Freshness Test

Mint can be bought from your local grocery store, usually in plastic contains to keep the Mint fresh. But you can also grow Mint yourself.


Important

Due to the fact that Mint is a green juice, you will find it beneficial to have no more than about ¼ of your juice consisting of green juice.


General

If you are like me and grow some of your own herbs such as Mint, then you like to take advantage of what you have. I add Mint because I like Mint. Since the leaves are small, you won't be producing a lot of juice. I use Mint just to add extra flavor.

I add enough Mint to create the flavor I like. You will need to test how many leaves of Mint bring the flavor you like.

Cautions & Suggestions:

In traditional Chinese herbal medicine, it is said that one reason why people get headaches is because their liver is out of balance. The liver, it is said, is responsible for headaches due to stress. Spearmint can, therefore, help relieve headaches due to a liver imbalance as spearmint has a direct impact on the liver. At the same time, spearmint helps to calm, relax and soothe a tense person.

Hatha Yoga

Have you been wanting to do hatha yoga (stretching) but have found it either too difficult or you are not that flexible? If yes, and even if no, watch Jesse do some pure hatha yoga routines.

Unlike flow yoga, each pose in pure or traditional hatha yoga is held for a few minutes. While holding the pose, you focus the mind on the stretch. When you focus the mind, that's when you find silence.

Jesse is not flexible — never has been and probably never will be flexible like others. But it doesn't matter. In pure hatha yoga, how flexible you are makes no difference. It's all about loving the pose and focussing the mind on the stretch.

If you want to learn pure hatha yoga, now you can by following Jesse on a series of hatha yoga routines.

Follow me on Facebook and watch my videos on YouTube.
