saturday .. we're testing the beets and ginger!!!

Woke up this morning feeling a bit sickly which isn't too unusual .. a bit more lively than yesterday though not as lively as the day before. I'd bought some beet juice the day before so thought, if I was in the grotty stages of a cold, it would be an idea to try some of that. I'd been reading up about it the day before and hoped I'd be ok!!!

Lol!!!

Anyway .. I'd bought a 25cl bottle .. about 8 fl oz of the stuff. Had read that cancer patients had drunk 19 fl oz of it daily for 3/4 months and had improved rather than anything else happening. I'd read lots of warnings about what to do and what not to do if you made it yourself .. well, obviously there wasn't going to be any risk of that here .. and that it's best to mix it with other juices .. it's mixed with apple juice in the bottle I have. It said to start slowly too .. I reckoned that a tablespoon wasn't going to help that much .. though you never know. I'd read that it could make you feel a little dizzy AND PARALYZE YOUR VOCAL CHORDS FOR A LITTLE WHILE!!!

To bin it or not .. that was the question ... lol!!!

Though I suppose compared to the effects of some of me meds not being able to talk for a little while isn't much .. some might say a blessing .. !!!!! Thank heavens for the computer .. lol!!!

Anyway .. none of that happened .. no vocal chord paralysis or feeling dizzy.

Turns out that beet juice can apparently .. a useful word .. lower blood pressure

Interesting read

Colds and flu don't like it either.

Just something that might help.

I drank about 4 fl oz of my beet juice and ate some crstalized ginger and did get to feel better.
