25.01.2022 Celebrating exactly 1 year on the Celery Juice!

25.01.2022 Imbalances in your hormones are triggered by bad food. If you eat sugar, you’ll produce more insulin, more estrogen, and more testosterone. Any type of fl...our and sugar can lead to these imbalances. Dairy and gluten are often triggers for inflammation and hormonal imbalances. Xenobiotics or environmental chemicals like pesticides in our food can act like powerful hormone disruptors and trigger our own hormones to go out of balance. We know that sugar, caffeine, alcohol, stress, and lack of exercise all contribute to worse PMS and all hormonal imbalances including menopause. After removing the bad stuff, you will want to replace it with good stuff. Eat a whole, real, unprocessed, organic, mostly plant-based diet with organic or sustainably raised animal products. When you focus on this type of diet, you minimize intake of xenoestrogens, hormones, and antibiotics. Taking simple steps like choosing organic food and drinking filtered water can hugely impact hormone balance. Getting good quality sleep every night and exercising regularly can help balance your hormones. Along with supplementing with Omega-3, vitamin D3, B vitamins, magnesium, and probiotics. See more

08.01.2022 Being addicted to sugar is a biological disorder, driven by hormones and neurotransmitters that fuel sugar and carb cravings leading to uncontrolled overeatin...g. The good news is we can break our sugar addiction. Here are 8 ways to combat sugar: 1) Eat real food. You need to eat fat and protein for each of your meals. Whole foods carbohydrates like veggies, legumes, nuts & seeds are perfectly healthy. Processed, sugary junk foods are not real foods. They set the stage for sugar addiction and all its ugly consequences. 2) Steady blood sugar levels. Eat a nutritious breakfast with some protein like eggs, protein shakes, or nut butters. Also, have smaller meals throughout the day. Eat every 3-4 hours and have some protein with each snack or meal (lean animal protein, nuts, seeds, beans). Avoid eating three hours before bedtime. 3) Ditch sugar. Go cold turkey. You must eliminate refined sugars, sodas, fruit juices, & artificial sweeteners from your diet. 4) Reduce stress. Stress eating & junk food go together. Learn to address the root cause of your stress and address it with something like yoga, meditation, or deep breathing. 5) Exercise smartly. The next time you get a hankering for something sweet, walk it offLiterally! Besides creating a healthy distraction, exercise tapers cravings & raises feel-good endorphin levels. 6) Determine whether food sensitivities could be causing your cravings. We often crave the very foods that we have a hidden allergy to, including gluten, dairy, & sugar. 7) Sleep well. Ever notice you’re hungrier for something sugary after a terrible night’s sleep? Studies show lack of sleep increases cravings. 8) Implement crave-cutting supplements. These include vitamin D & omega-3s. Also consider taking natural supplements for cravings control. Glutamine, tyrosine, and 5-HTP are amino acids that help reduce cravings. Stress-reducing herbs such as Rhodiola rosea can also help. Chromium balances blood sugar and can help take the edge off cravings. Glucomannan fiber is very helpful to reduce the spikes in sugar & insulin that drive cravings & hunger. See more

06.01.2022 In fact, it takes just ten days without sugar to see substantial metabolic and neurological benefits. In a study published in the journal, Obesity, and sp...onsored by the National Institutes of Health, scientists recruited 43 overweight teenagers who had at least one feature of metabolic syndrome, such as high blood sugar, hypertension, or abnormal cholesterol. On average, the subjects had been getting about 27% of their daily calories from sugar. But the researchers made one simple modification to their diets: They replaced all sweet foods that they were eatingcandy, pastries, doughnutswith starches. They kept the number of calories the same, so the subjects wouldn’t lose any weight. The goal of the study was to see whether replacing sugar with slow-acting carbs would improve health even without weight loss. After only ten days, there were marked changes. On average, the subjects’ diastolic blood pressure fell 5 points. Their LDL cholesterol dropped 10 points. Their triglyceride levels plummeted 33 points. And their fasting blood sugar and insulin levelsboth of which are predictors of diabetesimproved significantly. See more
