Juicing Finale – The final day of our Juice only regimen.
Day 7 of our juice fasting - and yes we actually decided this is the last day of juice only.
We are still full of beans, no lack of energy at all, I’ve been busy with cars and some serious cleanup in the garden. While Connie have done free massages here. (And doing so despite a little bit of back pain - old sciatic nerve issues.)
The day started, of course, with a juicing session;
8 – 9 kg of vegetables for a batch of cabala juice.
And a lot of leaves and stuff for the compulsory green juice.
Lastly we produced probably 4 L of orange, pineapple, lemon etc.
The green one is our energy drink, it’s such an popular term this days yet so foolishly missused.
Sugar and caffeine (highly processed coffee beans) is toxic, and certainly not a sustainable energy provider.
We get all our energy from the sun, and the best absorbers / collectors of the sun’s energy are green leafy vegetables. So wouldn’t it then makes sense that the way to make a proper energy drink, is to collect these green juicy leaves - squeeze that Sun energy out of them and drink it for direct absorption into your bloodstream.
Another thing worth mentioning is mindset.
Prepare yourself for you jucing session, read up about the benefits, and check out the many juicing video’s on YouTube. Then decide a bit about your program, most importantly the length of your fasting, commence this preparation at least three months before your fasting.
If you do this, discuss it, plan it and prepare for it, then you will be so focused that you’re really looking forward to commence your fasting session. Your mind is set on your 5, 7, 10 or even 30 day of fasting.
We put our fasting session at 5 to 10 days, but we will be more specific next time. Especially for Connie, there was a little bit of food cravings on Saturday afternoon and evening . She had set her mind on to a five-day mark - and now she was two days overdue for her first breakfast.
So now, or tomorrow morning, we are slowly and gradually getting used to food again. Getting used to food in itself is probably not an issue at all, but we want to stay green, healthy and on vegetarian raw food as much as possible. And other issues is the dearly loved toxins; like caffeine, alcohol and sugar, we will try to keep them off as long as possible. And of course strictly limited in our future menu.
One challenge is Connie’s birthday on Wednesday, whether to celebrate with champagne or soda water? What do you suggest?
And on Friday, driving home from the gym I seriously looking forward to my regular cappuccino on the way.
Today’s video isn’t juicing, and I have published it before - but it so good and so important. Please take your time and watch everyone of these 80 minutes.
