Juicing is great for your skin, health and life

Hi everyone
This is my first blog entry and I am believing that it won't be my last. I have a passion to eliminate all the toxic chemicals from our diets, bodies and environment so I'll be posting lots of tips and ideas for you to do this quickly and safely.

Today I'm going to share with you my recipe for a great carrot juice. This one is absolutely energizing. But you may ask, "Why do we need to juice in the first place?"

It's ideal to drink around 750ml to a litre of Living Juice five days out of seven.

Try this for a month and feel a difference. Grab hold of a juicing book which lists all types of fruit and vegetables and even herbs so you know beneficial mixes for ailments.

A good juice reference book will tell you what's good and what's not so good to juice, for example, the greens of carrot and rhubarb are toxic, as are the skins of oranges and grapefruits. However, the white, pithy part just below the skin contains very valuable bioflavonoids and vitamin C, so make sure you don't peel that away. The skins of fruits such as kiwi and papaya (pawpaw) should also be removed prior to juicing, however the skins of lemons and limes may be left on. All pits, such as plum pits and peach pits should be removed. Seeds from lemons, limes, grapes and melons etc. may be put into your juicer.

Crazy Carrot Juice
4 medium carrots
4 tomatoes
2 stalks celery
small bunch of basil

Feed all ingredients through your juicer alternatively and enjoy.

Carrots have carotene which is a natural protection against sunburns.
Celery is rich in vitamin C.
Garlic defeats high blood pressure and cholesterol, to name but a few of its many benefits.
Basil is rich in calcium and iron and has a delicious taste

Keep a watch out for more. And check out my website that I've just got up. I'll be adding recipes into the f.r.e.e. page soon so keep watching.

Keep healthy and healthy
