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
1500	Fresh Start	2 large apples, 3 large carrots, 4 celery stalks (168 calories)	Could help lower cholesterol, reduce water retention, protect colon from cancer, improve eyesight
1800	Sunset Blend	2 Green Apples, 2 beets, 1 large carrot, 1 sweet red bell pepper, 1 mid sweet potato (287 calories)	Could help cleanse blood & Liver, colon & stomach cancer protection, digestion, lower blood pressure, asthma help, Bone protection, lower bad cholesterol, improve stamina,  boost immunity, protect heart, improved complexion & eye sight,
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

Snacks

• Apple & peanut butter – no more than one apple and a tablespoon of peanut butter though!
• More herbal tea…

Congratulations for making it this far!

Jumpstart 2014: Day 6

As I sit here typing this, one sone only is on my mind. If you are a child of the 80's you will know it well...sing with me...
 

So, we're coming on to the end of the road. How has it been?

Here is Day 6:

Saturday

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
