A Juice-fueled Journey
My sincerest hope is that this book changes your life. No matter what your overall health goal is, juicing has the potential to reshape not only your physical landscape but also your internal workings as well. Ever hear of the expression, Green on the inside, clean on the inside?
Simply drinking just a few glasses a day will supply the essential vitamins and minerals your body needs.
Some major benefits are:
They are easy to make, and take just minutes to prepare.
They are made in your own kitchen, so you know exactly whats in them.
They supply you with massive amounts of nutrients that your body needs.
You will feel the power of raw energy once the juice hits your blood stream.
Juices leave you energized all day.
One of the foremost reasons I was able to go from 17 percent body fat down to sub-7 percent was because of juicing. Not that kind of juicingIm talking straight-up, 100 percent pure green veggie juice. And maybe an occasional apple or other fruit for taste.
I was first turned on to juicing by my good friend William Ripley. He told me the devastating tale of his heroic father who had recently suffered a heart attack. The doctors had given him a very short time to liveunless he were to make some pretty radical changes immediately. At the time, his father was severely overweight, his testosterone was at an all-time low, and he had very little, if any, energy whatsoever. Whats sad is that 70 percent of the population suffers in the same way as Mr. Ripley.
Determined to get better, Mr. Ripley set out to find a solution to his failing health problem. He visited multiple doctors, and tried various homeopathic remedies along with an expansive array of other methods for healing. He was at a friends house when he shared his bad news and explained his situation to her. He asked her for advice, with an, Ill do whatever it takesIm about to die look on his face.
Within a moment she pulled out a juicer from her small pantry and gathered veggies from the fridge. As she washed the vegetables, Mr. Ripley started to chuckle.
What are we going to do with those ? he asked.
FACT: Most people in America are now getting two or less servings of vegetables a day when they should be getting seven to ten.
Mr. Ripleys friends response was simple. We are going to juice them.
Mr. Ripley was unfamiliar with the concept of juicing vegetables, but he was desperate and ready to do whatever it would take. Simply put: he was running out of time. Every heartbeat was another gift from God. Each thump reminded him of all the abuse he had laid on it, including years of poor sleeping habits and a highly toxic diet. Mr. Ripley was open for a change that day.
The juice his friend made for him consisted of a couple of carrots, a cucumber, and some ginger. She handed the cup to him and he grimaced. He had always had a disdain for the taste of carrots and had never even tasted raw ginger. But he put the glass up to his lips and took his first sip.
This stuff tastes amazing!
She smiled and reflected on how often she had seen this expression from newbie juicers.
After Mr. Ripleys first juice, and with the hope of losing weight and gaining health, he became a juicing addict. Not only did he start juicing three times a day, he convinced all of his neighbors to juice. They were hesitant to take him up on his invitations but they decided to out of respect and support, since they wanted to keep their friend around.
Months went by and Mr. Ripleyremaining faithful to his new love of juicingfelt more energy coursing through his veins and . dropped the excessive weight like he had the metabolism of a pre-pubescent adolescent.
Eventually the medication prescribed by his cardiologist started giving him problems. He explained to his doctor that it was causing vomiting and convulsing. The doctor quickly responded by running tests. A few hours later, the doctor came back in with results. It seemed that Mr. Ripleys immune system had strengthened so much that it had formed a block against the medicine.
His doctor wanted to increase the dosage of the medicine, but Mr. Ripley knew that he no longer needed it and knew that it wasnt the medicine that was improving his health and keeping him alive. It was the juice!
He had to get the secret out!
And thankfully he did.
Inspiration Strikes
After his eldest son William shared his fathers heart-wrenching story, I realized that I had to get a juicerASAP! This would end up being the best investment for my health that Id ever make.
At the time, I had lots of energy but was constantly searching for the nearest coffee shop for my caffeine fix. I was in good physical shape but nowhere near where I wanted to be. I would often work out twice a day, sometimes for more than three hours a day. Regardless, I just couldnt lose what looked like baby fat surrounding my abdominal region and my little chipmunk face.
Sound familiar?
Like many people, I was severely dehydrated and didnt even know it. Often I would mistake my dehydration for hunger, which forced me into overeating. For years this went on, and instead of drinking nourishing liquids I would overeat pizza and other life-draining foods. This is the story of most of the population. We are the dehydrated nation and also the most overweight. Do you think there is a connection?
There isa big one!
As a culture we load up on soda, coffee, tea, alcohol, and other beverages that are not good for our physical well-being . One 20-ounce bottle of Coke has the equivalent of 16 packets of sugar in it, yet we wonder why America is fighting an obesity/diabetes epidemic, which is a leading cause of death in America.
Its no coincidence that the top three are diet-related. We are eating out of convenience and making unwise decisions when it comes to our long-term health. It takes the body more energy to process this fat-laden, sugar-loaded, processed, lifeless junk food, and we are giving ourselves less time to heal.
