INTRODUCING TELEHEALTH! While we are currently unable to provide face to face care, we excited to introduce Telehealth! WHAT I S T E L EHEALTH?
HEALTHY REC I PE
Telehealth is the application of telecommunications technology to deliver professional services at a distance by remotely linking clinician to client. We hope this service will bridge the gapwhile we await further direction on re- opening our clinics to the public. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
MIRACLE RED JUICE • 2 large beets • 4 long carrots • 2 apples
• 6 celery stalks • 2 limes or lemons • 2 inches of ginger
DIRECTIONS: Prepare beets, carrots, apples, celery, limes (or lemons) and ginger by chopping into smaller pieces before placing into a juicer. As the skin of a beet is packed with antioxidants and nutrients, it is recommended to leave the skin on the beet. Beet skin and lemon peel (if using) have strong flavors, so you could also prepare half with skin and half peeled to adjust to the flavor, or simply peel all if preferred. Apples can be any color or variety. Do not peel the ginger, which you will add to taste as ginger canbe spicy. After all ingredients are added to the juicer, blend until juiced and smooth. Drink juice as soon as possible to obtain all benefits of the antioxidants and nutrients. Miracle Red Juice can be absorbed more easily on an empty stomach. Drink one glass every other day or as needed. HEALTH BENEFITS:
