Restless legs - try a green juice.


Towards the end of my second trimester of my pregnancy with my third daughter - I suffered with 'restless leg syndrome'. It seemed that as soon as I wanted to rest - my legs didn't, I would toss and turn unable to settle as my legs ached and were constantly in a state of unrest. It was suggested I upped my magnesium in my diet as it has natural muscle relaxant properties,. So I made myself a raw green juice full of rich dark, green leafy vegetables everyday, through-out my pregnancy and within 2 days my aching, restless legs - rested.

* A large handful of raw Kale.
* Several florets of raw broccoli
* A large handful of raw Bok Choy or Spinach
* A green apple ( to help add a little sweetness)
* A couple of cucumbers ( to help add a little sweetness)
Wash, slice and juice together.
Use organic, seasonable vegetables and fruit where possible and be sure to wash them all thoroughly before use.
