As far juicing goes, I've done it for a couple of years it's very good to cleanse the body. Doing the smoothies and getting the fruits and veggies in there just gives you more energy. You'll feel quite different after a couple weeks of doing it. Be consistent with it and you'll see it really makes a difference.

You know, God sent His son to die for us and He paid that sacrifice so you can go to Heaven.
