I have been an advocate of daily “juicing” with raw fruits and vegetables for 2 years now. I have noticed a significant gain in energy level, as well as my overall state of health since I started to “juice”.
When you “juice”, not only are you super-charging your body with vitamins and minerals, you are giving your body much needed live enzymes as well. These live enzymes play a significant role in the strength of your immune system’s ability to fight disease. A key part of “juicing” is that you need to consume all of the juice within 1 hour after making it, as the live enzymes begin to deteriorate as soon as you extract the “juice”. Within one hour after extracting the “juice”, the live enzymes have pretty well deteriorated. If you drink the “juice” later on, you will still get the benefit of the vitamins and minerals.
Over the years, our soil has become so depleted of nutrients and has become increasingly polluted. That the fruits and vegetables that we consume now do not contain a fraction of the potency that they were just ten years ago. Even going completely organic is not the answer from this perspective…
Here are a few key vegetables to include with your “Juice”…
1.] Carrot Juice – Very high in Beta Carotene, however for those who are diabetic, be cautious how much you consume, as the glycemic index is quite high.
2.] Celery Juice – High in sodium…the good natural kind that promotes tissue flexibility.
3.] Beet Juice – Beets nourish the liver…one of the most important organs of the body, especially with regards to detoxification.
4.] Cabbage Juice – High in vitamin C…also very good for those with ulcers and GI illnesses.
I “juice” daily with a mixture of about 15 fruits and vegetables, utilizing a mixture of colors from red to a lot of deep green. In my next post, I will review the “recipe” for “juice” that I have developed…an Empowering recipe!

Being an entrepreneur has given me a deep appreciation for individuals who are success oriented and never give up. The drive to always “push through” is a trait of successful people.
I have been fortunate to associate myself with many successful individuals over my life. It began with my father who instilled in me the ability to step outside of the box…to create something out of nothing. He taught me the importance of integrity in business...traits that I have incorporated into the various business models I employ.
I spent the first ten years of my career in the medical field. I worked side by side with amazing individuals who put their own self-interests aside in order to nurture others back to good health. Many times I witnessed life and death situations. It was always humbling to experience the team-work that evolved around trying to save a lives.
As my career path evolved into the business world, not only could I bring those experiences into my persona, I saw a need to spread information…real information for real situations. A close friend of mine began to mentor me in aspects of blogging. He has given me incredible insight into how a blog should be developed…how to focus my passion for helping mentor people to becoming successful entrepreneurs. This passion for mentoring others began when I was a young child and continues today. It is not about me, but rather those who have influenced my life.
I am a work-out addict and a real “ski dog”. Sorry guys and gals…I do not “ride”. I live for deep powder and steep chutes. I love the feeling of looking over the edge of a steep run…feel my heart beat faster with that adrenaline rush and then “jump in”. I love golf…but I always wonder if I will ever break 100…lol! Most of all, I love my wonderful family…they are the best! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you feel empowered today.
