Get Up

John’s day starts at 7am with a 300ml Green Juice made from Celery, Cucumber, Spinach, Kale, Lemon and Ginger. Breakfast is followed at 7.30 with a bowl of Organic Muesli with a mixture of Organic spelt puffs and 4 types of organic Omega 3 seeds and some rice milk.

Swimming Time

Then its off to the pool 5 days a week for his daily 1.25 km swim followed by stretching exercise’s and straight to work for 9.30 am. At 10.30 he takes a double shot of juiced wheatgrass with the Greenvalu juicer and tries to take the same again in the afternoon. Wheat grass juice helps your body to build red blood cells, which carry oxygen to every cell. By increasing the oxygenation in your body you can increase your endurance during physical exercise and increase your energy levels.

John’s energy levels have really increased and he puts this down to wheatgrass and green juicing in conjunction with a balanced diet allowing him to train hard every day.

Keep up the good work John.

Since I started juicing four months ago, my attitude to vegetables also changed completely. I used to eat very little veg, and I never imagined drinking my “5 a day” in a glass of juice. My diet and attitude to food has become healthy without even thinking too much about it.

I look forward to having my low sugar green juice every morning, using Cucumber, Celery, Green Apple, Ginger, Spinach and a little bit of lime. The kids love apple, carrot and celery. It is great to see them getting plenty of nutrition through raw fruit and veg, and they get really excited about making a juice. They love just watching the food grinding through the machine!

Being a busy full-time mother, it is great to have a juicer that is so easy to clean. I just give the parts a rinse under the tap, before heading out the door for the school run.

I have more motivation and energy with my new healthy eating habits. I still have my Chinese at the weekend, but I am eating little or no junk food during the week when I kick start my days with a green juice. When my friends call, they ask me to make them a juice instead of a tea or coffee!

I found Ciaran from GreenValu very helpful in getting me started and explaining how the GreenValu juicer works and spares the enzymes in the food. I am delighted to be juicing and feeling great. I would highly recommend it.

The post Eva’s Weightloss Success! appeared first on GreenValu.

My name is Anthony Fagan. Since I started juicing and sprouting over a month ago, my training ability has just gone through the roof.
I work out in the gym and I practice Krav Maga and Muay Thai, both are forms of unarmed combat which are highly demanding – physically and mentally.
I have always enjoyed physical training and exercise, but I honestly believe juicing has brought me to the next level. I have never been in better shape than I am now.
Before I started drinking green juice, I had been training once a day. Now, I have so much energy that I am training twice a day. My recovery time is much quicker too.
In the mornings, I have a wheatgrass shot which gives me a great kickstart. I follow this with a green juice made with celery, cucumber, spinach, kale, ginger, and half a lime. I also add beetroot or Pok Choi, I try to keep it as low sugar as possible. I have a second juice in the evening.
I have always had what I would consider a healthy diet, but now I feel I have stepped that up a notch and my diet is totally clean. I still eat chicken or fish once a day.
I work in construction and as a night club door man. Whether I am working a late night shift, or on a building site, I make a green juice before I go to work and I take a sprout pitta bread with me to keep my energy levels high. This also prevents me from eating any junk food.
I had done a lot of research on juicer machines before I invested in my GreenValu juicer, and I have definitely made the right choice. I also buy all my organic food products from GreenValu and find Ciaran great to deal with.
Cheers.
Anthony.

The post Anthony Fagan’s Super Training Results! appeared first on GreenValu.

Lunch was a quick stop, usually a drive through McDonalds or a Subway with as much meat as possible jammed into a roll. Dinner was the only healthy sit down meal that I had, prepared by my wife Pamela, once there was plenty of meat I was happy. I’m five foot eight inches in height and towards the end of last year when my weight hit fourteen and a half stone I said enough was enough.

