Make this healing and energy-packed fruit smoothie your daily morning drink.

Slows down the aging process while helping you fight disease and lose weight

When I had cancer, I made a carefully thought-out decision to put a lot of effort into using natural healing before indulging in modern medicine. I spent a great deal of time studying Chinese, Ayurvedic, European herbal medicine, herbal healing, and many other styles of natural healing. I finally decided to take the advice of a Thompsonian naturopathic doctor. His was the first piece of advice that made it very clear how I got sick and how I would recover. The first thing he said to me was “make a fruit smoothie every morning for breakfast for the rest of your life.” That was twenty years ago and I have not deviated from that advice and it has turned out to be one of the best decisions I have ever made. You may be wondering, as I did, “why do I need to make a fruit smoothie for breakfast? What good will it do me?” Here’s why. In the United States, the average person eats a diet made up primarily of acidic foods (meat, dairy, grains, vegetables, etc.). Eating a diet made up primarily of these types of foods encourages an acidic environment in your body.

The ph of most Americans is around 5.5, which is too acidic. A healthy human body has a ph of between 6.5 and 7.5 ph. Allowing this acidic environment to exist in your body is one of the biggest known threats to human health. An acidic environment leads to heart disease, cancer, diseases caused by viruses and germs, arthritis, allergies, metabolism problems, weight gain, psychological problems, hormonal imbalances, etc. The fruit smoothie you suggested I use to help me fight cancer is made entirely of fruits and some natural healing herbs that are alkaline (vegetables are also alkaline). This shake helped me neutralize the acidic environment in my body. When I started making this drink, I had been sick for some time. My energy was low; I had gained a lot of weight, had digestion problems, acid reflux, felt bloated, gassy, ​​spastic bowel, blood in my stool, and no appetite. I also had lower back pain, knee and ankle problems and stiffness all over. Long story short, I was a physical wreck, which was very depressing because I had a second degree black belt in Kempo Karate and only a few years before that I was in my best physical condition. So, I started making and drinking The Morning Drink every morning. I liked it right away because I could put my favorite seasonal fruit in it and the flavor was great. It wasn’t long before I noticed my energy coming back. Then my stomach problems started to go away and it wasn’t long before my appetite returned and my weight came off. The weight change was dramatic. In about three months I was down to the weight I was when I got my black belt, one hundred and seventy pounds. I was overjoyed at that and has stayed the same ever since. But, just so you know; I did much more than The Morning Drink to beat the cancer I had.

Benefits of the morning drink What did the morning drink do to my body that fostered a natural herbal healing effect? As we discussed at the beginning of this article, The Morning Drink provides alkaline to the body to neutralize the ph and balance the body’s environment. This only increases oxygen, cleanses the tissues, and heals inflammation. It also helps kill cancer cells because cancer dies in an environment where there is oxygen. This new environment also encourages a stronger immune system. This drink has a purifying and detoxifying effect, eliminating toxins that can distract the immune system from its main task, defending the body. Finally, The Morning Drink provides vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates and proteins in a form of food that is very easy to digest. Then, because the drink is fresh and raw, it brings a lot of enzymes with it. Enzymes are the great mystery of nutrition. Without them we are dead, there is no digestion and absorption, there is no cleansing, there is no movement, there are no thoughts, there is no energy. This drink brings with it a large amount of enzymes to start the day. Enzymes are the ultimate in anti-inflammatories, relieving inflammation and repairing injury. You can take the best and most expensive multivitamin in the world and you won’t get anything without enzymes. They are the great catalyst for the body. Like the spark plugs in your car, without them there is no energy, nothing.

The rules of the morning drink OK lets start! It is easy to do and you will love this natural healing remedy. There are a few rules listed below, but they are easy to follow.Rule one: I’ll tell you exactly what they told me. You have this drink every morning for breakfast for the rest of your life! The morning drink will help quickly balance your body’s ph (the acid-alkaline balance); fruits and vegetables are alkaline everything else is acidic. Balancing your body’s ph is one of the main keys to health and healing.rule two: This is an alkaline drink, do not add any acidic ingredients to it. I don’t see much protein there; Can I add some protein powder? DO NOT add protein powders or protein-containing foods like eggs, dairy, yogurt, or tofu to this drink! Some of them are good for you, but they are sour for one thing. On the other hand, it is a problem for the liver and gallbladder to process fruit that is digested in one hour with protein that is digested in two to three hours. But guess that; This drink with its fruit mix contains all the building blocks of protein called amino acids. So that your body can create protein from this drink if it needs to. Once again, fruit is a food that is not mixed with any other food.But what about my regular breakfast of bacon, eggs, toast, and coffee? If you have a life-threatening illness, see my article “I’m sick, where do I start?”. If you do not have a life-threatening illness, eat your usual breakfast an hour or later. But speaking from experience, I would drop that and use the drink for breakfast or have a modified alkaline breakfast with lots of vegetables an hour later. What you eat later will be easier to digest because this drink is loaded with digestive enzymes.morning drink recipe Fifteen minutes before making this drink, drink at least 12 to 16 ounces of water (preferably distilled) to begin the cleansing process for this drink. Ingredients: (make fresh daily and vary amounts to suit your taste and appetite)

