Juice Fasting Pt 11 - Keys to Good Nutrition & Eating Healthy with Uri Feast Yuri

I'd like to share with you some of the benefits of fasting as described by Patricia and Paul Bragg in their book, "Bragg Miracle of Fasting Book." This is a good book for you to read and have on hand during your juice fasting. Keep in mind that juice fasting, or what I like to call "juice feasting," is one of the healthiest things you can do for your body. Your digestion system and elmination system will be given a rest and time to cleanse themselves, detoxify themselves, and rejuvenate themselves. I personally recommend using the Feast (live whole food based InstaFresh super juice) throughout your juice fasting. For more details see below.

Don't be a Slave to Foods

"Most humans are slaves to foods; they must have breakfast, lunch and dinner at regular meal hours every day, year in and year out. They eat whether they are hungry or not, and their poor bodies are burdened by overeating . . . and usually poor nutrition as well! No wonder we have so many physical wrecks! One of the greatest nutritional teachers in the world, Professor Arnold Ehret, said, 'Life is a tragedy of nutrition.' How true is the old trite saying, 'Man digs his grave with his knife and fork!' Many people never give their stomachs a rest. They continually stuff and work the digestive and eliminative functions with an overabundance of food. This excessive burden means that the functions of digestion and elimination become so overworked and so exhausted that they simply collapse. The entire body then becomes enervated! Millions suffer from fatigue. Old age is not a time of life. It is a condition of the body. It is not time that ages the body, it is abuse that does." – Herbert Shelton

3 Secrets to Optimal Health & Longevity - Keys to Good Nutrition & to Eating Healthy

"Gentlemen, I will never die of cancer! I am taking measures to prevent it. It is caused by poisons created in our bodies by the food we eat. What we should do then, if we would avoid cancer, is to eat raw fruits and vegetables. First, that we may be better nourished; secondly, that we may more easily eliminate waste products. We have been studying germs when we should have been studying diet and drainage [elimination & detoxification]. The world has been on the wrong track. The answer has been within ourselves all the time; drain the body of its poisons, feed it properly, and the miracle is done. Nobody need have cancer who will take the trouble to avoid it.”
- Sir William A. Lane, England’s foremost abdominal surgeon (addressing the staff of John Hopkins Hospital & Medical College)

The above quote speaks volumes of wisdom to us...if we will have ears to hear it.

A few days ago I was in a bookstore when I found the above incredible quote in a book by George Malkmus entitled, “Why Christians Get Sick.” When I read it, I was stunned! I couldn’t believe that someone so prestigious as Sir William Lane could articulate such a wise, simple, and natural solution to the “C-” problem. I cannot use the “C-” word in my blog because of FDA & FTC prohibitions, but the dictionary describes “C-” as - “a malignant tumor that tends to spread in the body.”

I would like to share with you 3 secrets to optimal health and longevity, which are in fact, several more keys to good nutrition and to eating healthy. These health secrets are all outlined in Sir William Lane’s quote above. I encourage you to take them to heart and apply them to your life, your diet, and your lifestyle.

The first thing you should do is to make a life decision that you are going to die healthy, and that you are not going to die of “C-”. Follow Sir Lane’s example and start taking daily measures to prevent it. Realize that you do not need to die of “C-” if you are willing to take the trouble to avoid it. So, before we get started, let me ask you: “Are you willing to take the trouble to avoid getting ‘C-’?” If you are, then the information to follow can help you live a long healthy life. If you are not willing, then this information will not help you and you may very well end up dying of “C-” because you were unwilling to take the necessary measures to prevent it.

Now, let’s address this question: “What causes ‘C-’ to develop in our bodies?”

