Let’s face it: we might have missed the boat with our kids who now drink juice instead of water or milk. We may have learned too late that 100% juice is really just 100% sugar water where their pancreases and livers are concerned. We may even have insisted on juice as a responsible replacement to pop. It’s just too depressing now that we are in this deep to even think about the fight that would ensue if we removed these liquid beverages from their day. But if you would like to come along for the ride and reduce the juice, you are totally welcome to join in…even once in a while will make a difference.
Herbal teas come in all flavours and colours. Some even taste like licorice, very berry or are orange-y-licious! Brew a huge batch of your choice and include a couple of Rooibos tea bags to add Vitamin C and other nutrients, as well. Stir a small amount of stevia or honey to sweeten—as little as you can get away with—and let cool. Pour it into a pitcher and store in the fridge. It’s the new juice! (Reduce the amount of sweetener each time…see if you can get to zero.)
Could it be that the first step in reversing obesity, liver cancer and diabetes is as simple as boiling water? Come on!
