ENERGY and LONGEVITY JUICE!
MITOCHONDRIA
When your mitochondria use macro-nutrients for energy, a small portion of this energy leaks out of the mitochondrial membrane. These are what you call free radicals and they have a high affinity for oxygen so they can form a “pro-oxidant”. That’s where antioxidants, enzymes and vitamins come in. Here is my recipe for energy AND longevity juice:
INGREDIENTS
- 20 STALKS ASPARAGUS
- 1 FULL PARSLEY BUSH
- 2C SPINACH
- 1L GOLDEN BEE
- 1C BARLEY GREENS(or powder equivalent)
- 1TBSP SPIRULINA
- 1 KIWI
- 2cm GINGER
- GREEN APPLE (optional)
BENEFITS
- 1g Lysine (carnitine precursor- allows long chain fatty acids through mitochondria membrane).
- .5g Tyrosine (precursor to CoQ10- needed for electron transport chain “ETC” & antioxidant in mitochondria).
- 1mg B2 - co-factor in transferring energy from Krebs cycle to ETC, also is part ribose (sugar)- building block of purines(essential for anaerobic respiration).
- 3mg B3 – integral component to mitochondrial energy and could not function without it, also co-substrate in the sirtuin (anti-ageing) enzyme.
- Plenty of “Heme” precursors –B2,B5,B6, biotin ALA, zinc, iron copper* produced in mitochondria and promotes oxygenation of blood cells reducing mitochondrial strain.
- *2mg B5 also used as “CoA” precursor which allows pyruvate to enter Krebs's cycle.
- *190mcg Alpha lipoic acid(ALA)- also powerful mitochondrial antioxidant & co-factor, uniquely water & fat soluble.
- *1.4mg of copper which is exceptionally high, it also is used to produce Super-oxide Dismutase (“SOD” King of all antioxidant enzymes).
- 5mcg PQQ- scavenger SOD, one of few nutrients that multiply and grow mitochondria and an extremely diverse antioxidant.
- Over 250mg chlorophyll (ridiculously high) which converts ubiquinone (used up CoQ10) back to ubiquinol (useable CoQ10), also increases production of heme and is a strong blood antioxidant and protects against carcinogens.
- 95mg glutathione powerful antioxidant able to remove heavy metals and pesticides.
- One of only a few natural sources of super-oxide dismutase (barley).
- Very high in nitrates (form NO) reduce energy strain on mitochondria and oxygenate the blood for more energy.

I am not a vegan myself but understanding food, our bodies and how they react is crucial for human survival.
Many of my friends are vegan and in the beginning they struggled a lot with meal plans - so hopefully this recipe can reach some vegans on steemit.
Feel free to share this anywhere and to anyone you like, spread the knowledge !
I'll definitely try the recipe. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for commenting ! Toss me a follow for future recipes !
Definitely want to try this ! (:
yaaaaa -- giver a go!
Hi Josh, I love your write up but respectfully ask that you change and remove my TRADEMARKED Company logo from your post. You do not have permission to use it.
All done. Sorry about that, came across it on google and it looked like a superman health symbol haha I liked it.
Lol no problem mate, you can usually use images as long as you give credit or source it. If you don't know how to do that take a look at this article on how to insert links etc...

Thanks for the heads up and being understanding... I'll deff give that article a look.
You got it my friend!
Looks good!
Thanks!
