Juice Up

March 7th, 2009 -- Posted in Diet | Comments Off

Eating fruits and vegetables are very good to our health, but for sure some of us do not want to eat them. I really don’t like vegetables and only like a few fruits.  Until my friend suggested me to juiced fruits and vegetables rather than cook them or literally eat them. Immediately I loved the fresh vegetable and fruit juice I made.  At first, I only tried the fruits and vegetables that I eat. Then after a while of getting used with fruit and vegetable juices I tried mixing other herbs and vegetables in to it.

With this I already had a better feel with myself. I started to loose some weight faster compared with the weight loss pills I was taking before. Studies say that juicing fruits and vegetables are the best ways to get the vitamins from them. In juicing you get almost 97% of the vitamins present in fruits and vegetables as compared to cooking them or eating them raw. It would make you as well more immune to diseases, like cough, colds and even various types of cancers.

Tips for Weight Loss

As I was trying out my newly bought Linksys router at home, I found a site where you can find tricks on how to lose weight. One tip I found useful was using your ipod while going to the gym. Time goes faster when you’re listening to your fave music especially when you’re using equipments like threadmills.

Another tip I really liked was when in shopping, try to walk a few floors of the mall. It may mean more window shopping time and it may also serve as a form of exercise. Other interesting tips were using brown sugar instead of white, going vegetarian (that would be hard for me) and drink lots and lots of water. I don’t know about you, but maybe I’ll try the window shopping/exercise technique tomorrow.
