That’s right, it’s the wild side that brings the best out of the blueberry. Not to discount the cultivated blueberry, it too does a body good. However, the wild version is higher in antioxidants, fiber, and amino acids. All of that means more nutrition and healing for your body.
Wild blueberries can be known as the resurrection food in the chronic illness healing world, as they can bring your body and spirit back from the brink thanks to their healing qualities. The bushes themselves can be burned to the ground and come back thriving.
Whatever your ailment, you can count on wild blueberries in any form – whole, dried, or juiced – to deliver you healing.
Dragon Tales
Dragon fruit, or pitaya, does wonders for your liver. The liver is responsible for a lot of bodily functions, and when it’s overburdened, dragon fruit’s powerful anti-oxidant red flesh can come to its rescue. Dragon fruit is also a great source of fiber. You can find dragon fruit frozen or in powder form. Use two tablespoons of powder to replace ½ cup of frozen dragon fruit.
Go Bananas
Bananas are always in my fruit smoothies as an essential base. Not only do bananas help balance blood sugars, are great for brain health, and are rich in potassium and amino acids, but they are also an excellent anti-bacterial and can reduce inflammation. They are fantastic for any stomach ailments or bloating as well.
Splurge for the Coconut Water
This recipe calls for coconut water, and of course, regular water is ok. But if you can get coconut water, please do as it’s known as one of the most hydrating natural drinks on the planet due to its electrolyte content and ability to hydrate on the cellular level.
Most everyone, especially anyone looking to heal a chronic condition, suffers from cellular dehydration. Coconut water can help to alleviate that and allow the body to function at its best.
Get In More Leafy Greens
This smoothie calls for leafy greens, so feel free to get the kind you like best. Leafy greens are essential for providing electrolytes and plant-based protein and can be considered the chimney sweep for your colon. You need leafy greens, and you want leafy greens. Best consumed raw, it’s easy to get a high amount when putting them into a smoothie. Make it easy!
Smoothies Saved My Life – but the Ingredients Matter.
Back in 2020, following a high-stress divorce and family death, I was crippled with chronic illness. Being in my 40s, I already had a few symptoms here or there, but they suddenly quadrupled and got serious. Severe chronic anemia, chronic fatigue, hormone imbalances, and adrenal burnout brought me literally to my knees and robbed me of any sort of everyday life.
I first went where the fads were – high fat, high protein diet. I piled scoops of peanut or almond butter into my smoothies, popped open dozens of dried cow liver and spleen pills, and, let’s not forget the nut milk. I didn’t know any better; many swore by this.
When I ended up feeling worse, I looked for more answers. Fortunately, my doctors approved the autoimmune protocol diet, and I found that Medical Medium Info fit into that category. I learned quickly that high-fat, high-protein diets only burden our body’s most significant defense: our liver.
I transitioned to plant-based, overt fat and nut-free, fruit and veggie-packed smoothies and avoided fat and animal protein until lunch or dinner.
I kid you not when I say that saved my life.
Within five months, my bloodwork showed a completely different story: high cholesterol down to normal, high testosterone down to normal, blood count levels all normal, energy had skyrocketed, and that was indeed just the tip of the iceberg. My life was back.
You won’t find protein powders, nut butter, or milk in my smoothie recipes.
Try consistently giving your liver a break in the morning, feed your adrenals and brain with fruit glucose (that won’t make you fat), and see how you feel!
About that glucose
Did you know that the glucose in fruit gets into your bloodstream and works for (not against) your body before it hits your stomach? Neither did I. I had developed a fear of fruit, thinking it would make me fat. Fruit is a miracle given to us by nature and contains more nutrients than we can count. Don’t let the Fruit Fear many of us have to keep you from getting the magic fruit offers.
