Exercising regularly does not mean you are getting the maximum benefits. Nutrition is a critical component of any exercise or fitness programme – get it right and you can maximise the results” – says our nutritional expert, Christine Bailey.
Incorporating organic, cold-pressed juices
into your daily diet ensures that you are getting all essential
vitamins and minerals instantly as they reach your blood stream much
quicker than food being digested.
Here are some examples of what juices can help you with your exercise regime and why these are so good for you:
1. Bananas, beetroot and apples
This combination helps to exercise up to 16% longer.
Bananas and apples improve energy
Beetroot: Drinking
fresh beetroot before exercising can help improve your stamina and
endurance. The naturally-occurring nitrate in beetroot juice was shown
to lead to reduced oxygen uptake, which made exercise less tiring to
study participants (according to a study by the University of Exeter in
2009).
2. Carrots, beetroot, garlic and ginseng powder
Carrot: The juice gives
an instant pick-me-up feeling while providing you with lasting energy
for your workout. High levels of beta-carotene - an antioxidant that may
help oxygenate the blood, brain and body tissues.
Ginseng: Adding 1 teaspoon of Ginseng powder will increase some strength, energy and stamina for their workout too.
3. Carrots, cherry, apples and ginger
Cherry contains
antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents. It can ease muscle and joint
pains and it is believed to promote muscle strength.
4. Grapes and ginger shots
Grapes are a great as energy boosters. The iron in them works well against fatigue.
Ps. The fruit is also good for the heart and helps with fighting premature ageing.
Alcohol works in the body as a diuretic resulting
in high levels of dehydration. When you metabolite alcohol, your body
first turns it into acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde is more toxic than
alcohol itself, and is one of the reasons you have headaches and nausea
during a hangover.
The hangover symptoms ease as the body turns the substance into a
less toxic chemical. The best way to re-hydrate your body is to drink
plenty of fluids.
What you should drink and do:
Water: Hydration is the key so keep drinking still or fizzy mineral water with or without some Vitamin C Effervescent tablets.
Fruit juices: Have our Purivyve Grapefruit Juices first thing in the morning.
Coconut water: Hangover often results in increased
dehydration which can be reduced by consuming Coconut water. The drink
is one of the most naturally nutritious and hydrating drinks in the
world
Vitamin B: The Coconut water is also rich in
vitamins (B complex). A sufficient amount of Vitamin B Complex can
lessen the duration of a hangover. Vitamins B are water soluble and need
to replenish them in the diet on a daily basis.
Note: Take some “Berocca” for additional Vitamin B supplement.
Frozen peas: If you have a headache, a cold pack of frozen peas placed on the forehead can bring fast relief.
Exercise: Spend 5 minutes vigorously exercising as
it will improve your blood circulation, energy levels, boost your mood
(due to endorphin release) and burn a few calories which may ease your
guilt about how much you drank the night before.
Note: One drink—a 12-ounce beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces
of hard liquor—is metabolised by your body in an hour and, therefore,
“sweat it out” theory is myth.
The morning after: Take a hot bath as this opens the skin pores to release the alcohol toxins.
Lime Juice: Have some lime juice with a teaspoon of Sugar, Agave Nectar or Honey in some water and drink slowly.
Ginger tea: Having a cup of warm ginger tea (with honey) can also be functional in reducing the problems caused due to hangover.
Ginseng* is one of the proven herbal cures for the
trouble of hangover. Hangover often results in increased dehydration
which can be reduced by consuming the herb.
FAT BURNING FOODS - JUICES
Asparagus
Asparagus contains the chemical
asparagine. This is an alkaloid that stimulates the kidneys and improves
the circulatory process. These alkaloids directly affect the cells and
break down fat. It also contains a chemical that helps to remove waste
from the body by breaking up the oxalic acid; this acid tends to glue
fat to cells, and so by breaking the acid up, it helps to reduce fat
levels.
Beets
Beets are a strong diuretic that focuses on
the liver and kidneys. Beets flush out floating body fats. They have a
special iron that cleanses the corpuscles. Corpuscles are blood cells
that can contain fat deposits.
It also contains a chlorine that also helps to flush out fatty
deposits. This chlorine stimulates the lymph which will clear out the
fat deposits.
