 The best way to consume healthy juices is to make them yourself: you can have freshly prepared fruit or vegetable juices on tap and create your own taste sensations if you buy a juice extractor. It will probably become the most used appliance in your kitchen.
Adopt the daily habit of drinking a glass of fruit or vegetable juice before breakfast and add to this a half to one teaspoon of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C). This is also a great time to take your multi-vitamin capsule and any other supplements that are benefiting you. |

 The glycemic index/glycemic load charts show significant differences between, say, the russet potatoes from Canada and those from the United States, or between corn from New Zealand and corn from the United States). If a fruit or vegetable is grown in soil depleted of minerals, that fruit or vegetable is going to be less nutritious than one that's grown in soil that's rich in nutrients. (In fact, recent studies of fruits, vegetables, and wheat have indeed revealed a 5 to 3 5 percent decline in some key vitamins, minerals, and protein over the last half-century. |

| Once you have completed the three days, break the fast slowly by eating the fruit or vegetable of the juice that you have been drinking. So, if you chose orange juice, eat an orange. After the first meal you can gradually introduce different varieties of fruit or vegetables, before progressing to salad-type meals over a period of days. It will then be relatively easy to alter your previous eating habits, including many more fruit and vegetables. Create and follow a sensible eating plan for yourself to keep your body on track. |

| Lycopene in Guava Fights Prostate and Breast Cancers
Guava has a higher concentration of the carotenoid lycopene than any other fruit or vegetable. Tomatoes are the main way Americans get their lycopene, but guavas are an even better source. (A cup of guava has 17 percent more lycopene than an equivalent amount of tomatoes.) Why do we care? Consider this: In laboratory experiments, lycopene has been found to provide more protection against free radicals than any other member of the entire carotenoid family (and that includes beta-carotene!).
And lycopene may save lives. |

If you find cold vegetable juices unpalatable there are many juices which can be served hot as soups (but don't boil away the goodness from them). An equal blend of vegetables grown above and below the ground makes a delicious and healthy mix to include in your diet. |
| Your only intake for three days will be the freshly squeezed juice of a single fruit or vegetable, such as orange, apple, grapefruit, carrot, celery or cabbage. You can use your own juice extractor or vitamiser or purchase prepared pure, additive-free juices from health food stores.
Only one type of juice should be consumed and it is important that the mono-diet last for three whole days. It will not be easy, especially on the second day when symptoms of nausea, headache and giddiness may occur, but these feelings will probably pass with rest. |

 The sweeter-tasting the fruit or vegetable, the higher the concentration of minerals.32 Generally speaking, mass-produced vegetables sold in grocery stores are grown in mineral deficient soils. When consuming these, we should supplement our diet with food-form or herbal-form mineral preparations, as well as natural sea salt, to ensure we are getting all of the minerals required by the body.
Good Oils and Bad Fats
First, we need to understand that the body requires oils from our diets. |
| Washing and peeling can help to remove some residues from fruit and vegetables, but others are systemic, found within the fruit or vegetable themselves. As far as food is concerned, the only way to be sure it is pesticide-free is to buy certified organic, or to grow your own. Drinking water should be filtered because chemicals of all descriptions make their way into our wells, rivers, and lakes.
Tobacco Smoke
It is well known that smoking and second hand smoke cause cancer and heart disease. |

 For example, a recent US population study suggested that drinking at least three glasses of fruit or vegetable juice a week could cut the risk of Alzheimer's disease by 75 percent, compared with having less than one serving per week. The researchers suspect that much of the protection comes from a group of phytochemicals known as polyphenols, because the results persisted after they accounted for intake of other known Alzheimer-fighting nutrients, including vitamins E, C, and beta-carotene. |
| Try to include a cup of dark green vegetables and a cup of an orange fruit or vegetable (for carotenoids, folic acid, fiber, and phytochemicals).
Savor seafood. Eat fish two to three times a week as a sub for red meat (or foods high in saturated fat) and as a source of omega-3 fatty acids.
Favor beans over meat. Three times a week, replace red meat with beans (including soybean products), a source of folic acid (lentils, pinto beans), fiber, and assorted phytochemicals.
Enjoy whole grains. Include several servings of fiber-filled whole grain foods each day. |
| One serving equals: 3/4 cup of fruit or vegetable juice V2 cup of raw or cooked fruits or vegetables 1 medium apple or banana
1 cup of raw, leafy vegetables (like romaine lettuce) / 6 to 12 servings of whole grain products
/ 2 to 3 servings of low-fat or fat-free dairy products. One serving equals: 1 cup of milk or yogurt 1.5 to 2 ounces of reduced-fat cheese V2 cup of cottage cheese
J No more than two 3-ounce servings of lean meat, poultry, or fish
/ 2 to 3 tablespoons of added fat and oil, as well as nuts
Controlling sodium, fiber, and fat also creates synergy. |

 We have reviewed studies that have shown reversals in age-related cognitive and motor behaviors with fruit or vegetable supplementation [91] and have increased signaling and prevented cognitive decline in APP/PSI mice [283]. In the case of AD, there is an inverse correlation between the intake of wine flavonoids [284] or fruit and vegetable intake [285] and the development of dementia. |
| For example, data from historical food frequency questionnaires collected during the cohort Nurses' Health and Health Professionals Follow-up Studies indicate that cancer incidence was not influenced by increased fruit or vegetable consumption; however, modest reductions in CVD were detected [28] (Table 3). Similarly, studies of dietary supplements and individual antioxidants are not consistent; observed effects have ranged from benefit to possible harm [29, 30]. |

