A diet rich in vitamins and minerals can be a key factor in your fight against the aging process. One of the most pleasant and tasty ways to accomplish this is to consume foods that contain many of these vitamins and minerals such as fruits and vegetables. In the United States people rarely eat the amount of fruits and vegetables that will provide all the necessary vitamins and minerals in the fight against the aging process so a good juice recipe may be the answer.
Brightly colored fruits and vegetable usually have the best nutritional value. Flavonoids are the brightly colored pigments found in most fruits and vegetables. When consumed, they have antioxidant properties that have been associated with having good anti-aging properties.
Almost any type of fruit will have beneficial vitamins and minerals but choosing several fruits will be the most beneficial because different amounts of nutrition will be found in different fruits. Any different combinations of fruits can be used and the only limitation is your taste and seasonal availability.
Oranges, cherries, tangerines, apples, blueberries, cranberries, melons, bananas, plums, grapes, berries, kiwi, and mango would be a good choice to start with. Next try adding complimentary flavors such as strawberry and banana, apple and cranberries, orange and pineapple, mango, kiwi and grape. The search for the perfect juice recipes is never ending and should be attacked with gusto.
Vegetables are known to have great anti-aging benefits. Substances called Antioxidants can neutralize free radical by pairing up or binding with the free radical elections thus inhibiting them from damaging cells in the human body. Natural Antioxidants are abundant in vegetables such as carrots, squash, red and green cabbage, broccoli, spinach, and Spirulina a blue-green algae. If you do not like the flavors of some vegetables including them in an anti aging juice recipe can help disguise the flavor. These vegetables should be included in the daily diet and can easily be consumed in the juice.
Not getting enough fiber in your diet? Try adding wheat germ, flax, and even nuts to your perfect juice recipe. Oat bran muffins lower blood cholesterol among healthy college students by almost 10 percent. One of the great things about creating your own juice is that any kind of supplement can be added. Do you need to lower your cholesterol but do not like the flushing and tingling sensation that comes with taking Niacin tablets. Try blending niacin into your juice. The intake of 3 grams Niacin for as little as two weeks can reduce serum cholesterol by 26 percent.
How about adding a little spice to your life? Rosemary stimulated blood circulation and the nervous system and enhances memory and concentration. The ancient Greeks called it the Herb of Memory and they wore a stalk in their hair to increase memory. Garlic can counteract the usual result of high fats in the diet and to help reduce high blood pressure.
A little research and perhaps a visit to you healthcare professional that is specializing in anti aging medicine can help you decide on which supplements you should take. Supplements will usually have vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino acids, hormones or other and can be blended in with the other ingredients of the anti aging juice recipe to increase its benefits.
Creating an anti aging juice recipe is fun and easy and will provide great health benefits to anyone who drinks them daily. Tofu, yogurt, eggs, wheat germ, flax, and other healthy foods can be added to your receipt and the only limitation is your imagination.
If you just feel that you need vitamins, supplements or herbs to fight the aging process then find a good health care professional prior to starting any type of home treatment.

Kidney cleansing is an important treatment method in alternative medical treatment. It is used to flush out toxic wastes from the kidney. Most importantly, the cleansing dissolves kidney stones. Kidney cleansing methods involves the use of juice, supplements and herbs. Another important method is kidney cleansing fast.
Fasting often gives the much needed rest to our vital organs. When you undertake a kidney cleansing fast, your kidneys gets a break from the daily routine. This allows kidneys to perform damage control exercises. The resting period is mainly used to repair damaged tissues. During the fast, herbal teas can be used to washout toxic wastes.
Certain preparation has to be made before undergoing a kidney cleansing fast. You should reduce your food intake, from a few days before the date of fasting. This will prepare your stomach for fasting. On the fasting day, drink lots of liquid. Fresh fruit juices diluted in filtered water are the best choice. Never drink canned fruit juices. Organic apple juice is an ideal choice. Herbal combinations can also be used during kidney cleansing fast. These combinations should be taken along with fresh fruit juices.
A herbal combination made out of celery and parsley leaves helps in the rejuvenation of kidneys during a fast. To prepare the combination, take one-and-half quarts of distilled water. Add one cup of parsley leaves and one cup of celery leaves. Boil for 15 minutes and simmer for 10 minutes. Drink the liquid four or five times.
For the next one week, the juice and herbal combination should be taken along with normal diet. It is better to avoid greasy and non-vegetarian food for a week. Breakfast can include fresh fruit and muesli. For lunch, salads and raw or cooked vegetables along with fruit juices are ideal. The lunch menu can be followed for dinner.
Another important and easy kidney cleansing method is the watermelon cleanse. In this method, you should purchase big watermelons. Cut them into pieces. Then sit in a bathtub or vessel filled with water. Start eating the watermelon. While eating, pass out urine into the water. This procedure can be followed whenever you have time. This method is highly helpful in dissolving kidney stones. Diabetic patients should not undertake watermelon cleansing.
Water cure, also known as water cure recipe, is another kidney cleansing method. The main aim of the method is to drink lots of water to flush out waste materials. Daily, you need to drink water equal to half of your body weight. Water is calculated in ounces. For example, if your body weight is 200 lb, then you need to drink 100 ounces of water daily. This will make about 10 glasses of water daily. A quarter spoon of salt should be added to each glass of water. Caffeinated or alcoholic drinks should be avoided.
Apart from these cleansing kidney methods, several medical practitioners have developed numerous herbal cleansing methods. Information on these methods can be obtained from books written by the practitioners and from their web sites. Numerous kidney cleansing products in the form of herbal tea and supplements are also available in the market.
Kidney cleansing is a good precaution against several diseases. Most of the cleansing practices do not involve any serious side effects. Take the opinion of a medical practitioner, if you have some major ailments.

