Coconut water

Rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acids and living enzymes, coconut water is the most naturally nutritious drink in the world. It is one of the purest, wholesome waters provided by nature. Here are just a few benefits of this natural energy drink (low on carbs, low in sugar, 99% fat free):

Body Detoxifier

Due to its content of vitamin C, coconut water consists of antioxidants that assist in removing toxic matters from the body. Hence, the drink detoxifies your body and provides vital nutrition to prevent against any nutrient deficiency.

Weight Loss

By being a natural electrolyte and isotonic beverage, coconut water helps to increase the body's metabolism.

Age Spots, Wrinkles, and Other Skin Problems

Cytokinins and lauric acid in the water which can minimize the aging of skin cells, balance PH levels and keep the connective tissues strong and hydrated. Researchers have found that Cytokinins help regulate the cell growth and their divisions.

Boosting Energy

Packed with Potassium, Calcium, and Chloride, the drink rehydrates, replenishes and boosts the body's energy levels after any strenuous activity or workout. It is a good idea to have some coconut water after a workout session.

Cardiovascular Health

High levels of Potassium and Lauric acid in the water can be quite effective at regulating blood pressure. It can also help increase HDL (good) cholesterol, which makes it a wonderful natural treatment for maintaining good cardiovascular health.

Dehydration

Rich in Potassium and other minerals, the water helps to regulate our internal fluids and replenish and rehydrate the body.

Digestive Problems

Due to high level of Lauric acid that our body converts it into monolaurin, coconut water has great antiviral, antiprozoal and antibacterial activity. This helps fight against intestinal worms, parasites, lipid-coated viruses and other gastrointestinal tract infections.

Internal Refresh

An internal refresh and body rejuvenation is just what we need after long winter months. What better a way to start summer on the right foot than by introducing some organic, cold-pressed juices into your body through Purifyne’s Green Cleanse and Anti- Ageing Cleanse plans.

Recent research has shown that an intermittent fasting* (or cleansing) turn on the SIRTI gene that enables the body to slow cell deterioration and ageing down. During fasting, your body switches to a “heal-and-replenish mode”, where it can reverse ageing naturally. This in combination with introducing juices packed with antioxidants (Chlorophyll) into the body result in a more youthful appearance.

Using the Norwalk Hydraulic Press, Purifyne juices are packed with antioxidants that are nature’s secret weapon against ageing. Ageing is caused by the cells in your body failing to regenerate.

The powerful aids that nature provides us with can assist your body in maintaining a regenerative, anti-ageing condition for a lot longer. One such aid is chlorophyll that is found naturally in green vegetables and has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties. Purifyne’s Green and Beauty Boost Cleanse plans are packed with Chlorophyll. The cleanse takes you down much deeper to a cellular level, leaving you fully restored and feeling like you have a brand new body.

Pre-Juice Cleanse Essentials

By preparing yourself mentally (and physically, see below) for your juice cleanse, you are helping yourself in ensuring that your juice cleanse will be as successful as possible.

Do’s:

·      Work on your mindset: This aspect of cleansing is extremely important, in some cases even more so than the physical preparation of your body before your cleanse. Always remind yourself why you are doing a juice cleanse and remember the saying: ‘Deal with your mind and the body will follow’.

·      Focus on your goals: Always keep your goals in mind as it will help you during those weak moments and cravings. Your mind may try to convince you to return to your old habits and diet as it that is always the easier option. However, be strong and try to persuade your mind otherwise!

·      Accept ups and downs: Accepting occasional ups and downs, which are completely normal during a juice cleanse, will help you to stay the  course and have the best experience possible.

·      Healthy change is rewarding: Committing to improving your habits and lifestyle by actually taking action can be a very challenging and sometimes scary undertaking for a lot of us. Change is not always easy at first, but healthy positive change pays off in ways most of us cannot even begin to imagine! 

Guarding against free radicals

Cell-damaging molecules - free radicals – are linked to everything from wrinkles to cancer. Free radicals are by-products of normal functions, such as breathing or digestion. Sunlight, toxins, and stress can all increase the amount of free radicals we are exposed to.

Take antioxidants to neutralist 3000 toxins that we are exposed in our daily life: cars, passive smoking, fumes, hectic lifestyle, you name it:

- Vitamins high in antioxidants are A, C, E, selenium and zinc.

- Foods with plenty of antioxidants are dark colored fruit, veggies, wholegrain  green tea & super green juices http://www.purifyne.com/green-cleanse.html .

Did you know:

Vitamins fall into two categories: fat-soluble and water soluable. 

Fat-soluable - Vit. A, D, E and K: 

- found mainly in animals fats and meat
- stored in the liver and fat supplies (no need to eat them every day)
- BE AWARE: since they are stored in the body, they can accumulated to the harmful levels if you are not careful. This is the reason why we should not take multivitamins alongside individual vitamins without proper dietary advice.

Combining foods rich in Vit. D and C together becomes healthier and more beneficial for our bodies' nutrient absorption.

Vitamin D and Calcium: The vast majority of the population in the UK are Vitamin D deficient which is required by the body to absorb Calcium.

Vitamin D-rich: Oily fish (Sardines and Salmon), Eggs and fortified Cereals
Calcium-rich: Dairy, Dark Green and Leafy vegetables

Food that damages nervous system functions

• Harmful or saturated fats: avoid at all costs as fried sausages,
maximally reduce red meat, cow's milk and derivatives.

• Refined sugar: This fast-absorbing carbohydrate is one of the 
worse irritants of the nervous system: it deteriorates and eventually produces a host of conditions.

Avoid: sodas, processed foods, pastries and sweets, ketchup and anything that contains it.

Nutritional Super-Combos

We read a lot about superfoods health benefits and their effect on our body. The recent study in Journal of Nutrition has found that certain foods become healthier and more beneficial for body nutrients’ absorption when eaten together.

Vitamin C and Iron: Iron deficiency is one of the main cause of irritability and lack of energy. Vitamin C helps the body to absorb Iron more efficiently.

• Vitamin C-rich: Lemon, Oranges, Kale, Spinach, Broccoli
• Iron-rich: Red meat, Eggs (Yolks especially), Oily fish, beans and dark green, leafy vegetables

Vitamin D and Calcium: The vast majority of the population in the UK are Vitamin D deficient which is required by the body to absorb Calcium.

• Vitamin D-rich: Oily fish (Sardines and Salmon), Eggs and fortified Cereals
• Calcium-rich: Dairy, Dark Green and Leafy vegetables

Vitamin A and Zinc: Having Vitamin A-rich foods together with foods high in Zinc increases the absorption of the skin-friendly Vitamin A.

• Vitamin A-rich Oily fish, Yoghurt and Milk
• Zinc-rich Beef, Pumpkin seeds and Oats

Examples of “Healthy Super-Combos”:

Poached eggs and spinach: Vitamin D in the eggs helps your body absorb the calcium in the Greens.

Red wine and salmon: A glass of red wine eaten with Salmon can boost our uptake of Omega-3s.

Salads and avocado: The salads components – lettuce, carrots, spinach – are superfoods in themselves containing a powerful antioxidants called Lutein*. Combining the ingredients with avocado increases your body’s absorption of Lutein by 5 times due to the healthy fats it contains.
