How Juicing Is Effecting My Blood Pressure And Pulse Rate

Before I began juicing, my blood pressure was around 126/76.

Since I have been juicing my blood pressure has gone down to 100/70.

Nurses have taken my blood pressure twice in the past few weeks.

Also I wear a fit bit so I can watch my pulse rate.

Before juicing, my resting pulse rate was up around 76 bpm now it is around 67 bpm.

Juicing is definitely helping with my pulse rate and blood pressure!

Juice With Garlic

Today I am making a juice from:
- 1 inch of ginger 
- one Roma tomato 
- one clove of garlic 
- one lemon 
- one green apple 
- and one celery stalk.

It's a beautiful color, but a bit earthy for me.  I can taste the garlic a little.  The lemon and Green apple help to cover up the earthiness of the garlic and the beat. Taste very healthy and I can feel like it's killing germs in my throat. This would be a good juice for fighting off a cold and giving energy.

A Little Bit About Me And Why I Am Juicing.

Hello everyone!  I started juicing recently to get rid of sinus and lung inflammation and to get off all the medication I am on.  I have chronic asthma and sinusitis.  I would love to not wheeze all the time.

To control my asthma, allergies and sinusitis I am on a list of medications including: antibiotics, steroids, inhalers, nose sprays and a handful of pills each day.  I still wheeze every day and have chronic inflammation in my lungs and sinuses.   I am only in my 30's!

Since the medication does not seem to be working and is filling me with toxins, I have decided to try a few different alternative medicines.

I am allergic to Brazil Nuts and I am lactose intolerant.  I cut out all dairy and it seemed to help a little.  I went to a Naturopath doctor who did some blood work on me and found that I also have an allergy to eggs, soy and dairy and a gluten sensitivity.  I cut it all out of my diet.  That seemed to help a little bit more, but I still needed something more.

I started researching cleanses and juicing.  I came to find out that all the medicine I am putting into my body is causing more harm than good.  I am building a toxic arsenal in my body which could be causing my symptoms. A deep cleanse would help me get back on the road to recovery.

Right now, I am on antibiotics and steroids for a sinus infection and asthma exacerbation.  Last week, I started juicing once a day to get more nutrients into my body and flush the toxins out.  This week, I began juicing twice a day.  I still eat Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner but they are much lighter than before.

Next week, when I finish my antibiotics and steroids, I will began my 15 day fungal cleanse to remove any yeast, mold or candida that may be wreaking havoc in my system.  I hope to replace one meal a day with a juice at that point.

Follow me on my journey to better health!
