Liver Up - Juice Up

     Have you got dark circles under your eyes?  Spots on the back of your hands?  Past time to hit the greens - daily.  You need lots of vitamin A and the best way to get that is with dandelion leaves.  Dandelion leaves are loaded with not only vitamin A but magnesium which is essential for healthy blood.  Juicing is the best way but if you can't juice it - eat it!  If you're a drinker and a smoker, both alcohol and smoking dry out your skin and make unnecessary early wrinkles.  Tomatoes are healthy for your liver and skin so I eat lots of tomatoes.  Smoker's should also ad a red bell pepper to your diet as often as possible as it is very rich in vitamin C an A.  Smoking depletes this vitamin tremendously and vitamin C is one of the top cancer fighter's.  So eat red and green daily and you will look and feel much better.  Eat ageless fruits and veggies such as beets and avocados.  I like my beets fresh - steamed with nothing on them.  I saute the beet greens in olive oil, garlic, ginger and sprinkle a little turmeric or curry and cayenne pepper for pain.  Must ad a green onion for respiratory health before or after cooking - then dribble a few drops of soy sauce or Bragg's liquid amino's and balsamic vinegar - scrumptious!  Makes a great side dish along side your steamed beets.
