Your health is your wealth is a statement I’ve been hearing people say for years. And, after a few health challenges, I totally agree. Juicing fresh vegetables and fruits is a great way to detox your body, lose weight, feel great, and improve your overall health. There are so many benefits to juicing. I did a 28 day juice cleanse and saw weight loss results within the 1st week. You can also do a green juice to make sure you’re getting your veggies in daily…. especially if you’re not a big fan of eating vegetables. The main reason I enjoy juicing so much is to get all the vitamins and nutrients my body need daily. So, I make sure I start my day with a fresh glass of green juice.
There is no right or wrong way to juice. Some people may do a juice cleanse for a certain amount of days (breakfast, lunch, and dinner). Some may drink a glass of green juice one time a day along with their meals or as a pre-workout booster. It’s all up to you.
I am totally enjoying the way I feel after including green juice into my daily diet. I am more energized, have mental clarity, and sleep better. I do recommend that you add some kind of physical activity especially if you’re trying to reach a weight loss goal. Dance Fitness is one of my favorites. Just move your body and be active as much as you can. In order to live a healthy life, we must eat right and exercise.
In this post, I share a few juicing recipes and different types of juicers

Types Of Juicers
There are so many juicers to choose from -different price ranges. Before I purchased the current juicer I have, I did a lot of research. Got a little confusing for me. What I found is that it all depends on you and your needs. If you are trying to decide on which juicer to purchase, I listed a few below to get you started on your journey.
1. Bextcok
2. Breville Juice Fountain Cold
3. Breville Juice Fountain Compact
