Suffer from anemia?

Hiya dear friends,

Here is a good health tip for all those who suffer from anemia.

Like I, some of us don't eat enough iron to help get the blood pumping around our bodies and to our hearts, which in turn causes heart murmurs and other complications.
Doctors perscribed ferrous sulphate (iron supplements) tablets to help absorb iron into the blood.  After reading instructions - you need to take them one hour before or after you have milk, because milk depletes the iron from your system.
Interesting.
Side-effect?
Oh yes!  Constipation.  Nasty little bugger!

Then I looked into my diet, and decided to stop the supplements and eat food with more iron.

I began drinking orange juice before a delicious steak or green veg.
Apparently any green leafy veg has loads of iron.
Spinach - saviour to us anemics!

Did some good research on spinach.  It has more iron that a massive steak.  Whahey!!  Good news.
Also.....

My family got into the habit of making carrot juice (in its purest form).
Did some research into carrot juice as well.
Whahey!  Perfect amount of iron in that too and LOADS of other benefits like Vitamin C which helps to absorb the iron.   Hmmmm, I'm liking the sound of these two.

So, I got thinking - why not combine the two together?  
And that is what I've done.
Every second morning I make carrot juice - using around 6 large carrots.
Put a handful of spinach into a blender, add the carrot juice, and another flavour natural juice of my liking for extra variety e.g. tropical juice.
Blend them altogether and bingo!
A juice that looks like a WITCHES BREW, but has all the benefits for us anemics.

This combo surely helps.
Get the added benefits for iron, and lasts two days (maybe more), but it's good to be regular.
And, of course, NO CONSTIPATION - Whaooo! lol x

But try it out yourself!
Wait for the time when you feel your body getting tired and you can't get around, loose concentration and just want to sleep all day.
Then make this juice - MY DELICIOUS WITCHES BREW - and feel the difference.
I promise you it's amazing.
It wakes you up instantaneously.

Bottoms Up! xx
