Health & Wellness At 83 Juicing Changed Everything Life Over 60

Hello and welcome. About six weeks ago, while watching a documentary on Netflix, I had a really big aha moment. Isn't it true? The older we get, the more we think about our health and our wellness. And we are more conscious of what we put in our body to keep us feeling the best that we can. Hello, this is Sandra Hart at Life Covers 60. Thank you so much for joining me today. I really appreciate you coming back just to spend a short time with me. Remember several, maybe a couple of months ago now, that I did the whole body reset video. I'm still doing that, but I had a great big aha moment when I watched a Netflix video about six weeks ago. It was all about Joe Cross, who is an Australian. He was fat, sick, and nearly dead, as his title of his Netflix documentary is. He came to the United States and traveled all over the United States with his juicer. And during that time, he introduced people to juicing. He exercised, he juiced, and he, for 60 days, only drank nutrient-rich juices. By the end of the 60 days, he had crossed the country, and he had lost tons of weight. All of his signs of being fat, of being unhealthy, were gone. And along the way, he also met other people who started juicing. And one man was really, really sick. He was a truck driver, extremely sick. And he reached out to Joe after his meeting him on the road. He was diabetic, extremely overweight. And you have to watch this documentary to see exactly what happened to him at the end of his juicing journey. Now, juicing may not be for everyone. But for me, it was what I needed right now, because I have been under so much stress being a caretaker to my husband. I never, ever thought about juicing before. It wasn't even in my wheelhouse. I never thought about it. But once I watched this video, I decided, I'm going to buy a juicer, and I'm really going to try this. It has absolutely been amazing. Before I started juicing, my SED rate was very high. And that SED rate is caused by stress. And that's actually the inflammation in your body was caused by stress of all the tasks that I have now on top of my real life here in my home. I had my SED rate tested just recently, and it has gone way down to normal, just because the only thing I changed in my life was juicing, drinking two glasses of juice every day. Now, some people want to lose weight, and when they want to lose weight, that's a different program. You will be juicing on a regular basis. And as I said, you really should speak to your doctor before you start any kind of program like that. But for me, I just wanted to lower my stress level. I wanted to feel better. I wanted to have more energy. And these are the five things that can happen when you juice. You increase the amount of vitamins and minerals that you have in your body. There is absolutely no way that you can eat as much kale and greens and vegetables and fruits in a day that you can do by juicing. You get all of those ingredients just in a glass of juice. That has been a miracle for me. My energy has increased. I used to go to bed exhausted. I would toss and turn and really not be able to get into a deep REM sleep because I was stressed out. But I found out that after several weeks of juicing, my energy levels just went through the roof. I couldn't believe it. I had energy. I would go to bed at night. I would sleep soundly, get into a deep REM sleep. And during the day when I had to take care of my husband and do my regular life routine things, I really have so much more energy. And also, my doctor did tell me that when by juicing, I really am preventing myself from having diseases because you are healthier. They say that juicing can reduce your chances of getting cancer because it boosts your immune system and removes toxins from your body. It really has helped me with my digestion and, you know, it hasn't helped me lose weight because I am not wanting to lose weight and I'm only drinking two glasses of juice a day. And I have decided for on a long-term basis, and I've read enough about juicing to know that on a long-term basis, I am going to be always drinking two glasses of green juice and vegetable and fruit juices every single day. Just two glasses along with my whole body diet. The fact that as we get older, our immune system gets lower. I want to do everything I can to keep my immune system as high as possible naturally. With COVID and re-COVID and all of the things that are going on in the world today, I want to try to be sure that I am as healthy as I can be at 83 so that I will be less likely to succumb to any of these illnesses. And if I do get sick, I know because my immune system is strong, I should be able to get better quicker. Please watch Joe Cross's video if you are interested in juicing. He's on YouTube and watch his Netflix documentary, Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. And I think it will be an eye-opener to you. It will be your choice and perhaps a discussion with your doctor as to whether you want to juice. But I'm just telling you honestly that it really has improved my stress level and my energy and my quality of life so very much. Thank you for staying around for this conversation today. I really hope that you'll do something wonderful for yourself. Be kind to whomever crosses your path. Of course, we all want to share the love. Pray for world peace and golly, take care of yourself because you want to be here on this planet. And while you are here, you want to be able to live the very best life that you can. I hope to see you again next Tuesday and remember I read every single comment and I love having every one of you here in this community with me. Take care and I'll see you on Tuesday.
