Juicing at Creative Minds International PCS 

Recipe is below

Yesterday 5 Flavors Of Chi "We are the Why" Healthy Eating and Fitness Initiative did one of it's  many nutritional components called Retraining the Tastebuds to support two of it's fitness components one of which is PHIT(Proper Headstart In Training). We believe nutrition without fitness or vice versa is like hopping on one foot.

In this segment we did a recipe for Homemade Sherbert Lemonade as an alternative to sugary loaded soda's and juices that may have fructose corn syrup,dyes,sodium and other preservatives.It's loaded with vitamins A,B and C,calcium,magnesium, and potassium.It is also all natural with no sugar added.

Benefits of Juicing (how many fruits and vegetables do you need?)

http://www.cdc.gov/nutrition/everyone/fruitsvegetables/howmany.html

Being Healthy consists of many different things.Eating a daily intake of 5-9 servings of fruits and vegtables is recommended by to keep our bodies healthy. Juicing gives you more energy and the nutrients and enzymes the bodies different systems and cells need for nourishment.

 Juicing gives tremendous amounts of vitamins, minerals, nutrients and enzymes without having to digest and breakdown the food first. While It is still very important to consume whole foods as well to get the much needed fiber, juicing is a quick way to hydrate the body and get the natural vitamins and minerals while bathing the cells with vital nutrients and enzymes in just one glass!