As Sir Lane so clearly and succinctly stated, “C-” is caused by “poisons created in our bodies by the food we eat.” This statement is true and has been scientifically proven over and over again by researchers, nutritionists, and medical doctors. There is a ton of research and evidence available that supports this truth, but it is beyond the scope of this blog article to include it. If you are interested in reading such evidence, I encourage you to do your own research. Now, let’s get back to the cause of “C-” which is certain foods that we eat that create poisons in our bodies. As we continue to eat these unhealthy foods, toxins build up in our bodies that lead to malignant tumors that quickly start to spread throughout the body. The remedy to “C-” therefore must include eating the right kinds of foods, avoiding the foods that poison our bodies, and then learning how to eliminate wastes and detoxify our bodies for optimal health.

Longevity Secret # 1 - EAT RAW ORGANIC VEGETABLES and FRUIT

Think of this as a prescription from your Maker. God created the whole world and He created the human body. He knows what foods are best for you to achieve optimal health and longevity. According to the Maker’s Manual, we were designed to primarily eat vegetables and fruit, as well as grains, legumes, seeds, and nuts. Therefore, make raw organic vegetables and fruit a major part of your daily diet. They are loaded with natural vitamins, minerals, live enzymes, antioxidants, phytonutrients, and thousands of other nutritive compounds that impart life and energy to your body, as well as substances that fight illnesses, including “C-”. Make sure to eat all of your fruit RAW and approximately 75% of your vegetables RAW. Instead of wasting your money on expensive toxic drugs, think of your food from now on as your medicine. As Hippocrates so wisely stated, “Let your food be your medicine, and let your medicine be your food."

Longevity Secret # 2 - STOP EATING PROCESSED MAN-MADE FOOD POISONS

You must do something significant to stop putting poisons in your body from the food you’re used to eating. Take a few minutes and go back into some of my earlier blog postings to learn all about what “foods” to avoid in your diet. The September 2, 2007, posting is a summary of things you should never eat because they are toxic or poisonous to your body. For more details, also read Aug. 28, 29, 30, 31, and Sept. 1 postings. If you are serious about preventing “C-” from developing in your body and killing you, you absolutely must stop putting “C-causing” toxic foods into your body. Period. There is a fundamental spiritual principle in the Bible that says, “What you sow, you will reap.” If you “sow” toxic poisonous foods into your body, you will eventually “reap” malignant tumors and “C-” will start spreading through your body to kill it.

Longevity Secret # 3 - ELIMINATE WASTE PRODUCTS and DETOXIFY YOUR BODY

Sir William Lane emphasized the importance of eliminating the waste products from the body, as well as the importance of detoxifying the body. He used the word, “drainage,” to mean elimination and detoxification. In order to have proper elimination, our bodies need plenty of natural fiber from eating raw vegetables and fruits. Secondly, in order to detoxify our bodies, we need to learn which raw natural foods help with this process. We also need to learn to start doing a weekly juice fast, which is one of the best ways to help your body detoxify itself. For example, every Monday I fast and only drink natural spring water and fresh raw juices. This 24-hour period gives my body the break it needs from digestion in order to focus purely on elimination and detoxification. In this way, I’m working with my body to purge all of the toxins out of my system.

Secrets to a Healthy Breakfast - Keys to Good Nutrition & Tips to Eating Healthy

"To lengthen thy life, lessen thy meals." - Benjamin Franklin

I'd like to share with you some secrets to eating a healthy breakfast. If you use these keys to good nutrition and tips to eating healthy, you will accomplish two important things. First, you will assist your body in the mornings with the process of elimination, which is extremely important to your health and well being. Secondly, you will give yourself an energy boost that will take you all the way to lunchtime.

SECRETS TO A HEALTHY BREAKFAST REVEALED

Key 1 - After rising, drink a large 12-16 ounce lukewarm glass of natural spring water with 1-2 teaspoons of Bragg's organic apple cider vinegar, a big squeeze of lemon, and a tablespoon of organic raw honey. These four things will assist your body in the elimination process. Your body needs lots of water in the morning to rehydrate itself and to flush out toxins in your system.

