Fresh Food Juice

7th September, 2008 - This morning, as I was enjoying my 'green juice' and checking my mails, a collegemate wrote :

Thanks for sharing your blog…. Odelia – very unique name… sorry to read what you have gone thru in life (I didn’t know)… and you are such a superwoman!!... managing so many things in a day, including having your own time for relaxation… and taking care of 5 kids? Thot u had only 2.. mind sharing your health/diet plan? Keep it up… and take care..

So, here is what I take in the morning : a cup of fresh 'green juice' : 1 leaf of celery + 1 small bittergourd + 1 green apple + a small amount of drinking water : blend together, then drink it all up ... including the fibres (not just pure juice oh). Ha ha ... it's not very tasty the first time but after some time, you will acquire and like the taste. It's a very simple recipe given by my sister, Beatrice ... for detoxification ... and ... if you are constipated, sure to work one !!! Best to take it in the morning.

Then, in the evenings, a cup of 'red juice' for blood circulation ... as I feed my koi ... : this time, blend together 1 red apple + 1 carrot + 1 tomato + a small amount of drinking water, squeeze in a few drops of lemon ... and hey presto! Your red tasty juicy cup of red juice is ready for your drinking pleasure ^_^ and the taste .... yummy, yummy, yummy!!! from the first try! Including the fibre ... sometimes chunks of carrot or red apple (well, when it is not fully blended) gives you a crispy sweet enjoyment as you chew on it ^_^). Love this one.

This simple cup of red juice really do wonders for calming me down too ... especially after a long day ... and the good news is, after a period of time, you will find your skin starting to glow (literally) and even rosy cheeks (without the blushers).

Well, well ... these 2 juices work for me ... hope it does the same for you ^_^ Here's a toast for a HAPPY HEALTHY DRINKING habit !!!!
