Painful heel spur and joint pains

Hi Sara, past 3 weeks I and my hubby are on vegetable and fruit juices. We use celery, carrot, bittergourd, apple, watermelon, orange and guava. He could feel some difference after taking the juice but I feel nothing. Can you tell me why?

I am 45 now and lately I am having painful heel spur, joint pains, tennis elbows (both elbows), heavy menses monthly and when I get up in the morning, I feel heavier. My whole body especially my upper back is quite painful. Can you suggest what can I add to the juice to overcome these problems?

And also I and my hubby noticed that our weight increased a bit after started taking juice.

I would need to learn more about your particular condition and imbalance. One thing I can say is that heel spurs and joints pain are symptoms of excess cortisol and/or adrenal fatigue.

Cortisol lowers your body's pH. To restore your body’s pH, your nervous system will leach calcium out of your bones and cells to rebalance pH. Because the calcium is not being absorbed where it is needed the most (muscle cells and bones), it circulates in the blood and deposits on the surface of bones.

From the examples you have given me, the juices you are making are from foods that are high in sugar, causing your weight gain. Here is an over simplification of what you can do--keep your juice color green and if the food tastes sweet keep it out of the juicer.

These are very general answers to your question. I need more specifics in order to tell what is specifically going on with you.
