This is the third in the 21 Day Juice Feast Series.
The focus is on cultivating gratitude today by being thankful for what I have. There are many benefits to cultivating gratitude, including increased well-being, cultivating positive relationships and it can also help us deal better with adversity. There is a whole field of study, called positive psychology that is dedicated to "the scientific study of the strengths and virtues that enable individuals and communities to thrive. The field is founded on the belief that people want to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives, to cultivate what is best within themselves, and to enhance their experiences of love, work, and play (http://www.ppc.sas.upenn.edu/.)" The great news is that gratitude is something that we can cultivate and enjoy its benefits on our health.
Speaking of health, this particular combination of carrots, beets and cucumber, according to Dr. Walker are especially helpful in cleansing our systems. Particularly, this elixir helps to cleanse the liver, kidneys, and gall bladder. MMMM...I am grateful for today's juice ;) .
