Experimentation

OK. So, little by little I have had different people come into my life to introduce new and healthy things to me. I am a firm believer in the Word of Wisdom and that God knows what he is talking about when it comes to our bodies. I haven't taken everything into my life, but little by little I am receiving Help as to the things I do need to do.

My bishop has mentioned juicing to me a few times and today I felt it was something I needed to do. So, I went out and bought a batch of veggies, some fruit, and a juicer. I am a little leery, but overall I'm excited. There are so many benefits I have found to it and I hope it helps problems I am having now, as well as prevents future problems (i.e. the heart disease that is prevalent in my family, cancer, etc.).

God inspires people along our path to help us. It is our duty to have the spirit with us so we know the things we do and don't need to do.


Here are a few of the recipes I have found. There are tons more out there and I would guess it's all a matter of taste and adjusting to find what you like best :) Happy juicing!

Carrot Juice (The King of Juices)

Wash 4-5 carrots and juice.

Carrot juice supplies a high amount of pro-vitamin A, which the body converts to Vitamin A; vitamins B,C,D,E, and K, minerals, calcium, phosphorous, sodium, and trace minerals. This juice benefits intestinal walls, bones, teeth, skin, hair, nails and with regular use, cleanses the liver by helping to release stale bile and excess fats.
