Yummy Enzymes!!!!!

OK so as you all probably know I am 6 months pregnant and this heat is unbearable. I also found out that I am not the only one suffering. When we eat dead (cooked) food day in and day out it raises our body temperature. This also kills our digestive enzymes. We are born with over 5000 enzymes and by the time we are 40 years old, most of us won't have over 1000 of them left. Digestion starts in our mouth as we chew our food. The enzymes that are added via saliva aids us in the assimilation of our food. So what can we do to survive this heat and slow down our aging process?

ENZYME THERAPY: Pick two hot days and shower your body with enzymes. Your skin will thank you, your digestion system will take a much needed brake and you may even drop a few pounds. Yes, it's easy enough that even a pregnant person can do it. All you need is a blender or a juicer, ice and some fruit. For two days make yourself some fruit slushes or juices. Who needs to eat when it's so hot out?
Here are some recipes you can try:

Drink the following as much as you want.

Breakfast:

Blend some fat free yogurt with some fruit and ice. Try to have more ice than fruit. Pineapples and kiwi, or apple and strawberries. (for better skin add two tsp flax seed oil to the mix)

Lunch:

Fresh juice of carrots, celery, and apples .
Blended lemons, any berries you like a banana with ice.

Dinner:

Blended pineapples (2 rings), 2 peaches and a hand full of strawberries.


You can try to juice any combination of fruits or veggies that you like. I have been on this for 3 days now and I am loving it. I feel cooler and better and surprisingly not very hungry at all. I had to 'cheat' and eat a few walnuts to make the baby happy. Try this on days that you are not supper active. Please let me know if you tried this and give others some input.
