Who is Norman Walker?

Norman Walker is a British businessman who was a pioneer in the field of juicing. While he may not have created juicing himself (which has roots as far back as 150 BC), he did take a look at the juicers of the time and realized that they weren’t quite right. Norman Walker Bio Norman Walker, d.SC, Ph.D, was born in Genoa, Liguria, Italy in January 1886. After having a breakdown as a young man, he observed the women in the kitchen of a peasant house peeling carrots, taking notice of the moisture on the underside of the peel. He decided to try grinding them and thus his first cup of carrot juice was born. When he became ill as a young man, he decided to begin drinking fresh fruit and vegetable juices in order to cure himself, which proved to be successful and thus his fascination was born. Later on in his life, he moved to Long Beach, California where he teamed up with a doctor and opened a juice bar, offering home delivery. By 1930, the two created dozens of fresh juice recipes for specific conditions, such as colon cleansing. With this success, he created his own juicer, the Norwalk. It had two parts, the first being a grinder to slowly grind the vegetables and the second being a press to extract the juice. One problem though: the San Francisco health department banned unpasteurized vegetable juices. That didn’t stop Norman. Instead, he moved to Anaheim where he kept his plant open despite the steel shortage during World War I. Eventually, he sold his share of his factory and began his own health publication. When he moved to Arizona, where he passed away, he devoted himself to writing. Thanks to his diet of fruits and vegetables, rumors swirled that he was as old as 119 when he died. His real age upon death was 99 (according to his grave marker and the US Social Security Death Index). Dr. Norman Walker’s Views Raw Foods Norman Walker believed that all cooked or baked goods were “dead” and therefore unhealthy. He also was a strict vegan who was against the idea of eating meat, dairy, or dairy products (although some of his recipes included dairy and eggs). The raw foods diet also meant no bread, pasta, rice, or refined sugar. Walker believed that juicing was the way to get maximum benefits from raw fruits and vegetables. Solid foods require hours of digestion, whereas pulp-free juices go directly into your bloodstream, the nutrients soaking in within 15-minutes of consumption. Colon Health Walker found that your colon was an indicator of your health. He felt that raw vegetable salads, fresh fruits, legumes, and unprocessed grains, along with plenty of distilled water, would keep your colon nice and healthy. Drink Pure Water We all know that the body is dependent on clean water in order to survive. When water is not distilled, the minerals, parasites, and bacteria in the water sticks around and cannot be utilized by your body. Regular Exercise Exercise is another thing that we all know that the human body needs to function properly. In Walker’s program, he felt that walking is the best possible exercise. Not only does it help burn calories, but it also helps tone muscles, helps weight control, relieves stress, and improves your mood. It has also been found to help deter cancer. Emotional Health Your spiritual and emotional health are also incredibly important. Stress, anger, and other negative emotions can affect your physical health. Walker believed in happiness, optimism, and laughter as some of the best ways to prevent serious health issues.

2 Nutritious Vegetable Juice Recipes That Your Taste Buds Will Love

Let’s be honest, most people don’t like eating their veggies. We can snack on fruits all day long but when it comes down to eating broccoli or kale, we struggle. Thank goodness for juicing. Drinking veggie juice actually helps your body absorb nutrients better than eating cooked vegetables. Plus, you don’t have to struggle to enjoy it. Today we’re sharing our favorite vegetable juice recipe for you to try. But first, let’s examine the benefits. Benefits of Vegetable Juice Did you know that the average person should consume two cups of fresh vegetable juice every day? I know what you’re thinking: that sounds like a lot. Even if you can only manage one cup of juice a day (or every other day), it’s worth it. Some of the health benefits of drinking green vegetable juice include: Lowers Risk of Chronic Disease Vegetable juice is high in antioxidants including vitamin A, beta-carotene, lycopene, phenolic compounds, and phytonutrients. These antioxidants can help your body fight off the risk of healthy cells turning into cancerous cells. It can also lower your risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and even some autoimmune diseases. Improves Heart Health Potassium, iron, and vitamin C can help stimulate proper circulation, improve the amount of collagen in your body, lower your blood pressure, and reduce the risk of damaged blood vessels and arteries. Improve Skin & Hair Drinking vegetable juice regularly can help reduce the look of blemishes, acne, wrinkles, age spots, eczema, rosacea, and psoriasis. The nutrients also help prevent hair loss and will give you lush long healthy hair! Supports Detoxification Whether you went out and binged for a weekend or you’re just looking to jump-start a new diet to help with weight loss, vegetable juice supports the detox process within your body. This is especially true for your liver. What Vegetables Can You Juice? When picking vegetables to juice, whether it be for a fruit juice or a vegetable juice, you want what is going to give you the most flavor, the most juice, and the most nutrients. Water-based veggies like cucumber make your base juice while vegetables like kale and spinach provide the nutrients. Some of the best vegetables to juice include: Cucumber Carrots Broccoli Sweet Potato Cabbage Celery Kale Swiss Chard Spinach Wheatgrass Celery If you’re unsure about which juicer to use, look at our guide to juicers here!
