All Things Celery Juice

This morning was extra special as sweet Kathie Lee and Hoda discussed the enormous benefits of celery juice and gave me a shout out for talking about it so much! [show_shopthepost_widget id="3362999"]

This morning was extra special as sweet Kathie Lee and Hoda discussed the enormous benefits of celery juice and gave me a shout out for talking about it so much! You can watch a short clip, here. You may have seen how much I believe in the great impacts of celery juice from this blog post as well as my Instagram. I have received a lot of specific questions from you guys in blog comments and Instagram DM, so I wanted to share answers to the most-asked questions. See below!•What juicer should I buy?This one is under $100 now and works like a charm. If you want one that is more intense, this one is great too!•When should I drink celery juice?Juice first thing in the morning! It is important to drink it on an empty stomach at least 30 minutes before food or coffee. I wait an hour!•Can I use a blender if I don't have a juicer?We recommend using a juicer, but it is possible with a blender. If using a blender, blend and then pour through a nut bag to get the juice out and discard the solid pieces of celery.•Should I drink celery juice on an empty stomach?Drink it on an empty stomach 30 minutes to an hour before eating any food or drinking coffee.•How much celery do you juice for one serving?Juice one bunch of ORGANIC celery- yes, the entire bunch of celery! Side note: I find they normally stay fresh in the fridge for three days, so I buy 3 bunches of celery at a time for me and 3 for Jason...that is one bunch juiced each morning for me and one for him.•How much juice do you like to drink?16oz is the magic number for the full gut health benefits, but you can start at 8oz and build up to that.•Can I juice celery juice the day before and drink it the next morning?It is best and most effective if you drink it immediately because it loses medicinal effects quickly. Make it fresh each morning!•Do you juice the celery leaves or discard them?You can juice the leaves; it just makes the juice a little more bitter, but some people like that.•Do you add anything to the celery or just juice the celery?Just the celery! If you add anything to the celery juice, such as cucumber, apple, or lemon, it dilutes the medicinal properties of celery juice.•Can you add ice to it?It is best not to add ice- just celery juice by itself is the way to go!•Is celery juice okay to drink while you are pregnant?Please consult your doctor of course, but I have seen several pregnant women that juice it every day!

BENEFITS

  • Heals the gut
  • The powerful varieties of sodium work together to eliminate toxins from every inch of your body, including your gut, helping to heal and regenerate your stomach lining
  • Celery juice is soothing and cooling to the digestive tract, which aids any inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. This is perfect for anyone with IBS, Crohn’s, or colon cancer
  • Strengthens and regenerates bones
  • Purifies the blood stream
  • Highly detoxifying; this magical juice is extremely hydrating and alkaline, making it effective for balancing the body’s pH level and neutralizing any acidity in the body
  • Anti-inflammatory; can reduce symptoms associated with arthritis, osteoarthritis, heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis, gout and more
  • It simplifies digestion and elimination, helping the body to cleanse, detoxify and restore
  • The combination of sodium and potassium makes it a natural diuretic, and it regulates the fluid in the body and promotes urine production
  • helps protect healthy cells and balance essential mineral levels, lowering the risk of heart disease, protecting bone density, and reducing inflammation
  • Boosts the immune system
  • Helps you maintain a healthy weight
  • The sodium in celery maintains the fluidity of the blood and lymph and prevents them from becoming too thick
  • Celery is rich in Vitamin A, C, iron, and magnesium. This combination helps to nourish and rebuild red blood cells and aids those suffering from rheumatism, high blood pressure, arthritis, and anemia
  • Helps reduce blood pressure

--I hope this Q&A has helped provide more detailed information about celery juice! As I mentioned in the last email featuring Dr. Cole, he introduced me to celery juice for the gut healing properties, and I am so thankful. It has made a major difference in my personal gut health journey! I hope that you enjoy it as well.Other source: Food Matters

Why Wellness

Wellness is a big focus here on LSK, and it dawned on me that a post talking about my passion for wellness could be helpful for those reading along! [show_shopthepost_widget id="3334522"]

2018_10_26_lolomag12-0042-edit.jpg

Wellness is a big focus here on LSK, and it dawned on me that a post talking about my passion for wellness could be helpful for those reading along. Whether you are new to LSK or a longtime reader, I am so thankful you are here and love the journey we are on together when it comes to learning about what wellness means to us and implementing wellness practices in our lives!When it comes to wellness, I really think we don’t realize how good we can feel! Fueling our bodies with the good stuff, taking time to rest and rejuvenate, and using products that are free of harmful chemicals are a few ways basic ways to take care of yourself and promote your own wellbeing. There is so much we can do to prevent problems later in life. We often think we don’t have to focus as much on health in our younger years, when those (in my opinion!) are the most important years to focus on it.Health is the best thing you could ever spend money on. Some health habits are expensive, and by no means should you feel pressure to spend more than you are comfortable! Do what you can, but know that the money you are investing is money very well spent! It is going directly back into you- how you feel and how you function from the inside out.How cool is it that our bodies are meant to heal themselves if we let them. Food is so powerful and the right foods are truly made for our bodies and our bodies are craving the nutrients in good, healthy foods. Also, did you guys know that 80% of our immune system is in our gut? That means that a healthy gut will promote a strong immune system! Yes, please.NSAIDS have sadly become so common but they destroy our gut health. Antibiotics do the same. If you are in need of an antibiotic after trying holistic things, you can take probiotics after to protect your gut. Also, there are so many more powerful anti-inflammatories than any NSAID. It is pretty wild, but seriously just one pill has the biggest effect on your gut.These are just a few wellness thoughts, but the beautiful thing is you can take one step at a time and slowly change your life. It is so empowering to know that this wellness journey is on your terms! Do what works for you and your gut, on your time. We hope that LSK serves as a place of information for you as you take one day at a time to a healthy you!xo Lo.

You can check out some of her amazing hair work on her Instagram. I have tried nearly every color with her, from platinum to light brown.

Three Fitness Routines I Love

Hey guys! As you know, fitness is a super important part of wellness. In order to feel my best, staying active is key. I love to be outside and that is part of the reason why I absolutely love the beach and being by the water. [show_shopthepost_widget id="3277216"]

Hey guys! As you know, fitness is a super important part of wellness. In order to feel my best, staying active is key. I love to be outside and that is part of the reason why I absolutely love the beach and being by the water. Whenever Jase and I go to the beach, we have time to rest and relax, but we are also up and out exploring and adventuring.

Regardless of where I am, home or at the beach, keeping fit is so important to me and brings me such joy! Below are three fitness routines that I love:

--

*Sweat App (BBG)

I do the Sweat App (BBG) about three days a week.

*Pilates

Doing pilates once a week works out really well for me- I love the strength and flexibility focus of the classes.

*Hiking

I love hiking and try to do that at least once a week - we live right on a canyon with a great hiking trail, so that makes it extra easy!

We would love to know what fitness routines ya'll love! Let us know in the comments below. xo
