Juice Tip of the Week: Alfalfa Sprouts — Green Goodness for Energy, Detox & Vitality

I am always digging deeper into nature's healing cabinet—alfalfa sprouts are one of my favorite unsung heroes. Once revered by early Arabians as "the father of all foods," this vibrant green has earned its title. I usually add alfalfa sprouts to my salad or sandwich and the powder to my juices and smoothies.

We should be careful of the thoughts we hold on to. 

Our thoughts and words can shape our reality. 
Be careful of the thoughts you hold on to.  
The way we think influences our emotions and behaviors.
They begin to weave into the fabric of our being.  
When we repeatedly speak those thoughts, we create them, and they become our reality.

Positive thinking and affirmations can lead to a more positive mindset.
Positive thinking, ultimately, leads to better outcomes in life. 

Peace!

Empowerment comes from within. It’s the force that propels you toward your dreams and desires. As Swami Rama, the great yogi and founder of the Himalayan Institute of Yoga Science and Philosophy, said, “Human beings have forgotten that all things happen deep within before they appear on the physical and mental levels. We must understand our inner skills and...use them as much as possible in order to ensure perfect health.”

This article explores the journey of rediscovering the joy of running and its transformative impact on both physical and emotional well-being. As I reflect on the days of running the Benjamin Franklin Bridge in Philadelphia, I describe how my daily routine symbolized resilience and my ability to overcome life’s challenges. Years later, my approach to running has shifted, focusing on mindful breathing, relaxation, and the benefits of a nutritious diet rich in raw fruits and vegetables. This renewed perspective has reinvigorated my passion for running, sparking aspirations to put more miles on my running shoes and perhaps tackle a half marathon once again.

Apples are one of my favorite fruits to juice. I love this detoxifying fruit! There are many varieties of apples packed with soluble fiber, minerals and the nutrients our bodies need.  An apple a day helps to keep the doctor away, an old familiar saying. Well, there is much truth to the saying so long as you are eating and drinking organic apples....

One of the most alkaline producing food has twice the amount of iron than most greens, happens to be my favorite vegetable, spinach.  I could eat and drink raw spinach, added to another veggie or fruit juice, at any time. For breakfast, lunch, snack or dinner.

Many have asked why do we place basil in our Morning Boost juice?  Basil is great for a mild headache, cramps, cold, flu, fever...

There is a movement going on, and it’s a great movement.  Women are touching their breast.  How many of us touch or examine our breast?  I do; I am proud to touch my breast.