Your body processes food in three stages: digestion, assimilation, and elimination. These stages correspond to three time cycles.

digestion = noon - 8 pm
assimilation = 8 pm - 4 am
elimination = 4 am - noon

You need to learn to work "with" your body instead of "against" your body and its cycles of food processing. The optimum time for eating and digesting food is between noon and 8 pm. Digestion is followed by the process of assimilation from 8 pm to 4 am. Most of this takes place while you sleep. The third stage is elimination, which lasts from 4 am to around noon. During this third and final stage, your body is focused on eliminating all of the wastes and toxins from the previous day. This is NOT a time to eat a heavy breakfast, but rather a time to exercise and drink lots of fluids, fresh juices, and to eat an apple. Do NOT begin your day with a large breakfast, which will only defeat your body's purpose of cleansing and elimination.

Key 2 - You need to learn to EARN YOUR BREAKFAST. In other words, your day should start with plenty of exercise, chores, and work, during which time your body has time to stretch and start eliminating the wastes and toxins it is purging.

Key 3 - About an hour after your large mixture of water and cleansing ingredients, it's time for you to have some more liquids. I recommend one of two things. You can either make your own fresh squeezed juice from organic fruits, berries, and vegetables. This will give you an energy boost for the morning, and it will aid in the elimination process. Or you can mix up a "green drink" in the form of a smoothie. This can include a lot of water, some fresh or frozen organic fruits and berries, an organic whole food powdered nutritional supplement, some Himalayan Krystal Salt saline solution, some organic barley grass juice powder, some organic extra virgin coconut oil, some flax oil, 1/4 or 1/2 of a fresh lemon, a banana, and some cayenne pepper. All of these green drink smoothie ingredients will give your body an incredible energetic morning boost, as well as assist your body in the process of elimination. I highly recommend an organic whole food based powdered nutritional supplement called, The Feast, made by Uri International. You can find more information on this amazing product by going to this website. http://www.LiveSuperJuice.com

Key 4 - Around ten in the morning, eat an organic apple or another high-fiber fruit. Apples are very healthy for you and contain fiber that will help your body cleanse itself and eliminate waste from the previous day. The wise proverb, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away," is actually true! Fruit is the best whole food for the morning because it is loaded with fiber, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that assist your body in the cleansing and elimination process, as well as providing your body with an energy boost.

If you will follow these four secret keys to a healthy breakfast, your body will reap the benefits as you learn to work with it instead of against it. The main thing to keep in mind is that mornings are a time for elimination, and not a time for digesting a large breakfast. Mornings are a time to hydrate your body and flush out the toxins. Mornings are a time to get plenty of exercise and to drink lots of water and some fruit juice. Late mornings are a time for an organic apple or some other tasty cleansing food. I trust this information is useful to you. Sincerely, the Naked Nutrition Knight.

Power Smoothie Recipe - Keys to Good Nutrition & Tips to Eating Healthy

Daily Quote: "Long before you were conceived by your parents, you were conceived in the mind of God." - Rick Warren

Today is my 48th birthday, and I'm so grateful to God to be alive and healthy! I included the above quote because it relates to my birthday and my very existence, and to yours too.

Since it's my birthday, I'm going to keep today's blog about keys to good nutrition and tips to eating healthy very short. Hope you don't mind a little brevity from time to time.

MY DAILY SUPER NUTRITIOUS MORNING SMOOTHIE

I'd like to share the recipe I use to create my super nutritious morning smoothie every day. It's loaded with powerful nutrients that give my body a real boost of energy, and it's got things in it that assist my body in cleansing and eliminating the wastes from the day before. And best of all, it actually tastes great too! In fact, my 2-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter both demand their own servings.

Put all of the following into a blender:

- about 16 ounces of natural spring water

- half a cup of frozen organic strawberries and/or blueberries

- 2 scoops of "The Feast" (my favorite whole food supplement juice powder, which is loaded with over 70+ fruits, berries, greens, vegetables, seeds, nuts, spouts, enzymes, organic minerals, and resilient living probiotics). The Feast is made by Uri International.

