Day #5 On The Green Smoothie Challenge:
Fiber In Celery And Other Leafy Greens

The fiber in celery, kale and other leafy greens is one of our most important source for elimination. Without proper elimination our body reabsorbs the toxins it is so readily working to eliminate.

"The human body is built miraculously in such a way that almost all the toxins from every part of the body, including millions of dead cells, end up in the human sewage system daily- the colon." (Victoria Boutenko, Green For Life) In order to get rid of these dead cells and toxins within our colon requires fiber in celery and other greens, fruits, and other fresh foods!

When I first started my health regime I began juicing. When I was finished juicing I realized I was left with lots of waste more than the juice. This was all the fiber I was taking out of the greens, non sweet fruits and tubers I was juicing. The fiber in celery, greens and other plant-based foods is one of the most important parts.

There are 2 main kinds of fiber:

Soluble Fiber

Fruit
Beans
Peas
Oak Bran
Chia Seeds

Improves bowl movements by increasing the volume of bulk in the colon. "Soluble fiber binds together cholesterol in the small intestines and takes it out of the body."* Soluble fiber also reduces the risk of diabetes by slowing down the release of sugars contained in the foods we eat.

Insoluble Fiber

Greens
Peels
Nuts
Seeds
Beans
Skin of Grains

Insoluble fiber, like the fiber in celery and other greens, is basically a special sponge. Each piece of this special sponge can absorb many times more toxins than its own volume. These specially insoluble fiber sponges take the toxins out of the body to the sewer system.

Loving Myself

I love how focused I can be. When I want a project do that I believe in and feel inspired about I go full force head on. I love also that I am wanting to experience the flow allowing myself to stop and take time with myself and those I love around me. I am wanting more balance in my life and I love that I am coming to it day be day.

Emotional, Physical And Mental Awareness

Emotionally, feeling uptight at those around me. Although for some reason I am also feeling like I want to be more allowing. I can see myself becoming more and more allowing with others and staying in my business.

Physically: I like to workout for at least 1 hour. Today I only got 25 minutes in. My goal is to increase my yoga workouts to 3 to 4 a week.

Mentally: Feeling like I could write for hours. I like to be conscious of time I still want to take for myself and my family.
