Chugging Contest

Here we are again with our wheat grass juice! The chef challenged me to a chugging contest. I am normally pretty competitive but I let him win this time.

We took a juicing class during our stay. We were told that serving juice moments after it is pressed, when the enzymes and nutrient activity is most potent means you will gain the most benefit. Benefits of juicing include: increased energy, strengthens immunity, promotes healing, decreases infections, provides enzymes, minerals, phytonutrients and amino acids, assists detoxification and provides direct nutrition to the cell. Thursday was liquid day and all that is served is fresh juices, pure water, herbal teas and a raw soup. The enzymes in fresh raw plant liquids allow for easy digestion with little strain on the digestive organs. Nutrient juices are digested in 20 minutes. Since less energy is expended in digestion, this energy can be used in the healing potential of the body including mental, emotional and spiritual capacities.
