Next week sees the start of the Big Juice Spring Clean 2013, centred around Jason Vale’s brand new 5lbs in 5 days Juice Master Detox. Regular reader of this blog will no that I am a big advocate of juicing and it have been a key element in how I have rediscovered my health and shed over 5 Stone (70 lbs) in weight!
Juicing is not just about weight loss, but for every aspect of health. Since I changed my eating habits I’ve send the end of several health problems, including Asthma and IBS.
We are not talking about bottled, processed chemical shakes or juices here, but the freshly extracted liquid nutrients found within the fibres of all fruits and vegetables.

2013 Miles in 2013
I am doing my 2013 miles in 2013 challenge in aid of the Cystic Fibrosis Trust as I have been surprised since I started fundraising for the CF Trust just how many people are unaware of this disease and so I hope my efforts will not just raise money, but also awareness of the UK’s most most common life-threatening inherited disease.
2013 Miles in 2013 – The rules
The rules for my 2013 miles in 2013 challenge are quite simple:
- All miles must be completely self powered (no motors, sails, etc)
- I must be able to evidence all miles, either via GPS or with a picture of any static gym equipment
To complete my 2013 miles I will be running, cycling, rowing and who knows, I might even try a few other self powered methods along the way.
