Jumpstart 2014: Day 4

Do you feel that you have better stamina? Yes? No? Are you drinking lots of water? Water is so important so we get out the full 100% of the effort we have put into this...so word of the day WATER!!! And LOTS OF IT!

 

Jumping to it: In Day 4:

Thursday

0700	Lemon Water	A cup of hot/warm water with the juice of one lemon or lime squeezed in	This will help prepare you for the day. It will boost immune system, balance PH, aid digestion, acts as a gentle diuretic (which is the aim of the jumpstart, right?), hydrates the lymph system, clears the skin, curbs appetite
0800	Apple Crisp	5 medium apples, 2 large stalks of celery, 2 peeled oranges (356 calories)	Could help prevent breast, liver, lung, colon cancer prevention, lower cholesterol, reduce water retention
Noon	C Smoothie	1 large cucumber, 1 cup of unsweetened yoghurt, 1 teaspoon of honey (or sweetener of choice that is NOT refined sugar), 4 ice cubes, ½” fresh ginger	Could help improve digestion, improve ulcers, stimulate the mind
1500	Flower Power	1 handful parsley or 1 brussel sprout, 1 cucumber, 2 peeled oranges, ¼ pineapple, 5 handful spinach (186 calories)	Could help with cancer protection, improve complexion, reduce inflammation, improve digestion, cleanse the blood
1800	Sweet N Simple	2 medium green apples, 2 large stalks of celery (120 calories)	Could help prevent liver, colon and breast cancer, calm the nerves
2100	Tea	Spiced Tea (I prefer Chai). If you don’t have chai, simple boil your water with 3-5 cloves, infuse your tea bag in this and sweeten to taste.	Cloves are apparently really good for your teeth

Snacks

• Nuts – why not prepare some trail mix and have this handy should you need a pick me up
• Apple & peanut butter – no more than one apple and a tablespoon of peanut butter though!
• More herbal tea…
