Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead - A Joe Cross Film
Juicing saved my life G’Day. I’m Joe Cross. Before I made this film, I was obese, loaded up on steroids and suffering from a debilitating autoimmune disease. I was at the end of my rope. Though juicing, I “rebooted” my life, lost 100 pounds and am free of symptoms of my autoimmune disease.*
With doctors and conventional medicines unable to help me long-term, I knew I had to drastically change my lifestyle so I turned to the only option left: the body’s natural ability to heal itself. I traded in my typical junk food diet and decided to hit the road with a juicer and generator in tow, vowing only to drink fresh fruit and vegetable juices for 60 days. Across 3,000 miles I had one goal in mind: To get off the pills and achieve a healthy and balanced lifestyle. I lost the weight and got myself off all prescription drugs. I truly “Rebooted” my life. I am now free of my autoimmune disease, I live a happy and balanced life at a healthy weight and I could never imagine returning to my old ways again. And you know what? If I can do it, so can you! |

Published on Jun 27, 2012 Understand the process of digestion and the problems that may occur along the way. - Digestion is the process by which food is broken down, allowing nutrients to be absorbed and used by cells. Food travels from the mouth to the stomach, where it is mixed with acids and enzymes, and then to the small intestine where most digestion and absorption of nutrients occurs. If we consume too much of particular nutritients, such as fats, the process can become disrupted causing fatty liver disease or irritable bowel syndrome. Watch this video to follow food as it travels from your mouth through the rest of your body! |

Published on May 8, 2012 The final stages of digestion take place in the colon. There, water from the undigested food is gradually reabsorbed until a solid stool is formed. The stool is pushed through the digestive tract by small muscle contractions known as peristalsis. Constipation can occur if too much water is absorbed or if peristalsis is slowed. Constipation can also be caused by a diet low in fiber or emotional stress. Watch this video to better understand the causes of constipation. |
