End of Day 7

I'm thinking I should post pics, to show how much the puffiness in my face has gone down. I am definately breathing much easier. The seaweed in the juice is supposed to be anti-inflammatory and I have noticed a huge release in my chest and nasal passages. I have not suffered from dry mouth for a couple of days too, and I think I mentioned before that I am not having to drink anywhere near as much water as I was before. I was trying to do four to six cups of water a day to re-hydrate because I felt so dried out. I now feel like water is actually being absorbed into my body. It's a really nice feeling to be able to generate saliva again and not because I just inhaled a whole tonne of water.
Weird, I would never have thought a change like this would happen but the only thing that is new in my diet and habits is the YJ. Yep, I'm shorting to the acronym....

Day 7

I cannot believe how good I feel. I really feel how I did a couple of years ago, before I started my "middle aged" slide down the getting old slope. I am noticing things that I had adjusted to as just age, muscle fatigue was huge. I just feel now like there is no effort to sit up straight, it just happens, and picking up heavier things is not leaving my muscles shakey anymore. Only one week in and I'm feeling like this. Wow. Really, wow. I should have started drinking Youth Juice a long, long time ago.
Plus the allergies are starting to ease up, I am sleeping better because I am not all stuffed up anymore. My eye puffiness is easing up within an hour of waking up, which previous to Youth Juice was taking six hours to clear. I am also processing water more effectively, I do not have to drink two large glasses to feel re-hydrated. Interesting...

Day 6

Today's comment is that my skin is looking better, the color has life to it. Enough that one of my children commented on it!

Day Five

I have a mental clarity that hasn't been here for years. I'm really surprised at the short term benefits that I have gotten already from Youth Juice. I can't imagine how I will feel in a year. I feel like I'm writing about a miracle cure, when all I'm writing about is a pure juice that is utilizing berries, seaweed and vitamins. Crazy how I've denied my body for so many years, and it was really feeling it, even more than I realised.

So today, where I usually lay around and read or surf, I've been doing stuff with the family. My hubby is used to me staying home when we need to go out and do something, and I've gone on each outing today. Including taking our dog out to a nearby field. We dug out a "fort" and sat in it while the dog tried to dig mice out of the three feet deep snow. I rarely go out on dog treks anyways and when I get back I would have to rest because I'd be sapped of energy.

This is so cool.

End of Day Four

Here I am at the end of another busy day, and I feel sleepy but good. I have to compare my normal days to today.

Normal day:
Wake up 7am, out of school care kids arrive 7:45 or so, take kids to school (so exercise from walking), sit at computer for two hours usually perusing GreenDay.com or the Cheezburger Network, grab a shower, make lunch, tidy or nap or deliver AVON, put in AVON orders, pick up kids, referee kids for two hours while making supper, hang with family, go to bed.

Yesterday:

Cleaned house. Didn't lay down at all because I just simply didn't want to.

Today:

Wake up, kids, grocery shopping, colored hair while also researching project, caught up dishes and tidied kitchen, made a decent lunch, mailed parcel, AVON orders, went to BestBuy and bought MegaMind, dropped one of mine at the mall after school, picked up kids, entered more AVON orders, refereed them and made supper, made up face and hair, worked three hours at my friend's cafe which included baking cookies, and now catching up whatever else needs to be done online before bed.

What I am really liking is I seem to have found what my body has been needing to accomplish a normal day, like everybody else seems to have. I have never understood how people could always be going from one thing to another, except that maybe they just felt good and liked doing that. I am now beginning to understand that....

Wow, I didn't think this would become an actual life altering event by starting to drink Youth Juice but I'm seeing changes that I could never have expected.

Day Four

I don't feel hyper or spazzy, just energized. I have already hit the bank, gone grocery shopping, and worked on my latest project while knocking off a few loads of dishes (I hate dishwashers, huge energy and water waste and my dishes never came out clean). I'm thinking I'll run the vaccuum around and mop the floor. Oh, and I dyed my hair in there too.

I never do this much in a morning. Ever. My focus is hugely improved. I was able to hang my head upside for ten minutes while rinsing out my hair without feeling like I was going to faint when I stood up. I didn't even realise that until I typed about dying my hair. Amazing what I've gotten used to over the years as my body has lost it's youthfulness.

I'm a classic case of self diagnosed chronic fatigue syndrome, never able to do much and needed to rest to recover from normal housework. I like this change.

Day Three continues...

Over the past year, my eyesight has started to go, I've enjoyed 20/20 for most of my life. Now, well, reading glasses are going to be necessary for detail work like threading a needle. I also noticed difficulty tracking moving objects, like my child jumping up and down in front of me and I'm trying to focus on their face. My eyes couldn't keep up.

So this afternoon, with this new strength I'm feeling, I was jumping around in front of my kid. And my eyes were tracking no problem.

I hope this makes sense, it's very cool for me because I was getting headaches from the eye strain! I can't see it just being feeling better from excitement about the new stuff happening in my life. It has to be I'm getting the nutrients I've been needing and my body is putting the Youth Juice to good work.

Day Three so far...

Had my daily shot before walking the kids to school, while walking back I realised I again (like yesterday) don't have that fuzzy tired feeling in my eyes. And I feel "strong" again. Like I did five years ago. I think this juice is providing what I've been craving for a long time. This is really cool....

Just to add, I have anxiety disorder, so I always shake and almost always feel physically drained. When I say "strong" I'm trying to describe the opposite of that drained feeling. This morning my hands are not shaking when at rest.

Second Day

I had my first shot of Youth Juice late afternoon yesterday, and my second this morning. My first note is that I feel strong (for lack of a better word), and my head more clear. Now it's either because I'm on a high from my business plotting for the future or it's this juice giving my body the essentials it needs. I am using the vitamin fortified version, there is also the straight berry, veggie and seaweed version as well. The ingredients are:

Elderberry
Red Raspberry
Blueberry
Blackberry
Boysenberry
Blackcurrant
Cranberry
Kombu Fucoidan
Bladderwrack
Sea Lettuce

All this is straight from B.C. Canada. Nummy!

I'm looking forward to seeing how I'm feeling by the end of this first week of use. Today I noticed a cleansing effect through my system already. And I'm not going to say more than that. I've also accomplished about double today what I normally do, including alot of cleaning!

Why Youth Juice

I signed up for selling Youth Juice today. I've barely used it because I'm a stay at home mom who can only afford so much. But....and a big but here, I watched my friend use it for the past year and she had collitis. HAD. She has passed her family doctor's examination and he determined he can see no symptoms of the disease and as far as he can say, she appears to be cured. She fully believes that Youth Juice has cured her of the disease.

Now, I'm getting old and I want something that is going to help me get back to what I used to be. I know I do not eat enough vegetables and fruits. I take vitamins irregularly. I've said it on my AVON blog, I am lazy! I want fast and easy. And I think this might do it for me.

That being said, I am going to blog my day to day experiences with Youth Juice. This is not day one, I have no product, yet.....
