I’ve been wearing glasses since I was ten years old. It really stinks! But I can attest to this juice, it really helps keep your eyes from degenerating with time and for me, it seems to be turning back the clock on my loss of vision. Which is good because at the rate I was going, I’d be legally blind in another 10 years.

This juice is great for your vision, delicious, and easy to make. You will need:

  • 3 tablespoons of fresh organic basil
  • 14 medium organic carrots
  • 1/2 an organic lemon
  • 5 organic peaches

Simply blend in your juicer, stir, and enjoy.

Vitamin A deficiencies can cause you difficulty with seeing at night or in dim light. One carrot supplies a large quantity of vitamin A, so you can imagine how good 14 carrots would be. Beta-carotene contained in the carrots is also known to reduce macular degeneration in the elderly.

This juice is also useful in clearing up acne, relieving bloating, and helping reduce the symptoms of the menstrual cycle.

Enjoy!

This is an extremely simple drink recipe that I’ve been using for a few years now when I think I need a detox. It leaves me feeling refreshed and recharged. It enables your body to more easily flush toxic stuff out of you the way it does naturally. It also helps your body digest food and boosts immune strength.

  • 1 cup of filtered water. Never use bottled water!
  • 4 organic green apples
  • 1 inch piece of organic ginger root
  • 1 whole organic lemon with peel still on.

Only use  natural, organic ingredients. Never use bottled water, it’s almost always worse than tap water. Blend the lemon, apples, and ginger in your blender. Add the water if you prefer a less viscous drink. Drink every morning as early as possible on an empty stomach. Allow to digest for 45 mintues before breakfast.

Enjoy!

Did you know that Asthma accounts for about 15 million doctor visits and 2 million emergency room visits every year? That makes sens when you consider that 25 million Americans, 7 million of which are children, have Asthma in the United States.

A recent study showed that children with asthma who drank apple juice on a daily basis suffered less wheezing and other general asthma symptoms that children who drank apple juice just once a month. Children born to women who eat a lot of apples during pregnancy also have a lower rate of birthing children with asthma than those mothers who ate fewer apples. Interesting stuff, huh? That’s what makes this juice so potentially effective in helping both kids and adults with asthma.

You will need:

  • 5 medium organic apples
  • 2 stalks of organic celery
  • 2 organic oranges, peeled

Simply process all of the ingredients in your juicer, stir, and serve.

In addition to relieving the symptoms of asthma, this juice can help relieve constipation, kidney stones, high cholesterol, and may be able to prevent Alzheimer’s disease later in life too.

The liver is the organ in the body in charge of detoxifying the body of a variety of toxins and metals. It also helps stimulate your body’s digestion. If you’ve been eating lots of bad food and drinking excessive amounts of alcohol, it may be time to think about taking care of this vital organ.

It turns out, you can help the liver stay healthy and do its jobs with the simple grape. Be sure to pick up grapes that are a darker color. The light green grapes won’t do the trick.  In the morning, soak a half cup of grapes in warm water for 15 minutes. Then run them under the sink giving them a thorough cleaning.

Put the grapes in a glass and fill it with boiled water. Allow to sit at room temperature until the next morning.

The following morning on an empty stomach, drink the water and eat the grapes. Recline for an hour or two and put a warm compress on the right side of the abdomen (where the liver is located. Conduct this cleansing exercise 4 times a month.
