The Miracle of Living Water in Plants:

The absorption of direct sunlight by plants is a fascinating process known as photosynthesis. It enables plants to harness solar energy and convert it into a life force, what I like to refer to as a form of physical "living water." This radiant energy infuses the plants with vitality and is the essence of their life-force energy.

When we partake in fresh-pressed plant juices, we are tapping into this life force. These juices are incredibly hydrating and nutrient-dense elixirs as 'Natural Medicine.' They contain a treasure trove of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytonutrients and enzymes that our cells eagerly absorb, like a kid in a candy store. It's like offering our cells the essential building blocks they need for optimal function.

The magic of living plant juices lies in their ability to penetrate deep into our cellular structure. They bring with them an abundance of vitamins and minerals that support cellular repair; and glucose is the key to transporting these nutrients into our cells. Antioxidants are on the front lines, combating oxidative stress and promoting overall health. Enzymes play a vital role in digestion and metabolic processes, contributing to our well-being.

Beyond their nutritional value, living plant juices act as natural cleansers for our bodies. They support our detoxification pathways, assisting in the removal of accumulated toxins and waste. This detoxifying effect not only boosts our vitality but also enhances our body's innate ability to heal itself.

Many freshly made plant-based juices have an alkalizing effect on our bodies, helping to restore balance to our internal pH levels. This balance is fundamental for optimal health and well-being in mind-body-and spirit.

However, I believe we can agree that not all juices are created equal. Fresh, slow-pressed juices are the gold standard. They are vibrant and full of life as they are FRESHLY pressed. They haven't yet started to 'Turn.' On the other hand, juices that are sitting in the refrigerated sections of stores are often processed and may contain added sugars, colors, and other additives. Even so-called "fresh-pressed" Over-the-Counter bottled juices can be lacking in vitality, as they lose their nutritional value during packaging, storage, and transportation. After all that, they're also - still - sitting on the shelf of a store under those horrible fluorescent lights for X amount of time before being purchased or discarded.

Fresh, Home-made juice is at its prime for about 24 hours, and after that, it begins to oxidize and lose its precious phytonutrient value after 24 hours. If Storage is necessary, remember to work to consume your juice within the 24-48 hour period, and keep it refrigerated in an airtight container. I know we all live in a fast paced world, and we're all moving at the "speed of light."

It's important to remember to slow down and take care of yourself. Allow yourself to rest, recover, and heal; especially in taking these healing steps.

Schedule it in and Honor it as a commitment to spend time nurturing your energetic battery to be productive at work and play! If you seek to reap the true benefits of living plant juices as Natural Medicine, prioritize the freshness of the juice, and make it fresh at home or made fresh at the local juicer.

Fresh-pressed juices, consumed shortly after preparation, provide the Pure and Vibrant essence of the plant; an abundant and potent source of hydration. An Elixir for Restoration of Health and Vitality in Mind-Body-and Spirit.
