Spinach - An Iron Rich Food

I was a Popeye's fan and made to believe during my teenage years that if you ate spinach you could do anything! 

Now as I look at the nutritional properties of spinach I have discovered that it is an iron-rich food and also a good source of iodine, vitamin A, B complex 
vitamins, vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and trace elements. It is also extremely rich in antioxidants

Drink Fresh Vegetable and Fruit Juices

Fruit juices are the cleansers of the human system. Vegetable juices are the builders, feeders and regenerators of the body.  When we run vegetables and fruits through a juicer prior to placing it into our body, that juicer will do much of the work normally done by the digestive system.  And that is, the juicer separates the pulp and fibre from the juice before we place the vegetables and fruits into our body. When we drink that juice, which now contains no fibre, it does not have to go through the digestive process. So when we drink just the juice preferably on an empty stomach before Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner, the juice can go almost intravenously into the blood system.  When we consume the vegetables and fruits in the form of juice and without the fibre, over 92% of the nutrients reach cellular level within 10 to 15 minutes.   During this time, avoid eating food to allow the nutrients to be absorbed into the body.

In short when you drink 100% freshly extracted juices, you are guaranteed of zero refined sugar, zero syrup, zero colouring, zero artificial flavours, zero additives and zero carbonation!
