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.
