#4.  Juice Master Jason Vale’s Cold & Flu Protector

 

2 carrots

2 apples

1 inch slice of lemon – where possible, wax free and with rind

¼ inch of fresh ginger

2 ice cubes

 

Steps:

1. Simply juice the lot and pour over ice.

This juice is rich in vitamin C, which helps sweep up free radicals and keeps tissues strong and healthy. The citric acid and ginger are wonderful for eliminating toxins from the body and aiding digestion. Ginger is also a natural antibiotic and one of nature’s supreme decongestants. This juice is full of dietary fibre, thanks to the simple apple, which provides vitamins and minerals as well as being  good for overall cleansing of the system.

#5.  Wellness Mama Katie’s All Natural Sports Drink

 

1 Quart of liquid (Options: organic green tea, herbal teas, coconut water, purified water)

⅛ Teaspoon Himalayan Sea Salt

½ Teaspoon crushed Calcium magnesium tablets or powder (optional)

¼ Cup of Juice (optional. Can use grape, apple, lemon, lime, pineapple)

2 Tablespoons Sweetener (Optional – Can use honey, stevia, etc. I suggest brewing stevia leaf into the base liquid for the most natural option)

 

Steps:

1. Brew tea (if using) or slightly warm base liquid

2. Add sea salt and calcium magnesium (if using).

3. Add juice and mix well.Then cool and store in fridge until ready to use.

As an example, her normal recipe includes 1 quart of tea (brewed with Red Raspberry Leaf, Alfalfa, Nettle and Stevia), ¼ tsp sea salt, ¼ tsp calcium magnesium powder (about 1,000 mg) and ¼ cup grape or apple juice. This provides an outstanding substitute and offers greater natural sources potassium and of sodium than regular sugar-laden energy drinks.
