Flu Prevention VS Flu Jab

13/1/2016

While Flu Jab is probably necessary in many cases, there might be more than one way to prevent flu in the first place. 
   Many studies suggest that optimal nutrition (using nutrient-dense food) and efficient Liver Detoxification, and elimination channels, is enough to keep your body's defence in order. 
   A strong immune system is the best defence against viruses and bacteria as a whole. 
   Remember that your immunity is impacted by Chronic Stress and Anxiety, lack of sleep, food intolerances, and any inflammation occurring in the body, and subsequently Metabolic Syndrome, including Diabetes, and High Blood Pressure, and Dyslipidemia (lt. Coronary and Heart Disease). 
Detoxication is a very complex process, and it requires a huge amount of energy, and a large selection of nutrients (see illustrations below). This juice is packed with essential nutrients necessary for Liver Detoxification, but also fibre, necessary for proper bowel movement and elimination of toxins released by the liver via the bile. 


Ingredients (use Organic as much as possible)
– Serves 1 Large Glass

6   Each      Celery Stick
2   Each      Medium-size Carrot
1   Each      Beetroot
1   Piece     Fresh Ginger (thumb size)
1   Each      Garlic Cloves
½  Each      Lemon Juice
1   Scoop   Raw Protein Powder
1   Tsp        Chlorella
1   Tsp        Maca Powder
1   Tsp        Powdered Pink Grapefruit and Lemon Rind

   Place everything in the blender. Drink immediately. 
   Add Greens (e.g. Kale, etc.) to pack even more sulphur-rich and Folate molecules to assist the liver and the methylation process.
   You can also use a spray or tablet of B Vitamins, to support and boost both cycles.   

   Remember to get plenty of sleep and exercise to keep the body moving, and assist the immune system as a whole.

​Liver Detoxification


The Liver works very hard, every second of the day:

Methylation Cycle. 

​This may look complicated but what is necessary to visualise is the nutrients needed to deactivate Homocysteine, one of the most detrimental molecule within the body, which has been linked to Coronary and Heart disease.
