6 Days of Raw Green Smoothies

6 days and 2 bags of spinach later, all I can really say is that I see an overall increase in my energy levels. Nails show no signs of smoothening and skin is still dry though not as bad. For example, I have a patch of scaly skin on my right hand. That hasn't changed much, but my left arm which was also pretty dry to the point of getting scaly has started to feel smooth. Light rubbing doesn't break the skin as it once did. Also, my back isn't nearly as itchy as usual. One neat thing I've learned is that pineapple completely masks the spinach flavor. Thus far, I'm happy with this little experiment and look forward to the next 3 more weeks.

Raw Green Smoothies Mornings

I've come to the realization that my skin isn't what it used to be and that if I don't do anything about it, I'll be as scaly as the fish I hate to eat. I don't like the idea of using lotion daily so for the past 3 days, I've started my days with raw green smoothies. The hype behind this is pretty huge: smoothen your nails and clear your patchy skin. There are other ridiculous claims, none of which I care to mention but I'm willing to give it a shot for a few months. I have dry skin, ripples on some of my nails and a bit slow to get started in the morning. I'll try and share the results as well as it's affects on my wallet.
