Lots of people have been checking into my blog over the last few months which makes my heart sing as I see that there are so many of you that continually come online to check out recipes. Would love to hear from you as to which recipes you have tried and how you liked them.
Throughout these last couple of months my focus turned more toward my health. Lots of reading, lots of contemplation, and lots of compassion as I began to take baby steps to transitioning into the experience of juicing for health along with raw foods.
Totally new to juicing I was not sure how I would feel and was reluctant to take those steps. Throughout March I began juicing periodically. I guess it would have helped to write it all down in terms of what was happening each day but felt that I needed that time for myself to really experience what changes were occurring and how to adapt to juicing more throughout the day.
As April 1st approached I knew I was ready to at least juice throughout the day and enjoy a salad with my evening juice. The first few days were okay. I really thought it would be harder to keep it up. It did really help to have a salad for dinner with a juice as well. There is just something to be said about actually chewing.
I was very surprised as to how much more energy I experienced just after a few days of juicing. I have to admit it was pretty shocking as I do get an energy burst around day 3 every time I go from 80 to 100% raw during my 28 and 31 day raw food challenges but this was way more.
No adverse detox symptoms were felt until around day 15. Feeling tired, a mild tummy ache and headache. Resting at this point and not overly doing was the key to get through the detoxification. Drinking lots of water helped too.
Here we are already almost at the end of June and I am still juicing at least once a day and sometimes throughout the day.
Juicing in combination with smoothies and raw food has really been life changing.
Cheers to good health!
