7 Days Of Juicing.
After the holidays, a person might feel sluggish and feel the need to kick those new years resolutions into full gear. Hitting the gym, losing weight, toning up and becoming a more active person is great, but I always find that a detox works wonders to jump start a new fitness program. For the next seven days I will post a daily juice recipe, supplements and other foods to aid in detoxification. With any detox or cleanse their are many things a person cannot consume: Sugar, dairy, caffeine, meat, eggs, gluten, alcohol and unnecessary medications.
Day 1 Juice:
1 cup of spinach
1/2 cucumber
2 stalks of celery including leaves
3 carrots
1/2 apple
Supplement:
Milk Thistle- aids in the detoxification of the liver.
Wonder food:
Mung Beans- These beans are very easy to digest and absorb toxic residue on the intestinal wall.

Americans and Ivy Leagues.
Why is it that the "experts" at Harvard School of Public Health have declared that dairy fat is not good for humans AND NOW everybody is listening? Vegans, clean eaters and health conscious people alike have been saying for years and years and literally have been laughed at! I have told my friends, family and clients for a long time that humans are the only mammals who consume milk after they are weaned off mothers milk AND are now consuming milk from other mammals. This does not happen in nature except for a few reasons, such as a mother dying and a baby feeding off another mammals milk for survival. Here are a few fun facts (but they didn't come from experts at an Ivy League so I suppose a lot of people will ignore it)
One study compared cancer rates of vegetarians and meat-eaters in 34,000 Americans. The results showed that those who avoided meat, fish, and poultry had dramatically lower rates of prostate, ovarian, and colon cancer compared to meat-eaters.
An 11-year-long German study involving more than 800 vegetarian men found that their cancer rates were less than half those of the general public. The lowest cancer rates were found in those who had avoided meat for 20 years or more.
A 2007 study of more than 35,000 women published in the British Journal of Cancer found that women who ate the most meat had the highest risk of breast cancer.
A study comparing the dietary habits of men in 32 countries found that the highest risk factors for prostate cancer mortality were meat and dairy products. By contrast, another study of men diagnosed with prostate cancer showed that a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and grains can slow or even halt the progression of the disease.
Scientists from the Bremen Institute for Prevention, Research, and Social Medicine and the German Cancer Research Center observed in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition that "the relationship between a vegetarian and fiber-rich diet and a decreased risk for colon cancer has been reported in many studies."