Exercise to me was always put on the long finger. I could make up one hundred and one excuses not to exercise rather than get off the couch and get out for a walk. Weekdays were spent going to work and collapsing in front of the telly every night. I had absolutely no energy to do anything once I came home from work.   Training an U14s Football team, twice a week, became a struggle when I couldn’t keep up with the kids, constantly out of breath trying to explain to them what we were going to do next. This is when I got talking to John Price from Greenvalu and his advice literally changed my life.

My Juicing Journey

John explained the health benefits of juicing and sprouting to me and my wife Pamela. He also showed us how simple it was to start. I liked what I heard as it was generally common sense and I purchased a Greenvalu juicer and immediately started juicing my own drinks and growing my own super food sprouts at home in my kitchen and once I started taking these super foods I felt and instant effect.

Within the first week, I had lost half a stone with enough energy to get out every night for a brisk walk. After the first week I start jogging, something I haven’t done since my teens, every second night I would run 5km and on the weekend I would run 10km. My time for a 10Km run is now 57 minutes. Then I started taking a shot of wheatgrass before breakfast every morning. This is a miracle drink full of goodness and an absolute must for anyone that wants to increase their energy levels. To my amazement Pamela also started taking wheatgrass shots. Pamela is a good runner and feels it is helping her energy and stamina and she is feeling really good.

Now my typical daily food intake is like this, I start every morning by juicing a pint of green juice with my Greenvalu Juicer, followed by a shot of wheatgrass. The green juice consists of an apple, lemon, lime, celery, cucumber, spinach & ginger. This is followed by a bowl of organic muesli with rice milk and a mug of tea. This nutritious breakfast gives me everything I need and more to start my day with energy.

For lunch I now make my own wholegrain pitta breads with mango chutney, organic mustard, egg free mayo with chopped tomatoes, onion, cucumber and red pepper. I normally bring two to work with me and each pitta bread is bursting with a selection of super food sprouts including alfalfa and mungbean. I have a fillet of chicken or fish with roasted vegetables or wholegrain rice or couscous for dinner.I have cut out all rubbish foods and limited my meat & dairy intake. I have lost two stone in weight and I am on track to shed another stone, hopefully before I hit 42. I don’t look on this as a diet, I look on it as being a healthy lifestyle. I find myself bursting with energy, being able to enjoy quality time with my family and we partake in plenty of outdoor activities. This time last year I was a walking heart attack and I can only look forward now to a healthy future thanks to Greenvalu.

Just one shot of wheatgrass juice will provide you with the vitamins and minerals of 2 pounds of leafy green vegetables.
Wheatgrass juice contains 90 out of 102 vitamins, minerals and nutrients including vitamins A, B, C, E and K. It includes high concentrations of the most alkaline minerals: calcium, potassium, magnesium and sodium.
Wheatgrass also contains 12 amino acids including the 8 essential amino acids that the body cannot produce and can only obtain through diet. These are phenylalanine, valine, threonine, tryptophan, isoleucine, methionine, leucine and lysine.

Boosts your immune system

Wheatgrass is a living food, which can help the body fight off infection. Being highly anti-bacterial, wheatgrass juice helps to alkalise and detoxify the lymph and blood cells, allowing the body to rebuild and carry toxins out of the body quickly and effectively.

Rich in chlorophyll

Wheatgrass contains more than 70% chlorophyll, which has a molecular structure almost identical to the haemoglobin molecule of our human blood. The central element in chlorophyll is magnesium and in haemoglobin it is iron. This similarity allows the body to easily transform chlorophyll into haemoglobin, increasing the red blood cell count and the blood’s capacity to transport oxygen to our tissues and vital organs. This can also help increase endurance during physical exercise.

Detoxifies

Chlorophyll also acts as a cleansing agent in the human body, helping to purify the liver of toxins. Heavy metals such as mercury, aluminium and lead that can build up in the body, can be removed with the help of wheatgrass juice. Impacted waste in the colon is also broken up by chlorophyll during the detoxification process.

