Our experience of eating less meat did not seem to be so bad. I did notice my stomach aches were not as frequent. When I did get them, I knew to think about what I ate that day or days before. It did seem that eating meat would trigger my stomach pains.
During our journey of educating ourselves, my husband and I started thinking about our family’s health history. On my side, I knew my family had some cancer and high blood pressure. On Luis’s side, there was cancer, which at this point his mom was really sick with. He also has a history of diabetes throughout his family. During our dating relationship, he always joked with me about not living past 50, because that was just how it was in his family. When his mom did die from cancer at 50, this concerned me. I was not ok with Luis not growing old with me. I knew we had to learn more about living healthy and trying our best to not follow in our family’s medical footsteps.
So we researched some more and starting learning about juicing. We saw and heard all about the power of juicing from watching, “Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead.” So, we bought ourselves a juicer. (We still love the NutriBullet!) Even as I sit here and blog, I’m drinking the juice!!
We started juicing some fruits and vegetables and we were hooked. It took us some time to find the right combinations of what tastes good together, but that was the fun part. I like to stick to my learned rule, if it is too veggie strong, just add some apple and it makes it tastes better.
Awesome juicer, we use this one.
This juicer is a bit more pricey, but it is known as one of the best juicers! Click the links to check them out!
If you are interested in purchasing a juicer or would like some advice, let me know. (I may be abe to get you a juicer at a discount!)
I also started to read the book, “The Juice Generation.”
