Another Woman....Our Juicer

I meant to post this a million years ago, but better late than never! We bought a juicer a few months ago, just like the dude in Fat, Sick, & Nearly Dead, because we were inspired. I have found that if you add sweet to anything vegetable, it tastes just fine.

If we juice lots of kale and spinach, put in a few limes, some pineapple, or apples, and you can't taste the sour vegetable taste at all. I don't mean all of those fruits, just a few! I was adding carrots and celery to our juicing, but then realized that the carrots aggravate my tum-tum some.

Here are some of the things we have thrown in there:

• Kale
• Spinach
• Parsley (not a lot of juice)
• Tomatoes
• Radishes
• Cucumber
• Celery
• Carrots
• Limes
• Lemons
• Pineapple
• Apples
• Oranges
• Ginger Root
• Any Kind of Lettuce
• Blueberries

I just love it. For my DH, he has noticed a few more pointed improvements in his health since we started juicing stuff up. He feels less fatigued and more clear-headed, which is saying something. I personally think that upping our fruit/veggie intake in this concentrated way is probably anti-inflammatory, which everyone could use.

A small update on me--things are marginally better! My DH, who used to help quadraplegics poop on a regular basis, can certifiably say that it's getting better with the probiotics and avoidance of inflammatory foods. And he IS an expert.
