Calming Juice

There are many different lettuce varieties, but they are not all created equal. Romaine lettuce has far more nutritional value than Iceberg lettuce and it's a better choice for juicing because of the large leaves.

It is crucial that the lettuce we purchase is organically and locally grown in order to avoid illnesses. Throughout the years, according to Dr. Heinerman in his book "Encyclopedia of Healing Juices", there were many hepatitis A outbreaks caused by improper hygiene practiced by farm workers picking the produce. Earlier this year, there were reports of E Coli contamination found in shredded lettuce served at KFC and Taco Bell. Knowing where our fruits and vegetables come from will give us some comfort in this area.

Lettuce may improve the health of our nervous system; it calms physical and mental anxiety and it helps against insomnia.
