So, what do I juice? How do I know how much to use? Whatmixes well with what? These are <strong>the</strong> questions I am asked on adaily basis. The answer again is simple - try everything! I say,“Different strokes for different folks!” There is truth that manycitrus fruits do not mix well (meaning, lemons and oranges andgrapefruits) and <strong>the</strong> flavors tend to try to compete with eacho<strong>the</strong>r. Using a citrus fruit with some berries, carrots or an applewill produce more subtle blends. Apples blend well with almostanything and <strong>the</strong>y have a very low glycemic load so <strong>the</strong>y willnot explode <strong>the</strong> sugar content of your finished product like melonsand pineapples can. Apples can be dropped in <strong>the</strong> juicer oremulsifier, with skin intact with no worries; however, <strong>the</strong>yshould be cored to remove seeds as <strong>the</strong>y contain arsenic, a poisonoussubstance. Pits should also be removed from cherriesand o<strong>the</strong>r fruits. The rinds of citrus fruits should be removedbefore adding in ei<strong>the</strong>r machine.FARM MARKETOPEN ALL YEAR!Wed. 4pm-6pm.Sat 9am-2pm.O<strong>the</strong>r days by appt.620 Quarry Road • Harleysville, PA 19438215-513-15142013 Organic CSAShares AvailableUnbeatable Variety ofHeirloom Produce &Herbs, and HeritageBreed Proteins!w w w . q u a r r y h i l l f a r m . n e tReverse Diabetes?According to new research, type 2 diabetes can bereversed using a natural treatment approach. If youhave diabetes and you’re tired of swallowing pills andpricking your fingers, a must-read report was justreleased that may be able to help you.Most doctors fail to address <strong>the</strong> root cause ofdiabetes and are too quick to push drugs as <strong>the</strong> onlyoption. After years of using medication withoutaddressing <strong>the</strong> cause, doctors often recommendinsulin. This approach is like pouring gasoline on <strong>the</strong>fire and can ultimately make your condition worse.If you are tired of wasting valuable time playing“trial and error” with medications as your conditiongradually gets worse, it’s time to get serious.Call now for a free copy of this new report -800-757-3492 or www.diabeteshealthreport.com.There is a great push <strong>the</strong>se days (thankfully) towards organicproduce. I know, I know, it is SO EXPENSIVE to buy organic.Here is a little trick: don’t put as many processed foods andsweets in <strong>the</strong> shopping cart and put that money towards <strong>the</strong>organic produce. If you are not sure if your produce is organic,look at <strong>the</strong> sticker on it. If <strong>the</strong> number begins with a nine it isorganic. If <strong>the</strong>re is a number four, it is conventionally grownusing pesticides and insecticides. And if it begins with an eight,it is a GMO (genetically modified organism). Apples, strawberries,peaches, grapes, and o<strong>the</strong>r fruits that you will be consuming<strong>the</strong> skin of, should always be organic since that is where <strong>the</strong>chemicals build up. All vegetables should be organic as <strong>the</strong>whole plant is usually sprayed. This is your chance to support<strong>the</strong> local organic farmer, become part of a CSA (communitysupported agriculture) or go pick-your-own.Juicers and emulsifiers can cost anywhere from one hundred toone thousand dollars. Take careful time to select only whatoptions you really need. It will not take long for you to becomea juicing aficionado. Most people feel a noticeable difference inenergy and mental alertness on <strong>the</strong> first day and it only gets betterfrom <strong>the</strong>re. My advice is to take notes, write down <strong>the</strong> combinationsthat you liked <strong>the</strong> most. This practice will help youmake grocery store lists and limit guesswork, but never stopexperimenting. Try to keep a ratio of about half of your glassbeing greens like kale, collards, spinach and broccoli whileusing carrots and apples as mild sweeteners. Then start experimentingwith squash, sweet potatoes, cucumber, beets, cauliflowerand more.Happy juicing! I hope it brings you all <strong>the</strong> energy, mental focusand health benefits it has brought me.
