General Rules For The Juice Diet

General Rules For The Juice Diet

When starting out on the juice diet it can be difficult if you don't know some tips and rules about the juice diet. I'm going to go over a few juicing rules and tips to help get you going in the right direction so that way you are ready for when you go on your juice diet.

Avoid trying to store your juice for over 24 hours. You should always try to have juice that is fresh but sometimes this cannot be possible. However, never let stay in storage for over 24 hours. When you go to store it always put it in a glass jar with a good lid on it. Juice often times loses the nutrition when it's stored for long periods.

If you want to juice with melons then always juice the melon by itself and don't mix it in with other things. One thing that you might want to do is have a meal that is just based on melon.

Always remember that vegetables plus raw fruits often times cannot be eaten at the same time and the only exception to this would be apples. It might be tempting to mix the two of them together but it's not very good for you.

Many people think that vegetables juices must be diluted at all times and that is not true because you can have vegetable juices without them being diluted.

When you are trying to juice greens for the first time you might find it hard to do. It might not be very easy to pour out the juice and so one idea is to do some small carrots in first then put in your green something like parsley and then add in more vegetables. This makes it easier to do the greens. Another thing to remember is not to add in over 25% of the green juice to whatever kind of vegetable juices you are having.

Before you start on the diet first talk with your doctor and find out if you need to cut back on your medications and supplements first before you begin it. The reason why is because often times on the juice diet you'll be getting lots of daily vitamins and if you are trying to fast plus take those medications then it could cause you to have problems because you might be getting way to much of them. However, some medications you might need to stay on such as thyroid medication or diabetic medication and if you need to stay on those kind of medications find out what you should do to make sure that everything remains balanced in your system.

These are just some general rules and quick tips to help you out on your diet. Always do a lot of research before you start and make sure that you work out some kind of plan that works out the best for you and is the easiest for you to keep up with so that way the diet might end up even being for you.

Athlete's Foot Cure & Jock Itch Cure

Athlete's Foot Cure & Jock Itch Cure

We're just going to jump right in and give you some simple solutions. These solution were written for athletes foot, but could very well be used to cure jock itch as well.

Natural Tea Tree Oil Cures Athletes Foot
  • Prescription-grade athlete's foot products can only be described by doctors. If you look around you'll find that this ingredient is available without a prescription and for sale at the dollar store! The only difference is that there's a lower concentration of the active ingredient (so you just use a little more). There are a few different active ingredients in different brands, but since they're all $1, why not just buy them all and see what works for you? Note: use the hair dryer to dry the cream after rubbing it in. Moisture is what causes the problem in the first place.
While the above is not a natural cure, it's a simple answer that most people are looking for, so it heads our list. Now, lets move on to some natural cures
  • Do the above solution with the prescription or dollar store cream, but do it with tea tree oil. It works better, costs the same, and isn't harmful to your skin
  • Soaking your feet in water with raw apple cider vinegar should help (the more vinegar the better) . Or putting a few drops of vinegarinside your socks and letting it dry before you put them on might be okay. Or, maybe you could try sleeping with with socks that have been soaked in vinegar and then dried
Prevention:

  • If I'm out all day with shoes on, when I'm sitting down at the coffeeshop, I'll take my shoes off for a bit and let them air out. This is probably the single most important thing if you have shoes on all day. Putting powder on your feet before you put your socks on can be coupled with this.
  • Wash your feet in a private bathroom sink when they are really sweaty
  • Sleep barefooted so your feet remain dry at night. Use powder too.
  • Why I don't have the problem: in the summer, instead of wearing shoes everyday, I would sometimes wear flip-flops with no socks. This really works.
  • Wash your socks inside out (doesn't clean the dirty heals as well but gets rid of the fungus better. If you're worried, wash them twice!)
  • Dry your feet with the hair dryer after a shower

I've tried all of these things (except lemon/vinegar) and I know they work, as I too have had athlete's foot and jock itch. I haven't had athlete's foot or even stinky feet for years (that's saying a lot because my shoes are old and stink, meaning that the fungus IS reaching my feet, but not taking hold.) It's pretty easy to take off slippers before bed. It takes me a few seconds to put some powder on my feet before putting on my socks. No problem to take of my shoes when sitting in Starbucks reading a book.

Hope this helps.
