Guest guest Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 B " H I am a compulsive overeater. When I go on a bender I do it like nobodie's business. I have a long history of bulemia behind me too. There. I've said it. The ugly truth is out. At least some of it... I was in the supermarket doing my bi-weekly shopping today whilst thick in my most recent binge, when suddenly I was overcome by a yen for juice far more powerful than any I had ever had for junk food. My body starting screaming: " JUICE!!! " I wasn't surprised. A few months ago I went on a bender that left my body so toxic that my feet and legs were bloated up to the ankles. The swelling exerted so much pressure on my skin that it felt it would burst. I could no longer walk because the curve of my arches was convex. Knowing that I was in serious trouble I began to clean up my act and began to do the singly best thing for my body that I could do – I began to drink vegetable juice every day, a pint of it. In the morning I ate fruit, or put frozen chunks of fruit (it was summer) in the blender and had an all-fruit smoothie, using just enough filtered water to get the blades to turn. I ate one healthy meal per day. I also bought a good, but inexpensive juicer. Every day I made juice from about five different fresh vegetables, always including a small beet, at least one green juice vegetable (cucumber is great for juice), and carrots. My body was terribly poisoned and it took time for it to come around, but within a couple of months my body had allowed the clean water from the vegetables to replace the water that was diluting the poisons in my body. The swelling subsided and I began to lose weight. This bender has been of shorter duration and not as " junkie " as binges in the past. I firmly believe that having the memory of juice on my tape helped me back to health. I bought vegetables in the store for juice, and while I was at it I bought some whole wheat pita and tomatoes and broccoli sprouts for a lovely sandwich too. I'm getting back on track. I came home, made a pint of juice and I feel cleaner and more energized. I can't promise you that drinking juice will change the fact that you are a COE if you are, in fact I can promise you that it won't, but it is a powerful tool for health. It will become a craving that rivals all of the others. Please check the sites below out. I am not endorsing any site or any religion, I'm simply pointing you toward the sites that have the best information about juice on the market. Take what you want and leave the rest: http://www.mercola.com/nutritionplan/juicing.htm http://www.living-foods.com/articles/benefits.html This last link comes from a religious site. It is not my religion. It may not be your religion. I certainly don't agree with what they say on all religious matters, particularly what they have to say about my religion :0). However, when it comes to juicing, these people know what they're talking about: http://64.106.220.190/ To your health, Doreen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