-8 ounces (more or less) of pure water (distilled is best) and 8 ounces of organic juice (apple, grape, etc.) -1 banana. -A pinch of cayenne pepper more or less to taste (natural healing herb). -A piece of ginger; thumb size (a natural healing herb). -Fresh seasonal fruit; pear, grape, peach, (organic if you can get it). -A quarter to half a lemon, include a small amount of peel if you like, very good for both the liver and the gallbladder. -Add a tablespoon of coconut, olive or peanut oil (cold pressed) for your skin and joints. -A scoop of green superfoods (explode every cell in your body with nutrient-dense organic vitamins and minerals to give you more energy than ever before). -Put the above in a blender, blend and drink. *Adjust the above to your liking and the amount you make.

Questions You May Have About DrinkingWhat about the sugar content of this drink? These are whole fruits that your digestive system and pancreas must process like any other food. This is not like eating refined sugar or the refined fruit juices from the grocery store. If you are diabetic, take a small amount, monitor your blood sugar, and use accordingly. By all means consult with your doctor. I had my blood sugar checked recently and the doctor commented that he was surprised at how balanced my blood sugar was considering my age which is sixty four. As I said before, I have been drinking this drink every morning for the last twenty years. What is it with this drink that feeds my Candida and makes it worse? This drink will help you heal your gastrointestinal tract. Candida is a sign of a leaky gut. Take in some gut flora through a probiotic supplement; this will bring you much relief while healing your gastrointestinal tract. Take the probiotics on an empty stomach, when you eat, before bed, and whenever you think about it until you feel the problem is resolved. To learn about the intestinal flora, read my article on Acidophilus.My bowls are loose at times; Won’t this drink make that worse? Loose intestines are a sign of a lack of balance in the intestinal flora in your gut. Take in some of this flora through a probiotic supplement; this will bring you much relief while healing your gastrointestinal tract. Take the probiotics on an empty stomach, when you eat, before bed, and whenever you think about it until you feel the problem is resolved.

Can I make this drink in bulk ahead of time and store it in the fridge? It must be made fresh every day because if you save it for the next day you will lose a lot of nutrition. You can do what I did to have more of the same batch of drink later in the day. When you make your breakfast drink, make an extra for the afternoon. To save that amount for the evening, place a freshly washed, damp glass or jar in the freezer to frost. For the afternoon quantity in that glass or jar and store in the refrigerator. What about making ice cream with the drink? If you can; During the summer I make a lot of ice creams with the morning drink. Add more bananas to change the texture. Another idea is to add mango as it will also change the texture. But don’t expect it to be like ice cream, it will be more like Italian ice cream, which I love.

Green Superfoods for Energy, Cancer Fighting and Diet: If you want to add more nutrition to this drink to help boost energy, slow the aging process, lose weight, or fight cancer, I suggest super green foods. Super green foods are a combination of foods like wheat grass, barley grass, alfalfa, spinach, spirulina blue-green algae, chlorella, kelp, etc. These green superfoods increase the nutritional content and alkalinity of this drink, just like any food you add them to. You will notice, as I did, a very subtle strong energy when adding this super green combination to your diet. When I had cancer I was advised to consume as much as I could each day. The Doctor said “super green foods are like high-octane fuel” that would instantly bring nutrient-dense, organic, whole-food vitamins and minerals to every cell in my body. The doctor also told me that they would protect and defend every cell in my body from free radical damage while I was fighting cancer. Even now I still take 2 or more scoops depending on how I feel that day. I have been drinking this morning beverage for twenty years; I recently took a test called “Real Age” online. I suggest you try taking this test yourself. Based on questions about your health collected by doctors, such as diet, exercise, blood pressure, etc. an age is assigned. I am sixty four years old, my score based on the answers I gave said “I was forty seven years old”. They suggested that they would have given me a score 2 years younger if I had taken an over the counter medication every day (I wrote back and told them to keep your 2 years and your medication and I will maintain my health). See the Nutrition section of my website to learn how to change your nutritional lifestyle.

Bail: Check with your doctor when beginning any nutrition program, especially if you are taking medication. Note: Remember when it comes to your health, you are the boss, all the final decisions are yours.
