of 40. This type makes up

around 85 – 95 % of all diabetes sufferers.

With this ailment glucose builds up in the blood due to the

fact that there is not being enough insulin produced by the

pancreas in the body.

The hormone isulin has its purpose and that purpose is to

unlock cells so that the glucose can then enter them and be

converted to energy. A person with type 2 diabetes is at a

higher risk level of -

Diseases of the Kidneys, eyes and nerves

Ulcers

Impotence in men

The circulation has to be checked with the use of

something called a dopler. Basically it checks the flow of

blood to the feet as the circulation gets disrupted. It checks

the pulse in the foot to ensure that the blood is going to

the feet.

Glaucoma is something that has to be checked for

regularlarly. When you are diabetic The retina can break

down so trips to the opticians are often and they take

photos of the inner eye. Diabetes destroys the blood cells

at the back of the eye. If left untreated it will result in

blindness. There is currently no cure for this affliction

however there are ways to manage it. Regular check ups

are essential.
