Juicing

Carrot Juice Making Me Feel Sluggish?

FunRun — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 18:47:30 GMT

Last year I began drinking fresh carrot juice regularly. At most I would 3 or 4, 10 ounce glasses per week, using it as a post workout fluid/energy replacement. A few weeks ago I recognized that I did not feel as good as normal for about 12 hours after drinking the juice. I did not feel terribly bad, just not great. I've since limited the amount of juice and feel back to normal. Any ideas why this would happen? Thanks!

Juicing While Pregnant

Cheryl — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 04:01:20 GMT

I have read many good things about juicing while pregnant. Then, the other day, I came across an article that states that if you juice, the baby can become vitamin deficient. Here is a link to that article:

I have grown to love juicing but I am trying to conceive and now I am a bit concerned about this article. I cannot find anything on Mercola's site in regards to this specific topic. Does anyone have any advice/suggestions or experience with this?

Fresh Wheatgrass is a TRUE anti-aging Wonder. According to a study published in Biogerontology in 2005, entitled: "Aging reversibility: from thymus graft to vegetable extract treatment-- application to cure an age-associated pathology." ...Wheat grass was shown to REVERSE CATARACTS 25-40% in old dogs, and to reverse multiple indicators of aging.

garlic and ginger

irchi — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 19:28:18 GMT

I'm a mixed type and I've been juicing for breakfast for the past 6 months. i juice celery and spinach with 1-2 raw cloves of garlic and now I've added some raw ginger as well. Sparingly I will add 2 carrots but i do not do this often. My question is what is the best way to consume the garlic? I notice that when I juice the garlic no juice comes out but i do have a garlic taste in the juice. I now put the garlic in first and juice all the other vegetables after to try and get the garlic in there. Is it best to juice the garlic or just smash it and eat it that way? I've notice that when I directly eat the garlic I get a slight stomach ache but it passes relatively quickly. To me this tells me that the garlic is having an effect on my stomach which means it's probably doing something rather than when i try to juice it. Any suggestions? Also, should ginger be used everyday as I do with garlic? One more, is it beneficial to add cinnamon to the juice since many talk about it's numerous heath benefits? Thanks.

Morning Smoothy for Mixed Type

Jeff Lines — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 12:00:53 GMT

I just completed the metabolic typing test and came up as a mixed type. Looking over the charts, I am confused as to whether I need to make any changes to my morning smoothy. Right now I blend 4 strawberries, 3 heaping tablespoons of blueberries, 1 banana, 1 raw egg, 8 oz of yogurt from raw milk, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of fresh ground flax seed, 1 scoop of protien whey powder, 1/4 cup of coconut chips, and 3 tablespoons of coconut oil. After I finish that, I sip a cup of kefir. About half of these items are on the secondary chart and half are on the primary. What do I need to modify?

I am a Carbo type RE: Juicing: Can I mix up a green powder, such as Garden of Life "Perfect Food" as a substitute for juicing? Do I understand correctly that I should both drink vegetable juice and eat a salad at the noon and evening meals?? If I juice cucumbers, do I need to peel them before juicing?