Brussel Spouts
This vegetable
stimulates the glands, the pancreas especially, which releases hormones
that have a cleansing effect on the cells. There are also minerals that
stimulate the kidneys. Waste is released quicker and it helps to clean
out the cells.
Cabbage
This cleanses your body of waste matter
because it contains sulphur and iodine, which helps to cleanse the
mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines. Cabbage is a great food
if you should have a pot belly or a middle age spread. The diuretic
cabbage will help to break up the fat in this area.
Carrots
Carrots
contain carotene, a form of Vitamin A. This carotene will start a fat
flushing reaction in your system. This reaction will literally wash out
fat and waste quickly. The carotene will be transformed into vitamin A
in the intestines and this process will create a speed up in your
metabolism and cause a reaction in your cells to remove fat deposits.
Celery
Raw
celery has a high concentration of Calcium in a ready to use form, so
when you eat it, the calcium is sent directly to work. This pure form of
Calcium will ignite your endocrine system. The hormones in your body
will break up the accumulated fat build up. Celery also has a high level
of magnesium and iron which will clean out your system.
Cucumber
Cucumber
contains a high sulphur and silcon content. These minerals work to
stimulate the kidneys to wash out uric acid, which is a waste product.
With this uric acid being washed out, it stimulates the removal of fat,
and loosens the fat from the cells.
Garlic
Garlic
is a natural diuretic. Garlic has mustard oils and these oils create a
cleansing action in the body. They promote a vigorous action of
peristalsis, which is muscular contractions, and this will loosen fat
and help wash out fats. They can also breakdown clumps of fat. So eat
garlic and thin down.
Horseradish
We’ve all seen horseradish, few venture
to use it, but it has an amazing effect of dissolving fat in cells (no
side effects) and also as a cleansing effect on the body.
Lettuce
Lettuce contains iron and magnesium. These
minerals will enter your spleen, your spleen helps your immunity and
protects the body from illness. The spleen will use these minerals to
make them stronger, and send them to the cells and tissues. It will also
help the liver, increase your metabolism, and wash out fatty cells. The
darker lettuces have more of the minerals. So add Lettuce to your diet
NOW!
Onions
Onions, similar to garlic, have minerals and
oils that will help to breakdown fat deposits and speed up your
metabolism. Have raw onions every day, it has more power than garlic and
with the milder smell, it will make an excellent addition to your diet.
Radishes
Radishes scrub the mucous membrane of the
body because it contains high levels of Iron and Magnesium. These
minerals actually help to dissolve fat in the cells.
Tomatoes
Tomatoes have high Vitamin C and
Citricmalic-oxalic acids. The acid will accelerate the metabolic
process. It also helps the kidneys to release more water and helps to
wash away fat.
The natural acids with the enzyme activated minerals prompt the
kidneys to filter out large quantities of fatty deposits and then you
eliminate them from your system. So add tomatoes to your daily diet and
your metabolism will thank you for it.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Use this diuretic in small
quantities. You can add it to your salad as a dressing. What makes this
such a powerful diuretic is this: It is made from apples and the malic
acid in apples will create a fat burning process. Another factor with
this vinegar is the fermentation process causes the vinegar to have
constructive acids that join with alkaline elements and minerals in the
body. This produces a cell scrubbing effect. It also contains high
levels of potassium, which has an antiseptic quality that helps to
eliminate fat deposits.

Herbs
Willow bark (was used to develop Aspirin in 1800s):
Willow bark contains Salicin – a chemical similar to aspirin
(acetylsalicylic acid) – that has pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory
effects of the herb. The effect is slower than aspirin but it lasts
longer.
Feverfew is an herb that acts by limiting the
production of Prostaglandins, the brain chemicals responsible for
contracting blood vessels. The contraction and expansion of the blood
vessels are thought to cause the “pounding” of headaches. Feverfew tends
to release the pain.
Acerola Cherry is a Latin American “super fruit”
with high levels of Anthocyanins - anti-inflammatory similar to aspirin
and ibuprofen – and are known for their headache relief quality.
Drinks
Teas: Nettle, Feverfew and Camomile teas together

Magnesium-rich foods: Magnesium relaxes muscles and
nerves. Foods with high source of magnesium include: Green and Sea
vegetables, Avocados, Alfalfa sprouts, Millet, Brown rice, Quinoa, Soya,
Hazelnuts and Watercress.
