All The Way Lah Johnny !!
Make sure your minah is current !:o
Make sure your minah is current !:oArrived in Jakarta yesterday immediately went to fill up my fridge
The Australian produce I buy is only shipped to Spore weekly. I notice that that the veggies I get are usually wet. Maybe they wet the veggies to prevent them from drying up during transportation
However If I store the wet veggies I notice some damage after a few days. Has anyone faced such a problem
So what I do after getting the veggies from the store is to dry them with a paper towel. This seems to help avoid damage.
Anyone who wants to ge a Vitamix from a Spore distributor can check here https://www.vitamix.com/International?country=sg
I read that it is expensive & that the models they carry are limited. So what some people do is to go to Amazon UK where they use the same voltage . http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb...=aps&field-keywords=vitamix&sprefix=vitam,aps
Came across this article rating the nutritional potency of various vegetables.
My juicing recipe includes 2 of the top 10 mentioned in the article & of course kale ie.: Kale, Swiss Chard, and beet root

10 Superfoods Healthier Than Kale
In the world of marketing, image is everything. If you’re James Franco or Roger Federer or Taylor Swift, your name and face can be used to sell anything from phones to watches to perfume—even if you’re not necessarily famous for the your tech-savvy, your promptness, or the way you smell.
In the food world, the biggest celebrity of all might be kale—the Shakira of salads, the Lady Gaga of leafy greens. It’s universally recognized that kale anything—kale chips, kale pesto, kale face cream—instantly imparts a health halo. Even 7-Eleven is making over its image by offering kale cold-pressed juices. And yes, kale has plenty of benefits—including high levels of folate and more calcium, gram for gram, than a cup of milk. (It’s head and shoulders above these items found in our Eat This, Not That! Special Report: “Health” Foods Worse for You Than a Donut.)
Still, kale’s actually not the healthiest green on the block. In fact, in a recent report published by the Centers for Disease Control that ranked 47 “powerhouse fruits and vegetables,” kale placed only 15th (with 49.07 points out of 100 for nutrient density)! Here’s a roundup of the 10 leafy green cousins that researchers say pack a greater nutritional wallop. Read ’em, eat ’em, and reap the benefits.
SUPERFOOD #10 Collard Greens
Nutrition Score: 62.49
A staple vegetable of Southern U.S. cuisine, collard greens also boast incredible cholesterol-lowering benefits — especially when steamed. A recent study published in the journal Nutrition Research compared the effectiveness of the prescription drug Cholestyramine to steamed collards. Incredibly, the collards improved the body’s cholesterol-blocking process by 13 percent more than the drug! Of course, that won’t do you any good if you insist on serving them with ham hocks.
SUPERFOOD #9 Romaine Lettuce
Nutrition Score: 63.48
Even more so than its cousin kale, the humble Romaine lettuce packs high levels of folic acid, a water-soluble form of Vitamin B that’s proven to boost male fertility. A study published in the journal Fertility and Sterility found supplemental folic acid to significantly increase sperm counts. Get the man in your life to start craving Caesar salads, and you may soon have a baby Julius on board. (Ladies, this green packs health benefits for you, too! Folate also plays a role in battling depression, so change out your kale for Romaine and, while you’re at it, stock up on these other 8 Foods That Boost Your Mood.)
SUPERFOOD #8 Parsley
Nutrition Score: 65.59
Yes, that leafy garnish that sits on the side of your plate—the one they throw away after you eat the rest of your meal—is a quiet superfood, so packed with nutrients that even that one sprig can go a long way toward meeting your daily requirement for vitamin K. Moreover, research suggests the summer-y aroma and flavor of chopped parsley may help control your appetite. A study in the journal Flavour found participants ate significantly less of a dish that smelled strongly of spice than a mildly scented version of the same food. Adding herbs, like parsley, creates the sensory illusion that you’re indulging in something rich—without adding any fat or calories to your plate.
SUPERFOOD #7 Leaf Lettuce
Nutrition Score: 70.73
