Water: Drink pure filtered water to avoid heavy metals and

toxins such as chlorine that may be in tap water. According

to Dr. Trukington, lack of water in the body has an

immediate and deep effect on memory; dehydration can

generate confusion and other thought difficulties.

 

A good guideline is to drink about 48 ounces per day. For

optimum benefit, add electrolytes, fresh lemon juice, or

raw organic apple cider vinegar to your drinking water.

 

The consumption of distilled water should be avoided unless

electrolytes are added to it. Plain distilled water is

dead. Having no minerals of its own, it may draw precious

minerals out of the body. This can be extremely

detrimental, particularly for those who already have low

mineral reserves or mineral imbalances.

 

Fresh vegetable juices contain a myriad of vitamins,

minerals, and amino acids as well as enzymes. Because they

are juices, containing no fiber, they are easily

assimilated and go to work in the body via the blood stream

in a matter of minutes. Juices are very cleansing and aid

the body in expelling unwanted toxins.

 

Fresh vegetable juices can be very healing and are good

liver builders and cleansers. Carrot, beet, cucumber, and

greens make a good combination and carrot juice mixes well

with many other vegetable juices. It is best to take some

oil, flax or fish, along with vegetable juices. Beta-

carotene cannot be converted to vitamin A in the body

without the presence of fat.

 

Fruit juices are not recommended for daily, consistent use

as they contain extremely high amounts of sugar. Vegetable

juices also contain natural sugars and in some cases,

people with candida or blood sugar imbalances cannot

tolerate consuming large amounts. Take care not to overdo

juice consumption.

 

Recommended Dosage: One or two 4-ounce glasses every day

for about a month. After that every other day or so should

be sufficient.

 

Green Tea is a powerful antioxidant containing polyphenols

such as catechins and quercetin, which can increase

antioxidant activity in the blood by as much as fifty

percent within a half-hour of drinking the tea. Green tea

also assists the liver by improving the efficiency of its

enzyme detoxification system. This is important for

excreting toxins before they damage cells.

 

Green tea is also rich in flavonoids and is relatively low

in caffeine. If not over consumed caffeine can be

beneficial for cognitive function however, no more than 100

mg of caffeine should be consumed in one day. (Khalsa,

1997:266) Green tea typically contains 20-45 mg of caffeine

per cup.

 

Decaffeinated green tea is also available and a

decaffeinated concentrate, Herbagreen Tea, is available

from HerbaSway laboratories (available in health food

stores). This eliminates the tea bags and also the concern

about the substances used to bleach them.

 

Ginger Tea: Ginger has been used in China for thousands of

years for medicinal purposes. The herb contains antioxidant

properties, aids the digestive process, supports the

cardiovascular system, and inhibits the inflammatory

process.

 

Ginger is available in a tea, named Rubus-Ginger Tea, also

from HerbaSway (available in health food stores). This tea

contains ginger, green tea, and blackberry. The blackberry

in this tea adds the benefit of nourishment for the liver

and kidneys and is anti-inflammatory as well.

Nothing wastes more energy than worrying - the longer a problem is

carried, the heavier it gets. Don't take things too seriously - live a

life of serenity, not a life of regrets.
