Hi Everyone,

I have really worked on trying to change my diet. I've been eating alot of fruits, vegetables and fish that are not prediators. What I would't give for a bread roll and butter.

Well anyway, I bought a power juicer. Does anyone else use one? Mine is on the shelf collecting dust. But I have heard their can be some real health benefits to using one. Does anyone have any recipes? Hugs, Roz

Roz,

My family used to juice a LOT!

This book is excellent for it: "Juicing For Life"
http://www.amazon.com/Juicing-Life-G.../dp/0895295121

(lots of recipes for all different health problems)

I can try and PM you more on it later!

Sending gentle hugs your way

Hi In His Hands,

Thanks so much for your help. Love, Roz xxx

I love juicers! I rarely have the energy/ ability to eat, and being a veggie/ vegan (decided eventually that should eat fish for protein as some of my carers are rubbish cooks and I would develop malnutrition and beri beri in days!) it is so much easier to just juice it all down (added advantage of veganism! all juices brilliantly!) Also as things aren't cooked it's healthier and has more antioxidants and vitamins etc!

And you can play with the texture until you get the easiest stuff to swallow. You can shove ANYTHING in - and if you have screwed taste buds it's easy!! carrot, brocolli, orange and onion etc! (that was YUM!) oh and you can add yoghurt or ice or all sorts of stuff!!!

Love and Good Luck!!

wow... juicing is a really great idea! my 6 year old son has sensory integration disorder and will only eat like 6 things - not a single vegetable (unless you count mcdonalds french fries). i made him a smoothie once and put broccoli in there with a bunch of other great fruits so you couldn't taste the broccoli... juicing might be even better!

shalom,

Hi Frogga,

Thanks for your wisdom and encouragement. I am going to try some smoothies as well. I found some recipes that sound tastefull. I am going to use plain yogurt instead of ice cream. Love, Roz

Hi Angie,

I want to welcome you hear. I really hope you go into remission. Huge Hugs, Roz

Hi Frogga,

I can't cook right now. I'm wondering if my husband took cooking lessons from your carer's. Hugs, Roz
