CARROT JUICE

          Carrot juice is rich in beta carotene. This is a natural form of Vitamin A, called Pro-Vitamin A. This means that our bodies assimilate this vitamin beautifully, without ever fearing an overdose, as Vitamin A supplements will do to you if you're not careful.

      Carrot juice also gives the body Vitamin A, B Vitamins, Vitamin E and many minerals. 

             The health benefits of drinking carrot juice are thought to be beneficial to pre-natal women (my wife can attest to that!) and also quite beneficial to our eyesight, and to help keep our bones and teeth strong.

         Let's not forget too, that Carrot Juice and PROPER LIVER FUNCTION go hand in hand. (Natural Vitamin A reduces Bile and Fat in the Liver). Carrot Juice combined with Apple Juice is the largest protocol for using the Gerson Treatment in helping eliminate Cancer.

       Fresh Carrot Juice is also high in the B Vitamins and E. For those who suffer from diabetes, ask your nutritionist or doctor how much you can use daily as it is sweet.

       Here's the way how to combine Carrots with other greens and vegetables:-

       Make your Tonic 35-40% Carrots and 60-65% can be leafy greens, other vegetables. Unless of course we are working with others who need the rich Beta-carotene in their bloodstreams. This juice is for those who are suffering from Vitamin A deficiency.

       But don't throw the Baby out with the Bathwater ! Carrot juice is incredibly delicious, beneficial and has nutrients in them that cannot be found in leafy greens. The darker the Carrot the more carotene it has.

        Equal to the amount of Vitamin A, would be to use Sweet Potatoes, but they are a bit sweeter than Carrots, so if you are diabetic, please make sure to get the approval of whomever you are working with.

TOP 10 BEST TIPS FOR WEIGHTLOSS

1. Make water your favorite drink. A person must have a minimum of 8 glasses of water in a day. Avoid taking soft drinks or carbonated beverages; moreover replace them with water. Water helps in reducing weight in the most effective manner.
2. Don't stuff yourself with food in a single sitting; instead have 5 to 6 small meals or snacks in a day. Eating several small meals helps the body to release less insulin, which keeps blood sugar steady and helps to control hunger.
3. Make a habit of walking. Instead of driving car to the nearby market, prefer walking down. Walking is more important for people in sedentary jobs. Walk for at least 45 minutes every day; it helps in burning extra calories.
4. Keep small plates for serving food because a study shows that the less food put in front of us, the less food we'll eat. So downsize your food plates and coffee mugs, and say goodbye to those extra calories.

DIET TIPS

                                

       Ayurveda is an ancient medical system of India that offers a path to holistic living as a means of balancing the body. When you get into the specifics of Ayurveda, there are strict guidelines depending on your body type. But even so, there are general rules that anyone can follow when choosing the Ayurvedic approach to better health and eating..

• By taking your time and chewing your food, your body already feels more of the process happening. In addition, you are able to fully chew your food until it is the correct consistency to be swallowed and digested. This Ayurvedic method will help you from overeating or feeling stuffed. By enjoying your meal, you are essentially slowing down the digestion process to let your system do its job in a natural state.

• Opt for whole, fresh, in-season, and local foods. This Ayurvedic approach to being selective when you choose foods maintains optimal nutrition. By eating foods that are closest to their natural form, you will also help increase digestibility.

• Although strict Ayurvedic followers have a number of rules about beverages, one in particular can be considered key to digestion. Do not drink cold drinks prior to eating. This might sound strange, but it crosses other cultural eating habits, as well. Although cold liquids have not been proven to hurt the process, they certainly don't help it.

Rotating food groups, trying new flavors, and combining different spices into your dish are all beneficial for your daily eating habits. This is one of the main philosophies of Ayurveda that followers believe can prevent disease and illness
