Unleashing the Healing Power of Whole Fruits and Vegetables:
In her newest juice book, the Juice Lady explains why the juice of fresh fruits and vegetables is the richest available food source of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. She discusses what enzymes are and why they aren't available in cooked foods, and provides information about the way juice nutrients are absorbed by the body. The first section of The Juice Lady's Guide to Juicing for Health gives in-depth information about juice, while the second section provides recipes and dietary tips geared to specific conditions that need attention. The author explores juicing remedies, backed by scientific data and extensive research, and shows how to get the maximum healing potential by incorporating freshly made juices into a daily plan for health, healing, and recovery.
“Having trouble getting your five to nine recommended daily servings of fruits and vegetables? Drink your vegetables, says Cherie Calbom, the Juice Lady, and she offers 75 juice recipes to help you do it. Juicing not only tastes good and gives you nutrition, but it can also benefit your health, says Calbom. She organizes The Juice Lady's Guide to Juicing for Health into 53 medical conditions--such as Alzheimer's, ADD, allergies, influenza, gout, herpes, fibrocystic breasts, diabetes, and depression. For each, she makes recommendations about lifestyle, diet, nutrients, herbs, and juice ingredients, and offers specific juice recipes. The juices are innovative and cleverly named, such as Popeye's Power (with apple, spinach, parsley, carrots, celery, and beet), Ginger Hopper (apple, carrots, gingerroot), Sweet Calcium Cocktail (pineapple, kale), Jack & the Bean (tomato, lettuce, string beans, Brussels sprouts, lemon), and Weight-Loss Buddy (Jerusalem artichoke, carrots, beet). -- Joan Price, Amazon.com
