Hello all - nice to see another group on raw foods! Thank you for the
invitation.
I drink juice of celery, zucchini, parsley mixed together with some
whole lime thrown in. When I make it the proportions are approximately
6 whole celery plants (minus roots), 4-5 medium zuchs, and two bunches
of parsley and about 1-2 small limes. Greenlife machine does the
juicing. This lasts about 4 days depending on how much I consume (2-4
tall glasses a day). I also add a TBs of raw honey (during juicing to
mix) to help slow down the fermentation process, then bottle it all in
full-to-the-top Mason jars that go in the fridge.
Green juice gives me a boost both physically and mentally - like morning
coffee used to do. It can cause detox symptoms if the body is ready and
you drink enough. I have never laid off it, except for vacations/ trips
where I cannot make arrangements. I've been drinking it about 9 years
and really notice a drop in energy when I miss a day or so. For trips I
seek out local health food stores for juice or just eat whole veggies in
lesser amounts with added mineral water.
Cheers!

In drinking green juices, what are other people out there juicing, and
how much, how often? Is there a reaction to look for in the body to
know it is time to drink it, and symptoms of when to lay off for
awhile?
