That's right, humble vegetables and fruits when juiced and taken on empty stomach can be very powerful in combat with simple and not so simple viruses and bacteria overgrowth. How does it work? Fruit, vegetable and herb juices are packed with nutrients in an easy to absorb form for your body boosting your immune system that in its turn when balanced will easily cope with any intruders.
For the best therapeutic result take your juice first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Start with just a glass of it, if it is too strong for you, dilute it with water by 30%. Further into your juicing adventure, you may want to introduce another glass of fresh juice an hour prior to your dinner, again on an empty stomach. Never take your juices while having a meal as they may create wind and bloating. Juices should be taken on an empty stomach, an hour away from any other meals.
Fruit juices are best cleansers. High in Vitamin C, Calcium and Cilica this living food is excellent for quickly getting you back on track if you detected first cold and flue symptoms. They are also very high in sugar so should be taken in moderation.
Watermelon and melon juices are great for kidney and liver cleansing but should be taken separately, they are not good in combination with any other fruits or vegetables. Whereas apples A, B and C vitamins are good all rounders, perfect in a juice on their own or in any extravagant fruit or veg juice mix. An apple juice a day keeps a doctor away.
Herbs (parsley, dill, etc) and green leafy vegetables like kale, dandelion, beetroot and carrot tops, wheat and barley grass, etc when juiced will also provide in abundance very strong natural antibiotics helping you to prevent any fungal overgrowth.
