**This Post is my Response to the @NaturalMedicine Challenge - Let Food Be Thy Medicine** Thankfully I have always been very mindful about what goes in my body. I do not feel tempted looking at delicious food, I can easily give it a pass, where as I know many people cannot do it. Like in my own family my Husband. He gets totally out of control when it comes to food, He is a big time foodie and loves to eat no matter what consequences it brings to health. Daily I try to keep putting some words of good health and diet on his ears but he kind of gives me a pass on that :-) Now since I am not able to control him much on that, I try to come up with ways which can to an extent cover up for the mess he creates to his system. I came up with a daily dose of Detox Smoothie for him, which is very nutritious and helps cleanse his body to an extent. It's a gentle Detox Smoothie of Avocado and Celery mix. Sometimes I also mix up Carrot and Parsley in it, but most of the time it is only Avocado and Celery. It's more than a year that I have been giving this to him regularly almost on daily basis, yes but when we travel there is a miss. Last year with his Autoimmune he was completely down and left with no energy at all. While I have heard and seen of many AI cases where people get caught up in the symptoms for a very long time and they are back to back down with something or the other. But in my husband's case we have been lucky that after the first symptoms and we taking all the precautions he has been very stable and our lives got back to normal in a very short duration. We have been doing many things around his health and most of them have been natural therapies, which I feel are helping him a lot. Also his steroids tablets dose which was started with 4 a day we have managed to now bring it down to 1 and hopefully in the next few months we will be stopping it completely. Around a year back we were in a panic situation, where doctors wanted us to go for immediate surgery and a lot of chaos around it. The recovery from the surgery was also not guaranteed and we were in a fix. While me and my son strongly believe in natural therapies my husband would not mind trying it out so that was advantageous, but we had a lot of criticism from our extended families where my own sister would tell me that I have gone mad and I am ruining his health further. Thankfully today I can show them the benefits of natural therapies against the conventional therapies that most of the people are stuck with. My own neighbor has been fighting out with her AI since almost 5 years, now she has also shifted to other alternatives and sees good results. While I will not say that this particular Detox Smoothie has only helped him but yes to a large extent it has helped him regain his energy and flushing out toxins from his body. Since I make it for him daily I also make it a point to have it, it's a good practice so there is no harm in having it. It's very very simple and takes not more then 5 minutes to prepare. Recipe 1 Stalk of Celery 1 Avocado Parsley 1 and half glass of water Mix all the ingredients in the blender and blend it till it's smooth and the drink is ready.
