Juicing One of the Lost Secrets of Rejuvenation

" Rejuvenation " is a word which brings up many images: the fountain of

youth, snake oil, hyped vitamin claims, dangerous hormone replacement

or risky surgeries but what if there was a way to look and feel

younger:? What if there was a way to live your life to avoid

premature aging? Can you really prolong your life (barring accidents)

and feel better then 99.9% of the people on this planet?

There Are Ways to Look and Feel Younger

Juicing One of the Lost Secrets of Rejuvenation

I know this directly from fist hand experience. I very often have

more energy then my children and I keep pace with my grandchildren.

When they " nap " I am still going. In this newsletter, I will share

with you one of the most important tools that I use.

 

Juicing One of the Lost Secrets of Rejuvenation

My personal experience is corroborated by a legacy of rejuvenation

information left to us by many pioneers in the field of natural

health. Unfortunately, they are unknown to the mainstream but their

work and their lives proved that actual physical and mental

rejuvenation are a real possibility. Nature was their teacher.

Nature is always on the side of health and beauty.

 

Juicing One of the Lost Secrets of Rejuvenation

I've also learned from science, research, the history from the field

of natural health, my intuition, my chiropractic background and from

the people that I've reached and counseled over the past couple of

decades. The evidence is impressive.

 

Juicing One of the Lost Secrets of Rejuvenation

Several pioneers, who have become famous, actually took on the

challenge of living a longer healthier life and succeeded. Some were

so seriously ill when they began that they were actually written off

in the early decades of their lives by medical doctors. They were

told that their illnesses were fatal. They were assured that they had

very little chance of survival.

 

Juicing One of the Lost Secrets of Rejuvenation

One such pioneer was Dr. Norman Walker, a naturopathic physician. In

his early twenties, his doctors declared that he only had a few

months to live, because of the serious medical condition he faced. He

traveled to France and rested on an organic farm. He ate abundantly

from the fresh produce and noticed that his health and vitality

started to improve. Something within him urged him to eat more and

more vegetables. He reasoned that if a few vegetables were helping,

more would help even more. He decided that one of the best ways to

accomplish this would be to juice the vegetables. He started by

experimenting with carrots.

 

Juicing One of the Lost Secrets of Rejuvenation

He noticed that his health and vitality began to improve almost

immediately as he began to consume more and more juice. Dr. Walker

went on to discover juice therapy and develop the Norwalk Press, one

of the first juice extractors. As you drink carrot juice, you can

thank Dr. Walker, he lived to be 118 years old and died peacefully in

his sleep. He was active and vital and left us twelve books as a

legacy to follow on the path to rejuvenation. He wrote two of the

twelve books when he was over one hundred years old! He didn't drink,

smoke or take drugs. He didn't eat meat. He lived the majority of his

long life by consuming fresh raw fruits and vegetables and their

juices.

 

Juicing One of the Lost Secrets of Rejuvenation

Let's be clear. Dr. Walker lived to be a healthy 118. He didn't

suffer from cancer, diabetes, heart attacks, strokes or any other

killer or degenerative disease. He didn't have to be pushed around in

a wheel chair in his later years. He worked in his garden all morning

on the day that he died.

The Secret of Fresh Juice

Juicing One of the Lost Secrets of Rejuvenation

Fresh juice contains all of the vital nutrients that you need in the

most easily digested and bio-available form. When you drink juice it

enters your blood stream within five to twenty minutes and is almost

instantly ready to be used for nourishment, energy, cleansing and

repair by your body's trillions of cells. Organic vegetables make the

best juice. They are free of pesticides and have been shown to

contain up to 300% more vitamins and minerals then conventionally

grown produce. If you want to become younger, the first step you can

take is to drink fresh, organic juice. But if organic juice is not

available, drink fresh juice from the freshest produce you can find.

Any fresh juice is better than none.

