Detoxification

As most of you know, I’m a big juice fan. And cleansing is always good. Dr. Alejandro Junger’s program Clean looks great to me – nowhere near as hardcore as I can be. Balance is good. :-D Check it out…

Apple cider vinegar has been touted as an all-around remedy for many things.

How much?

Standard “3-Shot”

2 teaspoons in 8 ounces of water 3 times per day

Strong “3-Shot”

For more severe conditions like acid reflux, cough, bronchitis, or sore throat, use 2 tablespoons in 8 ounces of water 3 times per day.

The “Sipper”

For daily maintenance, weight loss and pH balancing, less vinegar, more water and sipping throughout the day is the way to go. So, 2 teaspoons of organic apple cider vinegar in 16 ounces of water. Sip, don’t chug-a-lug!

Sipping this highly diluted dosage will keep your pH in a constant alkalized state. Usually 1 or 2 tall glasses is all you’ll need each day. If you drink a lot of water throughout the day, you might try adding just a splash of apple cider vinegar to your glass each time you fill it up, rather than drinking the one 16-ounce glass as outlined above.

This is supposed to work wonders on balancing the body’s pH levels so I’m going to give it a try. I’m sticking to the raw, unpasteurized, unheated, organic variety as that’s what’s been recommended.

If you want to give it a try, please let me know how it goes.

aguacateOkay, so the first few days were a little challenging (ready to swipe food from the kitty). I’m supposed to be drinking at least a gallon of juiced vegetables and fruits and about a gallon of water every day. Yesterday (Day 4) was the first day I was actually able to consume the entire gallon of juice. And I felt much more energetic for my trouble, too.

Who doesn’t love jumping on a trampoline? Well, that’s exactly what rebounding is!

According to Nasa, rebounding “is the most efficient and effective form of exercise yet devised by man”. And it’s great if you’re super busy. According to rebounder manufacturers, 10 minutes of rebounding produces the same results as 30 minutes of jogging!

You can bounce, jump, run on the spot, dance, do jumping jacks, wave your arms around, what ever you like really! You’ll be improving your lymphatic flow, bone density, coordination, joint flexibility, muscle tone, vascular strength, and much more. Rebounding has an impact on every single cell, muscle and organ all at the same time. You’ll see real noticeable changes in your body. Like any exercise, just be sure to listen to your body and give it the intensity it is happy with.
