Juicing!

On Sunday we moved down to AL to live with my grandparents. It's wonderful to spend more time with my grandparents, and also help them achieve better health through juicing. We started off small, with just about a shot's worth of veggie juice for Ninny and a small glass for Papa. Since Ninny hasn't really ever drank anything except milk and water, drinking 5 vegetables at one time is quite a punch for her to swallow. Her faces make it look like she's just had a spoonful of ipecac, ha ha. Of course drinking vegetables can take some getting used to, but mind over matter, it's the healthiest thing you can do for yourself!
Starting off small on Sunday and Monday, we juiced 4 carrots & 2 green apples into 1 drink per person. On Tuesday, we began to juice full size glasses. We used what we had in the crisper and made even healthier drinks with 3 stalks of celery, 3-4 carrots, 1 tomato, and 1 red apple into 1 drink per person. I also added some green grapes and 1 green apple into Ninny's drink to add some sweetness for her. And today on day 4, we juiced 2 large cucumbers, 8 stalks of celery, 12 carrots, 1/4 head of lettuce, 40 grapes and 2 peaches into 4 delicious drinks.
We may not see physical results yet, but we all weighed ourselves today and will keep track of the progress! I believe juicing is already helping Papa with his memory- he remembered his doctor's appointment today! With more nutrients comes more memory! It's wonderful to feel our physical and mental health improve more and more every day! Here's to your health, everyone!
