If this is true, then I should juice more!

They are great for weight loss, colon health and as an easy way to get more minerals and fresh foods into the diet. But an added bonus is that they’ve been known to reverse gray hair, naturally!

The Green Smoothie was actually “invented” in the 1970′s by Ann Wigmore, who went on to write many books on natural health and healing, including The Hippocrates Diet. She called the Green Smoothie her “energy soup.” Wigmore claimed that grey hair is linked to mineral deficiencies, and when the body is able to boost its mineral reserves, the natural color returns.

Here are some general tips to making your own Green Smoothies:

Blend 60% fruit to 40% greens in a blender.
Keep in mind that cucumber, tomato and bell peppers are fruits.
You can start to mix more fruits and greens as you become confident in your flavor combinations.
Add water and/or high-water content fruits first.
Then add greens, blend again.
Blend different fruits and greens every day.
Try different combinations and find what tastes best to you

Are you ready to try a Green Smoothie? Here’s a recipe to get you started:

Ingredients

2 bunches bok choy
1 handful arugula
2 oranges
1 mandarin
A few shavings fresh ginger (about a quarter inch)
Half tsp. blue green algae powder
Half tsp. chlorella powder
1 capsule probiotic powder
Half lime, squeezed
1 cup water

Directions

Carefully wash all greens and peel the oranges and mandarin.

In a blender, add the water, fruits, powders and fresh ginger and blend until smooth.

Add the greens and blend again.

Finally, open the probiotic capsule and add the powder to the smoothie, blending one last time until smooth.

Smoothie will keep for up to two days in the fridge, but is best if consumed immediately.

Searching for Walkers for the Safety of Your Elders

The past few weeks have let me realize that my parents are not getting any younger. I need to make sure that certain allowances and care are given to them especially since I am the eldest girl. They are still sharp and ambulatory, fortunately, so they can still be left at home by themselves. However, I need to make sure that features at home are not accident prone.

There are elderly people who would need assistance with walking. This is why walkers and rollators with seats are one of the most sold out medical equipment when it comes to geriatric care.

Medical walkers are ambulatory aids that were designed to help seniors become independent despite those conditions that make them have difficulties in staying balanced while walking or standing up.

There are roughly two types of walkers, those with wheels and those without wheels. There are also walkers with seats and those without.

One needs to choose the best medical walkers that fit the one that is using it.

1.  When it comes to the handles, choosing the right grip is a must to ensure that your hands and the bones in them don’t get deformed.

2. Be sure that the handles are of the appropriate height as you hold on to them. This will prevent undue stress and pressure on your arms, shoulders, and the back. See to it that your elbows bend at a comfortable angle and that when you place your hands at your sides, the handle reaches the crease lines of your wrists.

3. Test the product first. To test your walker, put your weight against it while keeping your back straight then take a step into the device, be sure that the walker doesn’t move as you take a step.
