Jumpstart 2014: Day 7

 

Halleluja!!! This is D-Day!

I am sure it has not been easy, but I guess it's been well worth it, right?

Did you remember to drink lots of water?

Sunday

0700	Lemon Green Tea	A cup of green tea with the juice of one lemon or lime squeezed in (sweetened to taste – but not with refined white sugar)	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	Morning Glory	1 apple, 2large beets, 2 carrots, juice of 2 lemons/lime, crushed ice (153 calories)	Could boost stamina, lower blood pressure, improve digestion, reduce water retention
Noon	Smoothie Royale	1 medium sized sour sop (peeled and de-seeded), 1 large cucumber, 1 tablespoon hibiscus powder [aka zobo/sorrel], juice of 1 lemon	Could help cancer prevention, lower blood pressure, digestion, improve complexion

2100	Tea	Chamomile Tea with a teaspoon of spirulina	This is liquid sunshine for the human body! Spirulina algae is a super food . It gets its unique greennish color from a combination of Cholorophyl (green), Phycocyanin (blue), Carotenoids (orange). It contains the most powerful combination of nutrients known in any grain, herb or food, is 60% protein without any fat or cholesterol. It is the only one of two foods on the planet that contains a rare essential fatty acid called Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) which is also found in mothers milk! It has more than 10 times the betacarotene than carrots – making it excellent for your eyes and skin (read my post on carrots) It helps improve your nerves and tissues, your eyes, protects your bones and much more

• 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…

Congratulations for making it this far!
