It had a profound effect on me. I could totally identify with Joe Cross - the subject of the film.
Joe Cross was a very successful businessman in his own right. He was also fat, sick and as he put it "nearly dead". He required lots of different medication just to get through each day. One day he woke up and smelt the roses...or in his case the juice. He took his life into his own hands and started to "juice" each day. For many weeks living only on juice made from the flesh of fresh vegetables and fruit. It saved his life. Not only did it save his life it enabled him to become much freer from the various medicines he had previously needed to survive. He also dropped a lot of weight and became much fitter. In short he became a changed man.
His life has positively affected the lives of countless others throughout the world as they have listened to and learnt from his story. I am one of those people. I watched the documentary and thought "I can do that - I'm going to give it a go." To me it makes such sense: extract the juice from fruit and vegetables before anything is done to them - such as cooking - and you have in the juice all the natural goodness, nutrients, vitamins and minerals still in tact, at their most potent and as god or nature intended. In addition to this the goodness and enzymes etc. are much quicker easier absorbed into the body in a liquid form.
So here I am. Juicing (as it's called) and loving it - so far.
Didn't Tony Robbins say that to enjoyed life, you need to be "juiced".
