Health
I want to improve my health as its getting to an unmanageable stage of lethargy,illness and allergies. Boosting my energy with a simple morning juice, you don't have do go as extreme as a fast and you can work up to fasting (this is preferable) .
You'll start to sleep better and get to sleep easier and wake up feeling awake and alert. I myself have always had issues getting to sleep, and waking up or getting out of bed at any time can be awful. However since being on the juice fast I have noticed that waking up in the morning is much easier and not a long process like before I started where it can take up to 1.5 hours.
I have also long suffered from an iron deficiency and the only thing I know that helps me is leafy greens full of the stuff, like spinach, silver beet (chard) and kale which also contain vitamin C and without Vitamin C my body can't absorb the iron, thus meat is useless in aiding me in my iron supplementation. I also love these three veggies, they are so versatile, however I can sit down to a whole bowl of lightly steamed silver beat.... nom nom nom.

Weight
So over the years like many others I went from slim and carefree to overweight and unhappy. So I decided to make a change, I have tried many things over the years and they have worked to a certain degree but nothing I was ever able to stick with, hence a lifestyle change. I decided to start this change with a juicing diet, I myself love juicing. And you have to start somewhere if your going to make a difference so I will keep you updated on the weight loss, I don't have a weight goal and don't read the scales ever, I can gauge my weight by looking in the mirror and by my clothing size, scales just make me feel worse thus they are nothing more than a dust collector in my house. I know what makes me feel good and confident when I look in the mirror so that's what I'm aiming for.
Illness
Juicing can assist with a number of ailments such as: Headaches, sleeping disorders, mental alertness, mental health, and blood pressure just to name a few. It starts you on a journey to improve your lifestyle.
Not feeling ill every other day has been a plus for me, the lethargy is diminished and I am confident to get rid of it by the end of my juicing journey.