Anti-inflammatory

Wheatgrass reduces toxins in the blood that collect around the joints to cause pain and swelling. Symptoms of chronic conditions such as arthritis can be alleviated. It also contains the enzyme P4D1 which stimulates the renewal of nucleic acid (RNA/DNA). This acts as an anti-inflammatory agent.

Anti-carcinogenic

Since oxygen plays a role in combating cancer cells, wheatgrass juice can be considered helpful in the fight against cancer. The chlorophyll content increases haemoglobin production, which in turn produces more oxygen for the body. So as the oxygen may assist in preventing the cancer from invading the body, the vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, found in wheatgrass strengthen the body’s immune system. The chlorophyll found in wheatgrass is the body’s offence, and the other nutrients which make the body stronger form the defence. Weight Loss
The high nutritional value of wheatgrass can prevent food cravings that lead to overeating. Drinking wheatgrass juice can make you feel fuller faster, as your digestion is enhanced.

Anti Aging

Wheatgrass juice is rich in antioxidants which fight against the free-radicals that accelerate the aging process. It can promote youthfulness as the high magnesium content in chlorophyll builds enzymes that restore both male and female sex hormones.

The post Health benefits of juicing wheatgrass appeared first on GreenValu.

Last December, I took part in the Clonakilty Half Marathon, I really struggled with the training and felt sluggish and worn out after it took me 2 hours 12 mins . I also put a half stone on over Christmas and made a conscious decision in January to try make a change to my eating habits. I was 13 stone on 14 January and I decided I had to nip this in the bud. So hearing about the benefits of Juicing I decided to give it a go and along with that I started growing my own sprouts and wheatgrass with expert guidance from John Price of Greenvalu. To my surprise this was very simple and easy to start.

Juicing

The family thought I was going mad but after a week of making Juice for them every morning they started to see the benefits. Juicing fresh fruit and vegetables is an easy way to extract the vitamins and minerals and put them start into your digestive system. Your body absorbs this within 15 minutes of drinking your juice. So each morning now we have Juice from cucumber, celery, apple, orange, spinach and lemon; all juiced in Greenvalu’s masticating juicer which is a doodle to use and so easy to clean. I have Laura my wife on board and my daughters Ciara and Louise and Jack, my son won’t leave the house without their juice. I am growing my own wheatgrass and try to have a shot per day or sometimes mixed it with the juice.

Sprouting

I’ve also started sprouting my own super foods which include alfalfa, broccoli ,radish, and clover sprouts. I’m having to hide them from the family now because everyone loves them.

Health Improvements

My running, sleep, stamina, skin, weight and overall well being has improved immensely. I’ve lost a stone in 5 weeks, my recovery from training /Running is much better. I finished the Mount Juliet Half Marathon on 16th February in 2 hrs 4 mins – my best half marathon time in 5 years so needless to say I’m feeling the benefits and going to keep this up.
One thing about this simple lifestyle change – it’s easy once you make the decision to do it and also I go easy on myself if I have an off day and have a desert or something because I know I can get back on track straight.

Within a short period of time if you juice daily, you may notice a great improvement in your energy levels and sense of all round well-being. The reason for this is because you get more nutrients by consuming the juice of fruits and vegetables than by eating them. Fresh fruit and vegetable juice contains essential vitamins, enzymes and minerals which can sustain a high quality of life in a healthy body. The use of juicers and juicing liquid nutrition from vegetables and fruits is still relatively new to most people’s diets. We hope you enjoy juicing and the benefits that come with it.

The juicing recipes below are great, simple and easy. We encourage you to use them and experiment with different combinations of juices on your own.

Preparation for Juicing - The Power of Juicing

1. Wash all produce before juicing. Try to use organic produce where possible.
2. Leafy greens, wheat grass and sprouts should be bunched up and pushed through your juicer with the plunger.
3. All organic fruits such as lemons, limes, apples, pears, etc can be juiced with the skin or rind.
4. Always check your produce before juicing. Ensure it is fresh and trim away any discoloured or bruised sections.
5. Drink juice right after you make them so that you keep nutrient loss at a minimum.
