By the way the amount of goodies you can get into a green smoothie as per Victoria Boutenkos recommendations

e.g. I did one today for my dad, it was , now I only ever manage to eat about 2 sprigs of parsley even though it is a huge superfood, I put about 80 sprigs in with 2 mangos blended up in a Vitamix.

The blending of the food is important, see Victoria Boutenko's groundbreaking book on amongst many other wonderful, new & innovative proportion of foods, low stomach acid (which most of us have) and where that is the case, "most minerals including such important ones as iron, zinc, calium, and the B-complex vitamins (folic acid and others) need certain amounts o fstomch acids in order to be absorbed at all.

So many of us develop gray hair at a certain age due to nutrient deficiencies which roots back to this low stomach acid unable to uptake the nutrients to keep the hair gray for example. Ann WIgmore who was a big blender, after 25 years of being on a raw diet her hair went black again. Her students not trusting her had it sent to a lab, when she was 82 to see if it was dyed and it was not.

But Victoria's book talks about having nearly 50% of the diet greens and the other 50% fruit, obviously going into it gently, you can still eat your normal life but add her smoothies in with it, in her magical formulas/ratios and discoveries - make them palatable and doable for the first time - instead of drowning the food in oil and having avocados and nuts, which it seems in her experience (mine too) leaves you feel very tired and fatigued after years of that.

Her book really is amazing, she talks about how you can't tell an animals age but you can tell a human's age to within 5 years and that an eagle, zebra, and two other animals I don't remember which all, as do many animals only wear down in the last 2 weeks of their life. We have to eat more akin, as it details in the books, to the chimps who share an estimated 99.4% of our genes. As if often reported too, it is only domesticated animals who suffer from the illnesses we do, never animals in the wild.

Much love,