 Those who reported drinking fruit or vegetable juices at least three times per week were 73 percent less likely to have developed Alzheimer's as those who drank juice less than once a week.149 This is great news, as the Culture of Life anti-diabetogenic diet includes ample amounts of fresh vegetable juice.
Cancer Associations
In addition to diabetes, there is a strong link between high insulin levels and some types of cancer. In one study, ten post-menopausal women with endometrial cancer had significantly higher fasting serum insulin levels than the controls. |

 A Vita-Mix, being a very powerful blender, simply liquefies the entire fruit or vegetable. This is not juice; this is a liquefied fruit or vegetable. It's not bad, but it is not juice. That's why I recommend a juice extractor. For those of you who want more convenience, as I mentioned in last month's newsletter, you can enjoy mangosteen juice, goji juice, or noni juice. |

| A diet analysis of 64 patients with gallbladder cancer and 101 patients with gallstones showed that mango consumption was correlated with a 60 percent reduction in the risk of gallbladder cancerthe highest reduction in the risk of this cancer found for any fruit or vegetable.
Mangoes also contain a number of enzymes, including one similar to the papain in papayas, that improve digestion. Among them are mag-neferin, katechol oxidase, and lactase. |

 That means that if you want to neutralize the acid from one serving of lean meat, you must eat three servings of fresh produce.
This 3:1 ratio, in conjunction with the elimination of salt, can help to reverse the modern inversion of the potassium-to-sodium ratio, which Drs. Anthony Sebastian and Lynda Frassetto at the University of California, San Francisco, link to high blood pressure, kidney stones, and osteoporosis. How much produce does a 150-pound person need? |

| For this reason, juicing is thought to provide even better mineral absorption compared to the intact fruit or vegetable because juicing liberates the minerals into a highly bioavailable medium and separates the minerals from some of the fiber constituents, which can interfere with absorption. The green leafy vegetables are the best sources of many of the minerals, especially calcium, and this source is made more available by juicing.

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body. It constitutes 1. |

 In nature, however, we see that it is a spectrum of phytochemicals that works in concert to protect against cancer, boost cardiovascular health, improve longevity and produce a bewildering array of other healthful benefits:
What scientists found - and are still finding - was that a single fruit or vegetable contains thousands of phytochemicals in trace amounts that interact in complex but complementary ways to prevent certain diseases and boost overall health. |

| Can you squeeze in another fruit or vegetable each day? One study found that every extra serving of vegetables or fruit men added to their daily menu meant a 1 percent increase in hip bone density - and a 5 percent lower risk of hip fracture.
Nibble on those nutrients. So what do these foods have that may help build up your bones? The researchers noticed the group of men on a high fruit, veggie, and cereal diet also had the highest intake of many nutrients known to resist osteoporosis - specifically vitamin C, vitamin K, magnesium, and potassium.

 The nutty taste of ground flaxseeds is pleasant, and they can be mixed with water or any fruit or vegetable juice. They can also be added to salads, soups, yogurt, cereals, baked goods, or fresh juices. You can grind these tiny seeds in a coffee grinder.
If you prefer not to eat the seeds, you can use flaxseed oil as an alternative. Like the seeds from which it is extracted, organic cold-pressed flaxseed oil is rich in essential fatty acids. Several studies have shown that it can reduce the pain, inflammation, and swelling of arthritis. |

 These molecules should be consumed in the form that most closely resembles their original plant forms; industrially made preparations in which the fruit or vegetable has been processed beyond recognition should be rejected. For example, if you wish to use flax seeds as a source of omega-3 fatty acids, avoid buying seeds that have already been ground. Instead, try to purchase the whole seeds that you can then grind at home, thus preserving the integrity of the essential lipids present. |

 A problem with the formation of vitamin B12 occurs when there is a sterilization that happens between the picking of the fruit or vegetable and the moment it reaches one's mouth. Sterile environments are unnatural. The soil microbes and bacteria that grow on raw fruits and vegetables need to be duplicated in the intestinal tract for the proper assimilation of vitamin B12 to take place. Dr. Victor Herbert described in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (1988, vol.48, p. 852-858) the experiences of Dr. |

 However, the demands of the marketplace often go against real quality - a fruit or vegetable may look perfect but how tasty or healthy is it really? The stresses and strains of the information age and an increased awareness of the importance of a healthy lifestyle have resulted in many people turning to nutritional foods and regular exercise as a way to improve their quality of life. Vegetarian and organic foods have become part of everyday life. |

 I mention this here as many people are of the opinion that only eggs and red meat contain cholesterol. No fruit or vegetable, however, has the ability to manufacture cholesterol as animals do. You need a liver to make cholesterol. Therefore no plant food, including nuts and avocado, contains cholesterol, as no plant has a liver. In fact, we now know that eating avocados and raw, unsalted nuts on a regular basis actually helps to lower cholesterol levels!

| Avocado (high in heart-healthy oils)
Wheat grass, barley grass and other cereal grass juices
Fish oils, flax oils, macadamia nut oil
Tomatoes (raw only)
Carrots (raw, unpeeled only)
Wheat germ (very high in essential fatty acids)
Molasses (very high in B vitamins)
Beets, radishes (liver cleanser, blood cleanser, raw only)
By the way, every fruit or vegetable on this list must be eaten in raw form only. For example, a can of cooked beets or a glass of V8 juice just isn't the same. If it's cooked, it's dead. And it's no longer a superfood. |

| On farms, pigs could be fed the remains of the grain used for brewing, the whey left after cheese making, scraps from the kitchen, or any spoiling fruit or vegetable. No matter what they ate, pigs converted it into food for people, and many of the foods produced from the flesh of pigs have become culinary staples. Two examples are the pork pies still beloved in England and the barbecue that, in the United States, has become an icon of the South. |
