Give your body a “Natural High”

Dandelion Juice – Give your body a “Natural High”

For the past few weeks, I’ve been drinking one-half cup of fresh dandelion juice every morning and another half cup before dinner.

Dandelion can also lower blood pressure, and build stamina. Who doesn’t need more stamina?

Dandelion Leaf is an ancient remedy and is still used today to help remove excess water and toxins from our body. Promoting excretion of bile from the liver enables our body to get back to the business of processing foods and ridding the body of dangerous toxins at the same time.

Efficient bile production and flow gives our body a boost when it comes to metabolizing fat, which in turn helps the body regulate cholesterol levels. Did you know that when you lose weight, acids build up in the body, but dandelion effectively rids the body of these excess acids?

Dandelion Leaf also stimulates functions of the gallbladder, the organ responsible for storing and excreting bile.

Dandelion Leaf has been known to relieve symptoms of premenstrual syndrome, thanks to its diuretic action. Actually, dandelion is beneficial to all living things, even our pets. Loaded with  sodium, calcium, iron, beta-carotene and vitamins A and C, it’s one of the most beneficial for major organs and body system functions.

Keep in mind that some people with sensitive digestion might find the juice a tad strong, so if you’re one of those people, just dilute the dandelion juice with carrot juice or water.

Oh, and select dandelion greens from an area that hasn't been sprayed with herbicides, or better yet, buy organic.
