Have a Juicy day!
Today I finally received my Hurom Slow Juicer. I tried it out tonight by making a savory tomato, celery, spinach juice that was super easy and delicious. Tomorrow officially starts my Juice Feasting Adventure. My mom and I will be drinking nothing but fruit and veggie juices for a minimum of 30days. Our intentions are to take each and every day at a time with no expectations. My only hope is to acheive my goal (Juicing for 30 days )and hopefully heal my body and eliminate toxins. I will received colon hydrotherapy weekly and will try my best to exercise daily.
COLON HYDROTHERAPY
I received colon hydrotherapy on Friday at 1:30pm for the first time! I was so worried and anxious about this. I bet you can guess why. BUT...it wasn't bad at all. In fact after the session which wasn't painful or uncomfortable I felt light (almost like I was floating) and relieved (I got rid of a lot waste and gas in my colon). I was also devoid of worries and anxieties. It was like a stress buster.
I figure that while detoxing my insides with the juicing I might help the process along by cleaning my colon and showing those toxins the door :-)
Each day of my 30+ day juice feast I will post a blog with the juices I drink, physical and spiritual activities, feelings and experiences, and possibly some pictures!! 8-D
Love, peace and Happy JUICING!

Roughing it to better your health!
~FIBER~
I promised you all that I would talk more about this component that is found in all plant based foods. Fiber cannot be digested by the human body, yet its benefits can save your life.
WHY eat Fiber!?
Fiber comes in two forms Soluble and Insoluble but both are EQUALLY important.
Soluble fiber dissolves easily in water whereas Insoluble fiber remains suspended when mixed with water.
Roles and Benefits of Fiber:
*Fiber slows down gastric emptying: The fiber swells in your stomach, takes up space, and keeps you fuller longer this is especially helpful for losing weight.
*Fiber speeds up colon transit time: prevents constipation by bulking up your stool and helps paristalsis or contraction of the colon to push stool through till it exits ;-).
*Fiber helps to eliminate toxins in the colon and even helps prevent colon cancer: by scraping against the colon wall it binds to toxins and helps move them out.
To chew or not to chew that is the question!
Why wouldn't I want Fiber?
**If you already have a compromised colon with conditions such as diverticulitis, ulcerative colitis, crohns, etc. You may need to heal your colon with a low fiber diet before you can slowly incorporate fiber into your diet.**
Fiber may help eliminate toxins but it also eliminates some vitamins and minerals. You may be venturing into a "juice feast" like me (aka NO FIBER) I am doing this so that my body can easily and quickly absorb vitamins and minerals and nutrients without losing any. Without fiber digestion is much easier for my body and it can take a break. Juice and Smoothies and whole fruits and vegetables are all good.
Generally it is good to have a mix of it all...
I hope this helped you all! Eat your fruits and veggies!
