Pioneering nutritionist Ann Wigmore has developed a simple and effective program to extract the maximum nutrients from foods without creating stress on the digestive system. By properly blending unprocessed foods--that is, liquefying them--we can release much more of the vital enzymes, vitamins, and minerals contained in them. Ann Wigmore observed that our modern diet puts a tremendous burden on the digestive system. This burden, over the years, is responsible for creating numerous health disorders, from gastric-related problems to degenerative diseases. In addition--and just as important--the body's ability to assimilate the very nutrients we rely on to carry out daily-life sustaining functions is diminished. In The Blending Book , Ann Wigmore offers us her proven system to improve our health easily and simply. The Blending Book begins by examining the problems inherent in our way of eating. It looks at our diet, our eating habits, our internal structure, and our health problems. It then explains how blending can work to correct numerous types of ailments. By breaking down food outside the body, blending offers maximum nutrients with less internal effort. With digestive stress lessened, the body is then able to heal itself. This book offers dietary guidelines and detailed instructions on choosing blending equipment and using blending techniques. It also includes a wonderful collection of delicious kitchen-tested recipes. Through the simple act of blending, you can take back control of your health. In The Blending Book , you will find all you need to know to get started right.
Before green smoothies, there were Ann Wigmore's blended drinks
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I can remember Ann making a group of us one of her blended drinks at the old Hippocrates Health Center. She was so passionate about it. An apple. Some sunflower/buckwheat greens. Avocado, rejevalac. Tasty. Balanced. Full of green. Ann was a radiantly healthy woman, ageless. She was committed to health and healing, and her blended recipes were in many ways a precursor for the now globally active green smoothie movement. This book is very useful wisdom altogether.

Wonderful, easy blended recipes!

This is the best source of blended juice recipes I've found yet, easy to use and make. Of course the author is famous for curing all types of diseases. I have been diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis and have been drinking blended juices since I was discharged from a weeks hospital stay. At my 6 week check-up the doctor said I was doing very, very well with a tone of amazement in his voice. He, nor any gastrointerologis, doesn't believe diet has anything to do with this disease, but it does and I will cure it and they will ask me how when they perform a colonoscopy next and I will share my treatment with them. Perhaps if more do this then more doctors will realize the benefits of raw/living eating and start recommending this instead of perscription drugs that do more harm to other vital organs than good! I don't care to live the rest of my life on medications, they just don't taste as good as blended juices or lovely vegetables!
Great way to start a return to good health.

Very interesting book, but Ann Wigmore books always are. I'm now back to making Rejuvalac, and fermenting vegies. I've bought, since reading the book, A 5-1/4 gallon new crock, and two one gallon fermenting jars for making pickles and pickled Vegies such as Kim Chee. The book has been an inspiration.
