5 Myths About Juicing!

1. "Be Careful, You May Faint"

Really? I am going to Faint from getting the best nutrients in my body? No, you will not faint. If you are nourishing your body properly, your body is actually getting EXACTLY what it needs. You might experience headaches, weakness, and hunger all due to withdrawal like symptoms as if you were an addict but you are not being harmed by it. Once you get over those rough days, you will start feeling energetic and your body will bounce back.

 4. But, But, But......

Stop. Making. Excuses. If you want to change, do it. There is never a "right" time. If your going to try it, dedicate yourself and be in the right mind. Yes, it is hard, but you can do this. Give it a try. I really had to do a lot of reflecting and thinking before I chose to do this. I had to prepare my mind and body for the change.
