We are already a week into March and I cannot wait for the Springtime. You all know how much I love Spring?!

I feel sorry for those who suffer from allergies, but when you live in Tennessee, allergies are a common thing throughout the year.

Before every season, I make this combination to cleanse, boost, strengthen, and energize our (my family’s) body. It’s one of the greatest recipes that a friend of mine shared with me 5 or 6 years ago.

I tweaked it a bit, not because it wasn’t good enough before, but because I thought adding some other ingredients would make it even more beneficial.   

To make a long story short, my kids, especially my eldest son were getting sick all the time. It was breaking my heart that there was no way to give them antibiotics.

We are talking not once a year, but at least 3 times a year; ear infections, strep throat, sinus infections, following of course very high temperatures, and bronchitis.

As much as those antibiotics help, that much more weakens their/our body.

After 4th ear infection in 9 months, I talked to that friend, a friend from childhood.

She swears by this, and I, well, I was skeptical. However, at that point, I was willing to climb the tree to get a bird poop from the nest if that would take for my kids to be healthy and stronger. I was the mother on the mission!

They would drink and eat it each morning for 10 days straight for 2 months. Something changed, their immune system became stronger, and it was able to fight.

The face complexion changed as well. I tested this combination, this mixture not only on my children, but on my nieces, husband, and myself.

Why is it so good?

I did a little digging around and found out that the Chinese herbalist made a drink with beets, apples, carrots, and lemon, and then called it a Miracle Drink.

Now, I do not have any proof of that, other than resources online. But it made sense to me because of all the benefits that all 4 ingredients contain!

It’s recommended for people with lung cancer, as well as all the other Cancer patients who are going through the harsh treatment.

In all types of cancer, some of the body’s cells begin to divide without stopping and spread into surrounding tissues.

A Miracle Drink can prevent the growth of cancer cells, and renew damaged ones.

It makes your immune system much stronger if you drink a glass of Miracle Drink for 3 months, religiously each morning as soon as you wake up and before you eat or drink anything.

It may also help patients cope with the side effects of cancer treatment.

But that was only with a combination of Beets, Apples, Carrots, and Lemon and in a juice form.

I added ginger, honey, and cinnamon to that combo of Beets, Apples, Carrots, and Lemon. I strongly believe that this is even more powerful and effective. I am not stating it will ‘cure’ illness, but down the line, it can perhaps help prevent it.

I make this Mixture quarterly for me and my family –to make us strong, and healthy and to sucker-punch anything that comes our way!

Most of the time we wait until we get sick and then realize to do something about it. Don’t wait until you get flu, infections or heaven forbids something even worse, so keep your body healthy on time.

I make juice (recipe here) when I feel sluggish and at a loss of energy, however, making it in a blender or shredding it manually with a hand shredder keeps all the nutrition in.

All the fibers are so important, and we eat them with a spoon.

A few tablespoons in the morning and we are good to go. Shredding it manually has been a pain because beets stain your fingers (I’ll tell you a trick at the end of the notes), but any good blender or food processor will do the job even better.

It is packed with nutrition and you must try it. I encourage you to make it for yourself and your loved ones. 

On top of all that I just said up there at the beginning of the post, I will add that it’s doing wonders for your skin- facial complexion, hair, eyes. Reduces pain following intensive physical training, improves bad breath from poor digestion, and reduces menstrual pain.

Contains A, B1, B2, B3, B6, C, E, K Folate, Zinc, Iron, Magnesium, Potassium, Phosphorus, Calcium, Sodium, Copper, along with Niacin and Iron, as well as several anti-aging agents.

Strengthens heart, kidney, pancreas, and liver.

Sharpens the brain and boosts memory.

Fights Anemia and Asthma.

This alkaline food type of mixture is most definitely very welcome for our body, meaning that it creates an alkaline pH balance in the body. I am a strong believer in a balanced diet.  

Alkaline Vegetables: Beets, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Celery, Cucumber, Kale, Onions, Peas, etc.
Alkalizing Fruits: Apple, Banana, Berries, Grapes, Melons, Lemon, Orange, Watermelon etc.
Alkalizing Protein: Almonds, Chestnuts, Tofu
Alkalizing Spices: Cinnamon, Curry, Ginger, Mustard, Sea Salt

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Your urine/bowel movement might change color. If you see a reddish color, looking more like you’re bleeding do not worry, it is from the powerful beet color. Completely natural and it doesn’t happen to everybody.

DO NOT drink/eat it before BED!!!! Beets have a very strong detoxing effect which would and might cause severe sleep interference. The best time to drink juice or eat it with a spoon is in the morning, preferably on an empty stomach.

If you cannot eat honey, simply omitted, although it is healthy and helps in so many ways. You can use something like maple instead.

Please check with your Physician if you are right to eat this combination. Safety is #1 so ask if you are uncertain!
