Two Day Magazine

Renew your body...renew your life!

January is the time of year where many of try out New Year’s resolutions. Two years ago on January 17, I start my resolution to attempt to address my pains in my knees, shoulders, ankles and my general physical discomfort.  I’m not an expert on bodily functions, but Bikram Yoga has turn my physical and mental body completely around. I would recommend everyone should try yoga. Not for you?  All exercise is good, so find something that works for you.  

Along with physical activity, it is so important to take care of your insides, as well. Vegetable and fruit juicing is a great way to make you feel amazing from the inside out. I recommend that if you are not use to juicing, that you take it slow and easy.  I recommend doing a one-day cleanse for those that have not attempted this process before and seek advice from a doctor, nutritionist or a medical professional before attempting any type of significant dietary change.  .  

Three juices that will provide you a great dose of vitamins, minerals, and necessary nutrients are my Kalypso Kooler, Zing, and Beetlejuice.

Kalypso Kooler is a combination of kale, cucumbers, apples, lemons and ginger.  Kalepyso Kooler is my super delicious green drink that is safe, healthy and tasty.  

Zing is a combination of carrots, apples lemon and ginger. Carrots are packed with the “B” family of vitamins, including B6, B3, B1 and B2.  All varieties of carrots contain valuable amounts of antioxidant nutrients. Included here are traditional antioxidants like vitamin C, as well as phytonutrient antioxidants like beta-carotene.

Beetlejuice is a combination of beets, oranges, carrots, ginger, parsley or (kale/collars).  Beets are colorful root vegetables that contain powerful nutrient compounds that help protect against heart disease, birth defects and certain cancers, especially colon cancer.

So, now that the new year has begun, let’s make a pledge to take better care of ourselves and make 2012 the best year yet!