Lorelei asked:
I have been looking for the perfect fruit punch recipe all day. I guess I am having a hard time because I have special requirements.
I want a recipe that does NOT use fruit juice concentrate. It has to be real fruit juices. And I need a recipe that doesn’t use things like jello or kool-aid. Just real juice.
I prefer either soda water or sprite/7-up but, will settle for ginger ale. Also no ice cream or sherbet.
It is a tall order to fill! Anyone know of a good recipe that sounds like what I want?
Thanks in advance!

Alien asked:
Manual citrus juicer is probably the first device that you used for making orange, lemon or grapefruit juice. In the modern time you can of course use the electronic version of the standard juicer.
Electric juicers do it very fast and thoroughly. However, some like the old-fashioned way of juicing and choose to use manual citrus juicers instead.
Manual juicers come in all shapes and sizes. Some are small and are simpler to use. Others are more complex machines.
But one thing they all have in common is the ability to extract juice from any fruit, most commonly citrus fruit, without using electricity.
Juicers use the age old device of leverage by squeezing the fruit in between two handles of an appropriate size. This is similar to a nutcracker in design, much like a pressing machine.
Manual Citrus Juicers Recommended Models
The Nor Pro Stainless Steel Citrus Press is made of stainless steel and has a very compact, lightweight frame. The handles are extra long and this allows for much greater leverage when extracting the juice.
Clean up is a snap as it is safe to use in a dishwasher and does a marvelous job of getting every single drop of juice from the fruit. This model goes for around twenty five dollars at Amazon, a real bargain among juicers.
If you want a higher end device that has more bells and whistles, look no further than the Hamilton Beach Commercial 932 Manual Juicer.
Due to its powerful yet simple gearing system, this juicer is able to exert up to 2,000 pounds of pressure, giving the ability to squeeze every last drop from the fruit.
It always allows the user to place a cup underneath it to gather the extracted juice. Its construction is heavy duty metal and will last for a long time. This is a premium manual juicer and costs around one hundred and thirty dollars.
A manual citrus juicer for a price in between these first two mentioned is the Metrokane Mighty OJ Manual Juice Squeezer. This is a retro styled juicer modeled all in chrome for a shiny finish.
It’s a very sturdy model with all metal parts that comes with a life time warranty. It retails for around fifty dollars.
Then we have the Orange-X Ojex Manual Juicer. This is a marvel of technological design and comes fully equipped to deal with any and all juicing needs.
It exterior is made of hard enamel cast iron and has suction feet which give it a much more stable operation when using. The Ojex Manual Juicer also has a rubber coated arm for easy gripping during use and an area for placing a cup or bowl.
Pick one of these up and see how convenient manual juicing can be.

Joyce asked:
Are all parts of a fruit or vegetable edible? Is it ok to juice a whole apple with seeds and all? What about juicing a whole watermelon with the green rind (skin) and seeds. I just bought a Jack LaLanne Power Juicer, which leaves less pulp than the normal juicer. Would juicing the whole vegetable or fruit yield much higher nutrition? Any recommendations for juicing?
