I’ve had to make many concessions, living with ME/CFS and fibromyalgia. One of those is eating food that is more convenient, as opposed to fresh.
Fresh foods require washing, chopping, preparing, and cooking, which demands energy that I did not have. I ate fresh fruit and vegetables regularly but not as much as I would’ve liked.
Fast forward to November 2025. I may have found something helpful! My body really craved nutrient dense, easily digestible food, so I stopped by a health food store and purchased about 12 oz of pure juice for $10. It contained celery, apple, cucumber, and ginger. I felt energized! Perhaps it was partly the placebo effect, but it made me crave more, not for the taste but for the health benefits!
Over the years, my health has taken a step up on the ladder rung, so I decided to invest in a $60 easy clean juicer.🤗 This machine extracts the juice from the vegetables and fruit and separates the pulp.
According to my research, drinking this juice on an empty stomach allows your body to quickly use and digest the juice without using as much energy digesting the pulp/fiber (the body needs this, as well😉). Therefore, your body receives just that pure juice form of nutrition. (Please do your own research, and consult with your healthcare practitioner.)
I have been drinking this juice for the past several weeks and have noticed huge improvements in my bowel health.😋 I also feel subtle, gradual changes in my energy/stamina. I can stand longer to make my juices for 3 days in advance, as the juice can last for 72 hours in refrigeration.
I am hoping that with time, this practice will improve my gut health and decrease my cholesterol levels. I will follow up with you with my test results in the future.
Finally, I am elated that I added this regimen to my life! I feel encouraged about my health today and into the future!
What foods, habits, or regimens do you need to include in your life in order to become your very best self?!🥰 Wendy #ChronicFatigue #ChronicFatigueSyndrome
