Ok… So I love a good cup of coffee like the rest of us but I make it point to start my day drinking my lemon water and green juice because the importance that greens play in our body is literally out of this world! Think about it, when we first wake up, our bodies are so dehydrated which means our cells (the vehicle of oxygen, nutrients and healthy fats to our vital organs) are dehydrated!
So the best thing to do for your body in the morning is give it a well-hydrated push with some water and a green juice.
Why should we juice?
3 Reasons to Juice:
-
Greens have Chlorophyll which increases oxygenation in your body. Oxygen throughout your body means more ENERGY!
-
Greens clean out your digestive system and colon that normally stores up to 20lbs of waste.
-
Greens are natures medicine. Stay out of the doctors office with a daily green juice!
Alright, so I know this world of juicing can seem overwhelming especially if we’ve never done it before so if this is you… Then start by drinking some green smoothies! Use that blender I know you have in your pantry and throw some green veggies (starting with what’s in this video) with some lemon and water then blend that baby up!
Greens are medicine of the GODS… for real!The reason why I find this important is because we walk around drained with energy without realizing WHY when 90% (a dramatic statement) is because we are dehydrated!
Start giving your body what it needs babe and see not only does your energy increase, but see your aches and pains go away and see your emotions shift!
What green juicer am I using in the video?
I am using a Green Star Elite
Super hard core and expensive I definitely don’t think you need to go the expensive route (we just happen to be juicing fanatics) so here are some really great ones that aren’t too expensive… Again, a Blender works just fine if you are just getting into the “green life.”
1. Breville Juice Fountain Plus 850-Watt:
It’s what’s called a centrifugal juicer as the fruits and veggies are pushed down the center and spun around as the juice comes out.
2. Omega 8005 Nutrition Center:
This is a masticating juicer which presses the vegetables much like the Green Star. Much more of the enzymes remain intact. This would be for someone who wants a cold-pressed juice but doesn’t want to spend $500 on the Greenstar!
