Circadian Rhythms of Your Body:

• Cycle 1 – Elimination (4am-noon) – This is the time your body uses it’s energy to heal and repair itself. It’s when elimination is most active. Eat juicy fruit or fresh juice only.
• Cycle 2 – Appropriation (noon-8pm) – Digestion is at its strongest. This is the time to eat!
• Cycle 3 – Assimilation (8pm-4am) – This is the time your body takes to extract, absorb, and utilize the nutrients in the food. Let your stomach retire.

Here is day 2! If you find you are hungry and need extra calories, keep a bag of organic mixed nuts with you (walnuts, almonds, cashews, Brazil nuts, etc.). Good tips for beginners.

Also, the reason for just having a nutritious smoothie and fruit in the am is because your body is still ”cleaning up” after the evening assimilation process until 12:00pm.

Sipping on a goji berry smoothie in the sun. Can life get any better?

From TheSqueezeJuice.com. Mad good. But why only one in a box?

• In creating this menu, I tried to keep it simple (usually the way I eat anyways), easy for beginners, and assumed that you are not owners of dehydrators and juicers. You will need a mixer/blender though!
• Personally I like variation and spend a lot of money on different food, so I’m not eating the same menu over and over. If you are on a budget, feel free to simply repeat your favorite dishes.
• Allergic to nuts? Be careful here…
• Please share your photos – would love to see your creations, variations, & suggestions.
• Eat every 3-3.5 hours. If you feel that the portions are too small, just make more. You want to make sure you’re getting enough calories so your metabolism doesn’t slow down.
• Drink 8 glasses of water throughout the day.
• Let’s rock & roll!

”Do not drink much liquid while eating. Try to drink your liquids 10 minutes before and/or 10 minutes after a meal. Otherwise, your digestive juices will be diluted and you will not digest your food completely” – Holistic Nutritionist Nikki Ostrower

I’m no mad scientist, and never was any good at math and chemistry, but found this super interesting! Shouldn’t this stuff be common knowledge? The white blood cells are truly warriors. And the body is so miraculous…

”Whenever a germ or infection enters the body, the white blood cells snap to attention and race toward the scene of the crime. The white blood cells are continually on the lookout for signs of disease. When a germ does appear, the white blood cells have a variety of ways by which they can attack. Some will produce protective antibodies that will overpower the germ. Others will surround and devour the bacteria,” The Franklin Institute.

What does one juicy mango do for your body?

• Provides pre-biotic dietary fiber – always beneficial for the flow of the colon – easy in, easy out. (Get more of this if you’re not doing number 2 on a daily basis, along with probiotics).
• Provides vitamin A (horray!) – great for maintaining healthy mucus membranes and skin (let it shine).
• Provides potassium (bananas aren’t the only heroes here) – Why do we need potassium? Because it helps our cells and body fluids control heart rate and blood pressure.
• Provides vitamin C – this guy helps our immune system build resistance against the infectious agents (aka bad dudes).
• Provides vitamin B6 – hello totally helps with your hormone levels. Importante for the chicas!
• Provides copper, which produces red blood cells. Did you know the red blood cells perform the most important blood duty? Why? Because they remove waste! (the nasty stuff).

Damn do I feel good about all this stuff I’m about to eat! Grab one too… Oh and don’t worry if you accidentally swallow some mango peel – it’s rich in phytonutrients. 🙂
