Healthy Diets

I’m here to tell you I’ve been on a quest for quite some time.

As you might quess from the title, it has to do with something called Kakadu Juice.
But before I go on any further l should let you know, I’m an old guy. I don’t feel old, I sure don’t act like I’m old …but it’s true. Time is not on my side. In fact, I’m at that point where if I don’t watch it, I’ll loose it, and loose it fast. (You know , hair,
skin tone, muscle tone… all the tones, lost forever.)

I’m also one of those types that listens to what my body is telling me. It’s pretty simple, so I thought, to come to the conclusion, that if after eating a pizza at 1am and then hitting the hay at 2am and  you find yourself with restless leg syndrome and getting no sleep because of that darn migraine that’s been huanting you for years, that maybe eating before going to bed isn’t a good thing. Especially something like pizza. You think?

When I was younger I could eat anything but now my food intake has been what usually would be deemed healthy food. Lately however I’ve noticed that some of my all time favorite healthy foods, like tomatoes, broccoli, and all the fruits are starting to taste like …well, the word cardboard comes to mind. I’m freaking out here. I need some food that not only tastes good but works at giving me my nutrients! Nothing is more important than feeling mentally and physically at ease and having all your bodily functions working properly. You’ve heard the horror stories, you know what I’m talking about. Sick at my age really stinks. Both literally and figuratively…

Now enter  Kakadu Juice. Where does it come from? What is it?  What does it do and why should I care? Ok …

The Kakadu plum is found in Australia’s own backyard “Northern Territory”. Aboriginal people have been using this medicinal natural food source for thousands of years.  
The plum , which looks more like an almond than a plum, would grow ripe and fall from the trees to the ground where the dingos and the Aboriginal children would eat them.
What’s really interesting is back in the days when man’s life span was only 35 to 40 years, the Abourigine were living 60 to 75 years of age. You think there’s a connection?
 
The Kakadu Plum  is one of five of Australia’s most potent native bush fruits selected for careful wild-harvesting, cold-processing and smooth blending (to maintain maximum nutrient content) To produce for you and me… Australia’s very own super-food beverage, Kakadu Juice.

“Kakadu Plum is one of the most potent Australian bush food ingredients in Australian Kakadu Juice, and contains many times more Vitamin C than oranges, over 200% more antioxidants than blueberries, is much more nutrient dense than goji berries, and is also a highly rich natural source of folic acid, iron and phytonutrients, cold pressed.” ( That’s right from kakadu juice’s co owner Vic Cherkoff.)

Don’t ask me why, but I had to try this stuff out. The only problem was, while it was coming to the USA, in the not too distant future, it didn’t exsist in the states at all. Still doesn’t for that matter.

Then I did something totally out of character. To make a very long story, short ,
I got some of the juice. In the process,  again a long story, I’ve met the main guy from Australia, Vic Cherikoff, and I’m totally in awe of his achievement in making a food that works. It’s raw, he has retained the plants fiber so as to keep the nutrients from disapating over time( like 99% of all fruit juices suffer from) and for the first time in my life I feel like I found the perfect food .

First the taste. For me,it is the best thing I’ve ever exposed my taste buds too.
Seriously, the different herbs and spices and fruit flavors hit you at diffrent times.
And it lasts awhile …totally an enjoyable experience.

The drag is you only need a very small amount, as it is in a concentrated form.
I guess you could dilute it with other juices. I personally would never do that.

What it did for me after drinking it for about a month was nothing short of undeniable. More energy, better focus, my mood was unusually up beat.  

But what really excited me the most though, were my finger nails. For the first time in my life, they actually where growing into the long hard finger picks I’ve been yearning for, my whole half century of guitar playing. First time they haven’t broken from my frantic flailings. First time ever!

I’m hoping my next post is about the Kakadu juice being available to us nutritionally poor Americans. It’s going to be a great day for those of us that realize the benefits it brings us. Australia’s secret has now been revealed.