The nutritional Clark Kent of the salad bar, this common and unsuspecting leafy green is ready to take its place among the superfoods. Two generous cups of lettuce provides 100 percent of your daily vitamin K requirement for strong, healthy bones. A report from the Nurses’ Health Study suggests that women who eat a serving of lettuce every day cut the risk of hip fracture by 30 percent than when compared with eating just one serving a week. (What other foods might you be underestimating? Find out which are in your kitchen now in our 6 Surprising Superfoods.)
SUPERFOOD #6 Chicory
Nutrition Score: 73.36
Chicory is a family of bitter greens, but its most well-known member is radicchio, the small red or purple leaf that comes in a head about the size of a softball. It’s one of the best dietary sources of polyphenols—powerful micronutrients that serve a role in preventing disease. A study in the Journal of Nutrition found that people who consume 650 mg a day of polyphenols have a 30 percent chance at living longer than those who consume less than that. A cup of chicory leaves clocks in at about 235 mg (double that of spinach!), so consider adding a little leafy red into your leafy greens.
SUPERFOOD #5 Spinach
Nutrition Score: 86.43
Spinach is to kale what Michael Jordan is to LeBron James—the once unrivaled king now overshadowed by the hot new thing. But like MJ, spinach has a few more championship rings than its more current rival—primarily its position as a top source of biceps-building iron. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, a 180 gram serving of boiled spinach provides 6.43 mg of the muscle mineral—that’s more than a 6 oz hamburger patty! Recent research also suggest compounds in the leaf membranes called thylakoids may serve as a powerful appetite suppressant. A recently published long-term study at Lund University in Sweden found that having a drink containing thylakoids before breakfast could significantly reduce cravings and promote weight loss. On average, the women who took the spinach extract lost 5.5 pounds more than the placebo group over the course of three months. (It’s easy to see why spinach tops our list of the essential 8 Foods You Should Eat Every Day—click here to reveal the other 7.)
SUPERFOOD #4 Beet Greens
Nutrition Score: 87.08
Yes, the stuff they cut off and throw in the garbage before charging you an arm and a leg for “beet salad.” A scant cup of the bitter green serves up nearly 5 grams of fiber—that’s more than you’ll find in a bowl of Quaker oats! Researchers at the University of Leeds found that risk of cardiovascular disease was significantly lower for every 7 grams of fiber consumed. Try them in stir frys and eat to your heart’s content!
SUPERFOOD #3 Chard
Nutrition Score: 89.27
Chard. Sounds like “burnt.” It’s not as fun a name to drop as, say, “broccolini,” but it might be your best defense against diabetes. Recent research has shown that these powerhouse leaves contain at least 13 different polyphenol antioxidants, including anthocyanins–anti-inflammatory compounds that could offer protection from type 2 diabetes. Researchers from the University of East Anglia analyzed questionnaires and blood samples of about 2,000 people and found that those with the highest dietary intakes of anthocyanins had lower insulin resistance and better blood glucose regulation.

SUPERFOOD #2 Chinese Cabbage
Nutrition Score: 91.99
Taking the silver medal in the powerfood Olympics is Chinese cabbage, also called Napa or celery cabbage. Rich sources of highly available calcium and iron, cruciferous vegetables like the cabbage have the powerful ability to “turn off” inflammation markers thought to promote heart disease. In a study of more than 1,000 Chinese women, published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, those who ate the most cruciferous vegetables (about 1.5 cups per day) had 13 percent less inflammation than those who ate the fewest.
SUPERFOOD #1 Watercress
Nutrition Score: 100
The top dog, the unrivaled champion, the chairman of the cutting board, watercress may also be the closest thing yet to a true anti-aging food. Gram for gram this mild-tasting and flowery-looking green contains four times more beta carotene than an apple, and a whopping 238 percent of your daily recommended dose of vitamin K per 100 grams — two compounds that keep skin dewy and youthful. The beauty food is also the richest dietary source of PEITC (phenylethyl isothiocyanate), which research suggests can fight cancer. Results from an eight-week trial published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition suggest daily supplementation of 85 grams of raw watercress (that’s about two cups) could reduce DMA damage linked to cancer by 17 percent. Exposure to heat may inactivate PEITC, so it’s best to enjoy watercress raw in salads, cold-pressed juices, and sandwiches.

