Adding Water to Juice?
I read somewhere that I shouldn't drink water with my meals. I guess this doesn't apply to juice because I also read that I should add water to fill my container if I don't plan on drinking my juice right away. This morning I had about half green juice half pure water. Is this ok or is it too diluted? I'm still getting the nutrients, aren't I? Confused :(

Yes you shouldnt drink water with your meals, it dilutes the digestive juices in your stomach....nutrients wont get properly absorbed, this same princple applies to juices as well. Drink your water first and wait atleast 30mins and have your juice....why did you combine the two?

Thanks. I only had enough green juice to fill my bottle halfway & I read that it will oxidize unless you fill it up to the very top by adding water : /

I was listening to a podcast on oneradionetwork and the doc said adding raw honey to your juice will keep the enzymes intact, if you were planning on drink it later and not within the 15min

LOL well it seems logical to me, too, but a LOT of different sources I've read (Natalia Rose's books being one) have said that you shouldn't drink water with your meals because it dilutes your body's natural enzymes, making it harder to digest foods. *shrug*

Everyone has different opinions I guess. I for one am no expert in any food related field but it just seems to me that I digest food better drinking LOTS of water, and I feel better. I think it really goes back to doing what feels right to your own body... because we are all different!

I was told they are the end portion of a blood vessel that is very close to the surface of the skin
Cool....but what's wrong with lime peel?
well here in NZ your dogs must be microchipped now - compulsory! Now that is scary!
A food log is a great idea! I hope that you can isolate the cause. They didn't hurt or itch or anything like that, but they didn't look right. At first I thought it was skin cancer or something!

Yes- they're called petechiae and I've always heard that they are liver-related. They can also be due to anemia and low platelet count. If you also bruise easily, that might be the likely cause.
I get them too and they come and go.
Pink Lady Apple,
I used to get those. I know exactly what they look like - they are tiny, they can vary in size, they are circular, flat, and very red. They do look like blood blisters, but flat!
I stop getting them after I did an extended water...
than?
Id love to try Noni.

I really believe that is possible to heal all of the body...regeneration of tissue is not a far fetched concept. There is a case of a man who re-grew a finger, recently! I have to dig to find the article, but I read it on naturalnews.com. Mind you...
what thread?