- 1 scoop of barley grass juice powder (I use "Barley Pure" made by Uri)

- 1 scoop of "Beyond Berries" (which is loaded with 15 antioxidant-rich berries & fruit, including Noni fruit, Mangosteen, Wolfberry-Goji, Acai berry, black currant, etc.)

- 1 teaspoon of Himalayan Krystal Salt saline solution

- 1/2 fresh lemon (aids in cleansing & elimination)

- 1 ripe banana

- 1 scoop "Food 'N Fiber" (whole food fiber by Uri)

- 1 tablespoon organic extra virgin coconut oil ("Coconut Pure" by Uri)

- 1 good shake of Cayenne pepper (aids in cleansing & elimination)

Put all of these ingredients into a blender and let her rip. I would recommend blending everything except the banana first, and then at the very end, throw in the banana and blend it on low. This way the banana helps to thicken the smoothie.

It takes me about 4 or 5 minutes every morning to make this delicious smoothie, and my body is so happy to get such a powerful nutritious morning boost. Now I actually crave my morning smoothie and "The Feast" that's a part of it. It is so nutrient dense and loaded with whole food nutrition that it has become my daily breakfast and keeps me full until lunch. Enjoy!

By the way, if you're interested in learning more about "The Feast" and the other Uri International products mentioned above, visit: The FEAST: Live Super Juice

DRINKING PLENTY OF WATER DAILY Is a Key to Eating Healthy & a Tip to Good Nutrition

"To the days of the aged, it addeth length; to the might of the strong, it addeth strength; it freshens the heart, it brings us delight; it's like drinking a goblet of morning light."

WE ALL NEED TO BE DRINKING MORE WATER EVERY DAY

Start every day with a glass of natural spring water or artesian well water, along with a squeeze of fresh lemon. Make sure to drink half of your body weight in ounces of water daily. For example, if you weigh 160 pounds, then drink 80 ounces of water per day. The best way to ensure that you are drinking enough water is to put your water serving in a large bottle and carry it with you throughout the day. By the end of the day your bottle should be empty. For some of you, this will take some getting used to, but your body will adjust and be very happy to have the extra water it needs to function properly. Drinking enough water every day is a key to eating healthy & an important tip to good nutrition and living a healthy lifestyle.

Since your body is over 70% water, drinking enough water is critical to your health. In fact, water is the key to all of your body functions including your digestion, assimilation, elimination, circulation, bones and joints, muscles, nerves, glands, and senses. Water is a vital factor in all body tissues, cells, fluids, lymph, blood, and glandular secretions. It maintains all nutritive factors, toxins, and body wastes in solution, and facilitates the transportation of nutrition and toxic wastes throughout the body. Suffice it to say, drink plenty of water daily.

Regular bowel elimination is super important to your health, and having enough water in your system is critical to proper elimination. Americans are faced with a host of physical health problems that are solely due to the fact that they are dehydrated and constipated, both of which are related to not having enough water in their system. Constipation is most often caused by dehydration and not having enough fiber in one's diet. It takes a lot of water to keep your body hydrated enough to have smooth, regular bowel movements throughout the day. When enough water (and natural food fiber) are present to establish a normal rhythm of bowel evacuation, many related physical health problems will simply vanish. Always remember that regular bowel elimination is a vital key to your health and well-being.

You need to watch out for dehydrators in your diet that cause your body to become dehydrated such as black tea, coffee, alcohol, soft drinks, and salt. Try to replace these drinks with health-promoting natural spring water or modest amounts of raw fresh-squeezed vegetable or fruit juices.

Drink only good natural spring water or artesian well water. NEVER DRINK TAP WATER! All tap water, no matter how good it might taste to you, is poisonous to your body. It is loaded with contaminants, toxins, poisons, and known carcinogenic agents including deadly fluoride and chlorine. The truth that the government and the media is not telling you is that chlorine scars your arteries and causes other physical ailments and that fluoride is one of the most poisonous and illness-causing agents you can put into your body. Don't do it! Avoid these at all costs.