 

Juicing One of the Lost Secrets of Rejuvenation

The more juice the better! Dr. Walker believed that two glasses of

juice are better then one glass of juice. If you want to heal or

repair your body, then drink two to four glasses of fresh juice every

single day. But one glass of good fresh juice is a wonderful start

and you WILL feel a difference!

 

Juicing One of the Lost Secrets of Rejuvenation

But, hold on, before you begin, there is a skill to drinking fresh

juice. It's not like other beverages that you drink along with you

meals. You must be aware that fresh juice must be consumed on an

empty stomach, and never as part of a meal that contains anything

cooked. Fresh juice is always best consumed alone. It is so

concentrated and packed with nutrients, that it is a meal by itself.

If you do wish to accompany fresh juice with other foods, make sure

that these are only fresh, raw fruits and vegetables. I always make

my juice before I do anything else in the kitchen at night. That way,

I can sip on my juice while I make my dinner. Fresh vegetable juice

needs a half hour to get through my empty stomach before I put

anything else into it.

 

Juicing One of the Lost Secrets of Rejuvenation

Why? If you mix fresh juice with a sandwich, or anything cooked, you

will not receive the benefit. Fresh juice is so alive with vital

nutrients, anything less vital will destroy its value. Once in

contact with cooked food, the juice will immediately ferment and

spoil. Even if there is only one bite of cooked food! For this

reason, fresh juice must also never be taken on top of a meal that

you have just eaten or are in the process of digesting. If you eat a

cooked meal, wait at least four hours before having any fresh juice.

If it is a large meal with heavy proteins and starches combined, wait

until the next day for your fresh juice. If you spoil the juice it

will NOT do you any good at all.

 

Juicing One of the Lost Secrets of Rejuvenation

In fact, mixing fresh juice of any kind with anything cooked can give

you a terrible stomach ache. The combination is simply incompatible.

Raw juice doesn't require digestion. Like water, the moment it

reaches your stomach it immediately leaves, entering the small

intestine. There, it is absorbed by the villi and transported into

your blood and lymph systems for distribution to your cells. Fresh

juice is one of the major secrets to increasing your vitality and

becoming younger.

The Secret of Efficient Digestion

Juicing One of the Lost Secrets of Rejuvenation

Digestion requires more energy than just about anything else that you

do. Why is this important? Wasting energy is not something that you

want to do if you value your health. I urge you to develop the

consciousness here and now that every one of the myriad of processes

in your body, from digestion to respiration, temperature and balance

maintenance to blinking, speaking to thinking, circulation of your

blood to detoxification of poisons, to the building of new cells and

the removal of spent ones – these and countless more drain your

energy reserves.

 

Juicing One of the Lost Secrets of Rejuvenation

Think of all the intricate processes of metabolism, ranging from

respiration and circulation to the ongoing process of regeneration –

the constant breaking down of old cells that are replaced with new

ones. Think about the complicated process of digestion – as the

elements of life necessary for the building of human blood, bone, and

tissue are extracted from a myriad of food sources, broken down into

the smallest components, absorbed into the blood, and transported to

the cells for assimilation. Hair and nails are always growing.

Nerves, organs, muscular and skeletal systems are all in constant

activity, even during sleep. There is an endless need for energy to

insure that none of these processes break down. As you become more

conscious of just how much energy your body requires, the energy

factor in life becomes more significant to you. If you are low on

energy, the workings of your body become depressed. If they become

seriously depressed, you are on the path to disease. Breakdowns are

unavoidable.

 

Juicing One of the Lost Secrets of Rejuvenation

 

Now, few people realise that digestion takes more energy than any

other process of the human body. Unconscious eating habits and random

choices of foods, including frequent snacking can be the largest

drain on your body's energy reserves. It is for this reason that

Surgeon General Koop assured us as far back as 1989 that food causes

nearly 70% of our diseases. By natural extension, food is also the

cause of premature aging. You see, you are in control here. There is

so much you can do with food to sidestep ill health and return your

body to a youthful state.

