Blueberries

Contain cancer fighting phytochemicals, ellagic acid, and anthocyanins. The Institute reports that cell studies of these compounds showed these nutrients to decrease the growth of cancer cells and also to stimulate self-destruction of breast, prostate, mouth, and, colon cancer cells. Centrifugal juicers cannot juice berries and grapes, but masticating and singer-auger juicers can.

How To Use In Juicing

To use blueberries it is best to blend them, then strain over a bowl with a spout (for easier pouring) to remove the pulp, or better yet leave the pulp and pour the juice and pulp into your main juice, like a blend of kale and other greens. This results in a type of smoothie juice blend.

Watermelon

Watermelon has loads of lycopene, one of the more potent antioxidant shown in research to protect against prostate cancer.

Watermelon is also one of the best fruits for weight control as it really satisfies the sweet tooth with just 49 calories per 2 cup serving.

Since it is one of the lower sugar fruits, it is ideal for juicing and juices quite well.

How To Use In Juicing

Juicing watermelon depends on your juicer model; check the manual to see how much prep is required, for example if the skin should be removed.

Peaches

The peach gets is bright orange color from beta-carotene that helps to reduce inflammation, protect DNA, boost immunity function and plays a key role in controlling cell growth in a way that reduces risks for cancer.

Strawberries

Strawberries contain ellagic acid, a key phytochemical in decreasing growth of cancer cells and stimulating soft-destruction of cancer cells, such as those in the breast, colon, prostate and mouth.

Furthermore, studies have shown that ellagic acid uses several different cancer-fighting methods simultaneously, as it acts as an antioxidant, slows reproduction of cancer cells, and supports the body in deactivating specific carcinogens.

How To Use In Juicing

Strawberries are more difficult to juice, depending on the model of your juicer. If you have a smoothie maker you can use that or mash them up and add them in after your main juice is ready; this also allows you to get more fiber intake from these healthy berries. A food processor or blender works great too. Strawberries go great with a kale, broccoli, and spinach or any greens.

The last thing you want is to get hungry after 30 minutes. Carbs also stimulate the production of insulin, which prevents protein breakdown. Moreover, this is why you absolutely need to start juicing and stop drinking sugary energy drinks.

FATS

Healthy fats are another essential macronutrient that you need.

The funny thing about fats is that they don’t improve your performance - but they don’t really weaken it either. What they do is slow down digestion, which keeps your body on an even keel in terms of its insulin and blood glucose levels. They also provide you with some micronutrients, too.

PROTEIN

You can drink some of your juice during exercise, and it should be high protein because protein helps to prevent muscle breakdown, which leads to a better recovery post-workout. It also ensures that you adapt better to training as you progress, which means that you are better able to power your way through your workout.

You don’t need a massive amount of protein in your juice; just a small amount is enough to prevent protein breakdown. If you like exercising on an empty stomach, then you don’t need any more than around 15 grams of protein during training.

Athletes who do punishing training bouts need more protein, as does anyone who is looking to gain a significant amount of mass.

12. Juice vegetables that you do not normally eat. Every vegetable provides a different benefit to the body but everyone is different in terms of what vegetables they enjoy eating, and so they skip those they don’t like due to either taste, smell or texture. Juicing these allows you to obtain benefits from vegetables that you would not ordinarily consume, and since you can mask their taste with fruit, lemons, ginger and other enhancers getting these nutrients becomes much less of a burden.

13. Consider sugar content of fruits when you juice, as some have so much sugar they should be consumed in moderation or avoided altogether, especially for those who need to avoid spikes in blood sugar levels (diabetics), those with weight issues, and definitely those who are juicing for weight loss.

14. Taste as you go and adjust accordingly, just as you would during cooking.

15. Consuming juices first thing in the morning or at any time when your stomach is empty will optimize the rate at which the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and enzymes are absorbed and used by the body. It also gives you a great energy boost to kick-start your day with the drive you need. Additionally, consuming raw fruit and vegetables provides an intensive boost of vitamins and enzymes, which are directed straight to the blood stream.

This means that your digestive system does not need to process the fruit and vegetables as they would if you were to consume them whole.

