My husband and my mother are somewhat health conscious so in the house, diet is mostly fish, vegetables and fruit. We try to minimize meat consumption as much as we can, but meat is still very much part of our meals.
We also have a juicer that we use to extract fruit juices from different combinations of fruits and vegetables. We usually prepare a natural fruit juice in the morning and drink it before breakfast. One thing I notice is that I seem to feel full and strong afterwards. One glass is actually an energy booster, like I have eaten a full meal.
For those who want to try healthy juices, let me share these possible fruit juice combinations and its health benefits. Somebody just emailed this to me. To be honest, my stomach is not that strong when it comes to some of the concoctions. My usual health juice only contains apple, carrot, and sometimes small celery stalk or cucumber.