Confirmed its beetroot
When I first saw it on the shelve I thought it was sweet potatoes
1.2L of juice, cheers johnny!
Who the fuck is this? A homo shit sinkie loser?
Anything purple / dark red will help improve blood circulation. Inflamed lymph nodes will subside. It works like magic. Many herbs with "cooling" effect has dark red or purple leaves. However, must consume in moderation as it has blood thinning capability that can lead to hemorrhage for aged I.e. Stroke
I gulp and drink as quickly as possible, oxidation is a speed against time.
Some of you may have heard of Dr. Barry Sears who has written many books about inflammation & why Omega3 is important to counter it.
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_s...barry+sears&sprefix=dr+barry+s,stripbooks,510
If you haven't read his books you might want to watch this youtube clip. Controlling inflamation is necessary if you want to lose weigh, avoid diabetes, live longer....etc.
You can do so by avoiding all vegetable oils, minimising omega6 foods,.... & making sure you get fish oils. I found out from the video that Krill is not healthy because of the pollution.
Juicing helps to control inflammation because fruit & veggies are rich in polyphenols. Foods that are white in color are not healthy because they lack the polyphenols.

The problem seems to be worse with some acidic juices like oranges, lemons,... I drink green juices so I doubt this is a problem for my case.
The same problem exists if you drink fizzy drinks like coke.
Some precautions that might work:
Rinse your mouth with tap water, before drinking the juice & after. It seems that fluoride helps to counter the acid
Don't sip the juice, just gulp the juice to minimize contact with the teeth.
Do not brush your teeth immediately after drinking juices. Wait at least 30 to 45 minutes before brushing
I found the following article informative:
http://www.abc.net.au/health/talkinghealth/factbuster/stories/2009/07/15/2627735.htm
Lemons may be bad for your teeth enamel but I have started drinking it 1st thing in the morning. Here is the mixture I use 1st thing in the morning:
1) warm Green tea
2) lemon juice from half a lemon
3) some stevia
There's so many studies showing the benefits of green tea. Here is some of the benefits http://authoritynutrition.com/top-10-evidence-based-health-benefits-of-green-tea/
I've also been reading about drinking lemon with hot water as a way to loose weight but there are also other health benefits. Here are some of them http://foodmatters.tv/articles-1/cheers-to-drinking-warm-lemon-water
Stevia is a natural & safe sweetener, but what I didn't know was that it also provides health benefits like lowering your blood pressure & sugar levels.. You can read about it here http://authoritynutrition.com/stevia/
I was thinking about drinking lemon with hot water to loose some weigh but didn't actually do it because it seemed to be too much work just to lose some weight, However when I saw Dr. Oz's recipe of using green tea with lemon it got me interested & I did some reading & the combined ingredients is pretty potent.
I've tried it & the preparation time is fast, just boil a cup of water. While waiting for the water to boil you can cut the lemon & use a manual juicer to squeeze the juice. Put the tea bag into a cup, pour the hot water in. Wait 3 to 4 minutes. Take the bag out & pour in the juice. Finally add the stevia. I've got stevia that comes in little packets.
I got nost of my supples from iHerb:

You still haven't overcome your OCD yet ?
You still haven't overcome your OCD yet ?
What is OCD?
Your OCD of hating jazz. You still display such a tendency last Sunday !:o
I have common taste in music and like the music from ABBA, Air Supply, Bee Gees,.... It may be because the radio stations in Spore used to play these approved music.
Since I've gotten an internet radio I am now listening to a more diverse music selection. However I'm still stuck in the 60's, 70's & 80's
