Juice. It does a body good 🍏🥒🍋
When I was battling cancer, I did not drink any water whatsoever for a good 9 months straight. It did not take me that long to overcome, but I kept up my regimens during the damage control cleanup part of it.
Why? Because someone in this state needs every single ounce and boost of nutrition they can get. Enzymes are severely lacking. Always. Water will dilute enzymes. These juices are plenty hydrating, often times more than water and they are jampacked with life giving enzymes. They contain what you call “structured water.”
The foods that I put in the green juice I make regularly are the top foods for diuretics, and have an excellent nutrition panel.
Recipe for 3ish juices:
1 bunch of parsley
1 head of celery
(Sometimes 1 cucumber)
2-4 stalks of Kale
1/4 of a green bell pepper
1-2 lemons
2-4 green apples
Parsley's volatile oils—particularly myristicin—have been shown to inhibit tumor formation in animal studies, and particularly, tumor formation in the lungs. Myristicin has also been shown to activate the enzyme glutathione-S-transferase, which helps attach the molecule glutathione to oxidized molecules that would otherwise do damage in the body. The activity of parsley's volatile oils qualifies it as a "chemoprotective" food, and in particular, a food that can help neutralize particular types of carcinogens (like the benzopyrenes that are part of cigarette smoke and charcoal grill smoke).
Parsley is a good source of folic acid, one of the most important B vitamins. While it plays numerous roles in the body, one of its most critical roles in relation to cardiovascular health is its necessary participation in the process through which the body converts homocysteine into benign molecules. Homocysteine is a potentially dangerous molecule that, at high levels, can directly damage blood vessels, and high levels of homocysteine are associated with a significantly increased risk of heart attack and stroke in people with atherosclerosis or diabetic heart disease. Enjoying foods rich in folic acid, like parsley, is an especially good idea for individuals who either have, or wish to prevent, these diseases. Folic acid is also a critical nutrient for proper cell division and is therefore vitally important for cancer-prevention in two areas of the body that contain rapidly dividing cells—the colon, and in women, the cervix.
It is a great source of Vit K, C, A
Celery:
Memory loss could be suspended with the addition of celery to the diet, according to a 2010 study at the University of Illinois!!!
Celery is rich in electrolytes and has a cooling effect on the body, which may relate to its ability to fight inflammation. You can also count on celery to lower oxidative stress in the heart and help clear the digestive system. Studies also found that the apignen in celery has the ability to inhibit breast and pancreatic cancer, and the luteolin to boost cognitive function.
(The apigenen in celery and parsley was also shown to dramatically inhibit breast cancer cells in a celebrated study done at the University of Missouri. Scientists found apigenin shrank a certain breast cancer tumor stimulated by progestin, a synthetic hormone taken by women for menopausal symptoms. While apigenen was shown to be the natural flavonoid compound responsible for inhibiting breast cancer cells, it had not been tested against pancreatic cancer. Scientists undertook the study, noting that many chemotherapeutic agents had been used to treat pancreatic cancer without success. At the conclusion, apigenin also was reported as having the ability to inhibit growth in four pancreatic cancer cell lines.)
Those items alone are good reasons to up your celery intake. 💚
These are just the two main ingredients in my juice. The other items have amazing health benefits as well!
