The Morning Drink

OK let’s get started! The Morning Drink is the first thing I did right away to get my health back. It is easy to make and you will love it. There are some rules but you can make it to suit yourself.

Rule one: You have this drink every morning for the rest of your life!

Why? In America, the average person eats a diet composed of mostly acid foods (meat, dairy, grains, legumes, etc.). Eating a diet composed mostly of these types of foods encourages an acid environment to exist in your body. Allowing this acidic environment to exist in your body is one of the greatest known threats to your body’s health. An acid environment leads to heart disease, cancer, arthritis, allergies, metabolism problems, weight gains, psychological problems (depression, mood swings etc.), hormone imbalances, etc.

The majority of Americans ph runs at about 5.5 which is acidic. A healthy human body has a ph of between 6.5 to 7.5 ph. The morning drink will help to quickly bring balance to your body’s ph (the acid alkaline balance); fruits and vegetables are alkaline everything else is acid. Balancing your body’s ph is one of the top keys to health and healing.

Rule two: This is an alkali drink do not add any acid ingredients to it.

I do not see much protein in there; could I add some protein powder? DO NOT add protein powders or protein containing foods like dairy, yogurt or tofu to this drink! It is a problem for your liver and gall bladder to process fruit that digests in one hour with protein that digests in two to three hours. Fruit is a food that does not mix with any other foods (for more questions on protein see Nutrition).

But what about my regular breakfast of bacon, eggs, toast and coffee? If you have a life threatening disease see the section on Nutrition. If you do not have a life threatening disease have your regular breakfast one hour, or more, later. But speaking from experience, I would drop that stuff and use the drink as your breakfast or have a modified high alkaline breakfast with a lot of vegetables an hour later.

The Morning Drink Recipe

Fifteen minutes before you make this drink have at least 12 to 16 ounces of water (distilled is best) to
start the cleansing process of this drink.

Ingredients: (make fresh every day and vary the amounts to suit your taste and appetite)

8 ounces (plus or minus) of pure water (distilled is best) and 8 ounces of organic juice (apple, grape, etc.)
1 banana.
Pinch of cayenne pepper more or less to taste.
A chunk of ginger; thumb size.
Seasonal fruit; pear, grapes, peach, (organic if you can get it) (frozen without sugar is ok).
A quarter to a half a lemon, include a small amount of peel if you like, very good for both the liver and gallbladder.
Add a tablespoon of olive or peanut oil (cold pressed) for your skin and joints.
Put the above in a blender, liquefy and drink.

*Adjust the above to suit your taste and the amount you make.

What about the sugar content of this Drink? These are whole fruits that your digestive system and pancreas must process just like any other food. This is not like eating refined sugar or the refined fruit juices from the grocery store. If you are a diabetic, take a small amount, monitor your blood sugar and use accordingly. By all means check with your physician.

I had my blood sugar checked recently and the Doctor remarked that he was surprised at how balanced my blood sugar was considering my age. As I said before, I have been drinking this drink every morning for the last eighteen years.

For Dieting:
If you want to add more nutrition to this drink to help you lose weight I suggest Earth’s Nutrition. Earths Nutrition is a combination of green foods like wheat grass, blue green algae, alfalfa, kelp, etc. It boosts the nutritional content and alkalinity of this drink. See Nutrition section of this site to learn how to change your nutritional life style.

Caution: Consult with your physician when starting any nutrition program, especially if you are on medications.

Note: Remember when it comes to your health, you are the boss, all final decisions are yours.
