 Today marked the start of my 10-Day Green Juice Challenge, and I woke up thinking back ten years. I was at my lowest point, juggling work deadlines and a fast-food habit that left me bloated and lethargic. This time, though, I decided to do something different: step away from my daily routine long enough to learn a new skill, juicing. My first task was simple: clean my produce. I placed apples, celery, and cucumbers into a sink filled with water and a dash of baking soda. Fifteen minutes later I felt a small surge of confidence. It meant I was treating these fruits and vegetables with respect, giving them their own little “spa day” before they became juice. I won’t lie, about two hours in, I got my first headache. I joked that my body was staging a protest. It wasn’t dramatic, but it did hammer home that cleansing often comes with mild discomfort. Rather than panic, I sipped water-diluted juice and reminded myself it wasn’t about perfection, but about progress. Choosing the right juicer also mattered. I started with my old centrifugal model. Its loud hum reminded me of my earlier impatience, trying to rush healthy change. Switching to a masticating juicer felt like a breath of fresh air, it ran quietly, and its juice kept longer. Cooking up 40 ounces of green goodness one leaf at a time felt like building a bridge back to vibrancy. If you’re curious, I’ve posted day-by-day recipes at goodlivingnowshop.com. And for total beginners, my Juicing 101guide lays it all out in plain talk. One thing I’ve learned already is this: every step, from a thorough rinse to choosing the right juice machine, matters. Tomorrow, I’ll explore more flavor combos and track how my energy shifts. If you’re thinking of trying this yourself, remember: small changes add up.
