I have always lived by the adage that if you discover something amazing you should share it with others. That is why I have to tell you about the Fountain of Youth Juice in Encinitas. Yes, I said “juice,” and no, this is not your chain smoothie store where sugary frozen concoctions are mixed up (although they DO have delectable healthy smoothies and delicious sandwiches). You don’t have to be a health nut like me to fall in love with this place.
Owners Abdul and Tania took over this juice store from previous owners just two and a half years ago, and they have a cultish following that brings dedicated customers to them from as far as El Cajon, Mexico and Orange County. Once you visit them you will understand why.
Ironically, one week after acquiring the business Abdul was diagnosed with Lymphoma. He opted to go through chemotherapy, which as most people know depletes nutrients from the body and causes many people to feel ill. Abdul combined daily fresh juice treatments with his chemotherapy–he never felt sick or tired and he is now cancer-free. This is because the nutrients in the fresh vegetable mixtures he drank restored those in his body that the chemo dissolves.
Tania was diagnosed a while ago with adult onset diabetes and had to endure two insulin injections a day. Along with exercise and making better food choices, she began juice therapy–she drinks 64 ounces a day of their green juice (a mixture of various vegetables like spinach, celery, parsley, and cilantro). She has cured her diabetes and no longer requires insulin shots or any medication.
Fountain of Youth juice provides many different types of juice therapy, helping those with cancers, candida and irritable bowel syndrome, for example.
One of the most popular choices is the three day body cleanse. It consists of drinking 64 ounces of fresh juice for three days (a different juice each day, which you pick up beforehand). You simply drink 8 ounces every hour, with 8 ounces or more of water in between, and eat a healthy dinner (protein and vegetables)–no sugars or starches. I personally have tried this and I can’t tell you how great you feel. You DON’T feel hungry because you are putting nutrients into your body, not starving yourself, so you actually have a great deal of energy. You cleanse your organs (liver, colon, intestines, bladder), lose a few pounds and just feel better. You can do this every few months if you like, or whenever you want a great cleanse. Abdul does it once a month.
If you are feeling sluggish or feel a cold coming on you can try a ginger shot. It is a concoction of fresh ginger, carrot, other veggies and fresh cinnamon. When you drink it your whole body warms up instantly and you will feel better…it is one of my favorites.
If you find yourself in Encinitas and want to stop by you will find that Abdul and Tania are a wealth of information on the role different vegetables, fruits, spices and supplements play in our bodies and their benefits to different organs. They are located at 168 N. El Camino Real, in the Baja Fresh/Daphne’s (old Albertson’s) shopping center, in the back. The number is 760.943.6862. Let me know what you think…Salute!