 

Juicing One of the Lost Secrets of Rejuvenation

Let's take a moment to look at this energy factor. I have already

made the case that digestion takes more energy than anything else

that you do. Nothing that you eat can be used by your body until it

is turned into a liquid. Everything that you eat, from bread to meat,

must be liquefied if your body is to have a chance at using it. The

most basic elements of life – the amino acids, simple and complex

carbohydrates, fatty acids and vitamins and minerals must all be

transported to your cells in liquid form to be used.

 

Juicing One of the Lost Secrets of Rejuvenation

Think now of the idea that the fresh vegetable juices that you can

drink take no energy from your body, because they don't require

digestion. They are already in usable liquid form. Every time you

eat a cooked meal, the energy necessary for digestion will rob your

energy reserves. When you eat a particularly large meal, you often

feel more tired. The more courses you eat, the greater the drop in

energy after eating. A powerful example of this energy phenomenon is

what happens after any festive celebration, such as Christmas dinner

of New Years Eve. The more that you eat, the more that you drink, the

more exhausted you become.

 

Juicing One of the Lost Secrets of Rejuvenation

Drink juice, and make a comparison. Drink it slowly, because it's a

highly concentrated food. The more you let it mix with your saliva,

almost as if you are chewing it, the greater the benefit you will

receive. And then remember this about the power of juice. No one is

going to do it for you. It is up to you to drink fresh juice on a

daily basis if you want to look and feel younger.

Beauty

Juicing One of the Lost Secrets of Rejuvenation

The word " beauty " originates from the Latin word " bonus " which

means " good " . The desire for beauty is a spiritual attribute. We

admire artists because of the beautiful works that they create. We

love Nature because it is beautiful to our eyes. We hold in high

regard those among us who are beautiful. You can create real beauty

within yourself through you dietary choices. Exercise, sleep,

meditation, the company you keep and the thoughts you entertain are

some of the supportive factors in creating beauty. As you learn how

to become younger, you will see that you also begin to appear more

beautiful.

 

Juicing One of the Lost Secrets of Rejuvenation

The acquisition of a fruit and vegetable juicer will make this boon

to your health possible. The investment in a good juicer may be more

valuable in the long run than health insurance! The healing and

medicinal properties of garlic (which is actually an herb) are

astounding. It's a strong natural antibiotic and immune system

strengthener. It purifies the blood naturally and lowers blood

cholesterol. Dr. Walker claimed that garlic kills parasites in the

intestines. He drank juices like this one every day. Be careful

though – raw garlic can upset a delicate stomach. Spinach or

sunflower sprouts add a healing dose of chlorophyll. The importance

of chlorophyll in the body cannot be overemphasized. It's the vehicle

for oxygen, which wipes out deadly disease-causing anaerobic

bacteria.

 

Juicing One of the Lost Secrets of Rejuvenation

So, enough said. Here is a recipe for an " Immunity Tonic " that I

drink every single evening while I am preparing my supper.

 

6 carrots, trimmed and scrubbed 1 cup spinach leaves or sunflower

sprouts

 

1 tomato 1 whole cucumber, scrubbed

 

2 celery ribs, scrubbed, leaves removed 1 to 3 garlic cloves,

according to tolerance

 

1 red or green bell pepper not seeded ½ of a lemon

 

1 beet, trimmed and scrubbed 1 teaspoon Carlson's Lemon Cod Liver Oil

 

½ teaspoon Concentrated Trace Mineral Drops

Juicing One of the Lost Secrets of Rejuvenation

Juice everything but the lemon, Cod Liver Oil and Mineral Drops in a

fruit and vegetable juicer. Juice the lemon by hand, and then stir

it, the oil and the minerals into the tonic. This recipe serves two.

And Wall-la! You have one very good and powerful step toward a more

beautiful and healthy you.

 

To your health!!