16. Juice high water vegetables, like cucumbers and broccoli. People often struggle with reaching the recommended daily intake of water. With six to eight glasses being the goal, some find it difficult to reach this intake. Many juicing combinations incorporate an element of water as the basis for the recipe, and indeed many vegetables and fruits have a high water concentration, meaning that you are extracting water during the juicing process. Juicing provides a great strategy for increasing your water intake each day to hydrate your body.

17. Make sure to juice vegetables with fruit. If you only consume fruit based juices, your intake of sugar and calories will be unnecessarily high. By integrating vegetable juicing into your daily diet, you will be able to optimize the volume of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and enzymes being absorbed by your body.

4. Recognizes and Appreciates Employees Who Do a Good Job

Let's admit it - everyone wants to feel appreciated. As a boss, it is good habit to always recognize when employees go out of their way to do something beneficial to the company. For example if one of the employees stepped up when a colleague was away and did their job, it would be great if you as the boss recognized that and perhaps bought them a card of appreciaGon for a job well done.

If the company records good profits, you can hold a end year party for the employees and moGvate them to keep working harder. You will be surprised at how moGvated the work force will be if you made it a point to always appreciate them when you feel they have done a good job. You do not even need to buy them a gi@. SomeGmes, just a word of 'CongratulaGon' or 'Good job' is enough to make them feel appreciated. Remember, just because you are the boss does not mean you should take all the credit when the company does well. It takes collecGve effort, and you should always have that at the back of your mind.

5. Know and Understand the People You Work With

Bosses who stand out and excel are always the ones who take their Gme to know their employees. Knowing them does not mean snooping into their personal lives, but rather understanding what they are all about. What are their strengths? What drives them? What are their temperaments? What are some of their challenges, and what are they baFling with?

You are probably wondering how you can do that, right? Well, the answer is simple: Interact with them. Talk to them and also study them as they go around their business. Work retreats and interacGons outside the work environment can also enhance a good working relaGonship. The reason why knowing them is important is that you learn how to interact with all of them as individuals. It also gives you a chance to mentor and direct them beFer.

Take care while you are interacGng with your employees and ensure you do not cross the line and become unethical in the interacGons. Be very professional and try not to be intrusive in an aFempt to learn what your employees are all about.

6. Handle Conflict in the Office Professionally

Much as you may want everything in the office to be as smooth as possible every day, sadly, it may never happen. Where many people are working together, there is bound to be some conflict or misunderstanding at one point. As a boss, it is obvious that you may be called upon to handle it. If it is conflict between two employees, you may someGmes leave them and let them handle it on their own. However, if it is something serious that may interfere with their overall performance at work, as a leader, you may have to intervene. When doing this, be as professional as possible. Do not yell at anyone, or create a scene in the process of resolving the conflict.

No maFer how overwhelmed you are, always try to control yourself so that you do not lose respect in the eyes of your employees. At the same Gme, be firm when making decisions, but never let it seem like you are favoring one employee over the other. It will create bad blood between you, and other employees may think you are unethical in your leadership.

Yes, part of the open rate will be influenced by your subject line, but the overall tone, interest and value of your email messages is just as, if not even more important. You want to entertain your readers as well as informing them. You want them to look forward to your next email. And the best way to do that is to start incorporating stories in your emails.

There are a few different ways you can do this effectively. The first and simplest way is to open your email with a little info on what’s going on in your life. Share what you did over the weekend, that your daughter turned seven yesterday, or that you went out and watched the latest Marvel movie last night. Then move into whatever your message is about.

Your readers will open your emails partly from curiosity about what’s going on in your life. Your mission then is to grab their attention and keep it long enough to get them to click on the link in your email, presell them to your latest affiliate offer, or get them interested in your upcoming product launch.

The second way to do this is to come up with stories that are related to whatever it is you are talking about. If you’re getting ready to promote an affiliate offer for a product that makes something quicker and easier, you could share a story of how you used to do things before you found this great tool and then share how it has improved your life. While this is a great strategy, it can be hard to always come up with stories that closely tie into and enhance whatever the purpose of your emails is. Do it when you can, but don’t be afraid to share something unrelated but personal when you can’t.

Storytelling in email will work best when you do it consistently. Commit to giving it a try for at least a month or two and see how your readers respond to this new, more conversational and personal style.
