So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Health Benefits Of Essential Juice

By Harriett Crosby


Juicing is the process of making juices from various combinations of fruit and vegetables and has many health benefits. It is an excellent way to add certain nutrients to your diet that you may not usually eat. It should be a part of a healthy balanced diet and not replace ordinary meals. You can buy essential juice from a juice bar or supermarket, or you can make your own with a special juicing machine.

Vegetable and fruit juices retained all the nutrients that are usually lost during the process of cooking. These vitamins and minerals can help with the prevention of cardiovascular disease, inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and even cancer. The flavanoids and anthocynanins that exist in vegetables and fruit help guard against the oxidant cell damage that is caused my the exposure to pollution and chemicals.

Juicing machines are inexpensive to buy and simple to use. They have special blades that chop up the vegetable or fruit in such a way as to separate the juice form the pulp. Some people believe that there are health benefits from avoiding the pulp in the diet as the body does not adsorb the all the nutrients while it is digesting the pulp. However, this is not true; the real benefit of juicing lies in the fact that many vegetables are not eaten raw and that juicing makes them easier to consume.

There are many different recipes for essential juices that have specific health benefits. The way to create a successful juiced drink is to be bale to produce a drink that is both nutritious and delicious. Often people add other ingredients like yogurt, which can make a delicious smoothie. Other ingredients can be added too, such as grains or nuts, which will add protein to the drink.

Some juices are great for boosting energy levels. For example, strawberries, spinach and a touch of orange juice is said to have energy boosting abilities while tasting very delicious. Orange and carrot is another popular combination, and the drink is said to be an excellent way to boost the immune system with its vitamin A and C.

The juices from blueberries and cabbages contain a good level of anthocynanins, which are vital for the prevention of many diseases. Beetroot, apple and mint juice provides an high level of antioxidants that are vital for fighting the free radicals in the body; best consumed in the morning at breakfast time.

You can do some research online for the nutrients contained in certain fruits and vegetables and with a little experimentation, create your own delicious and healthy juices. There is no shortage of combinations. Or you could add extra fruit or vegetables to an existing recipe to improve or change the taste.

So why not try juicing for yourself and improve your general well-being and health. A good quality juicing machine is not costly and is worthwhile investment. Essential juice is fantastic way to compliment a healthy and balanced diet and will also help prevent diseases from occurring in the future. A search in the internet will provide you with a huge amount of juicing recipes that you can try and use to experiment with.
