Thank you Penni! I will try to pick up some Maca when I go to the Natural Foods Market. I appreciate you giving me the information. Thanks a million! :)

Maca is an herbaceous plant native to the high Andean Mountains of Bolivia and Peru. It is one of the only food plants in the world able to thrive at such a high altitude. Maca, and more specifically the root of the plant, has a long history as a superfood. The maca root was prized throughout the Incan empire for its adaptogenic-like qualities that enable it to nourish and balance the body's delicate endocrine system, and to help cope with stress. It also energizes naturally, without the jitters and crashes of caffeine, and it can aid in reproductive function, helping to balance hormones and increase fertility. Navitas Naturals Maca Powder is the raw and natural form of this special root.

Could someone tell me briefly what Maca is? I read somewhere about it being good in smoothies but I'm not sure what it's made from :)

5 Reasons why you should start Juicing Vegetables:

1. Enhanced Energy
Not only is fresh juice easier to break down, it is also loaded with vitamins and minerals in their purest state. With this mega-load of on-demand nutrition, your body's performance will radically change with its new-found source of energy.

2. Detoxification
Every day your liver works hard at cleaning up the mess you've created. Think of it like a cleaning crew that is so in love with you that it works endlessly for free, hoping that one day you start to treat it right.

3. Weight Loss
Many scientists and doctors link the obesity epidemic to inflammation in the body. Many of the vegetables that are great for juicing have been shown to decrease inflammation. At FitLife, we've heard hundreds of success stories that tell of people losing weight after launching a juicing program. Weight gain and obesity can be linked to processed foods, synthetic ingredients such as preservatives, and a general lack of regular exercise.

4. Toxic Taste Buds
Juicing tames those toxic taste buds that will eventually lead you down the path of shame and ridicule if you're not careful. It does this by overloading your cells with vital nutrients that kick cravings to the curb.

5. Sleep Like a Baby
Remarkably, more than 30% of people suffer from insomnia. A big reason why certain people struggle to sleep is a lousy diet. Lots of refined carbs, heavy meats and processed foods throw the body off balance and drain it of vital energy, which in turn messes with a person's sleep rhythm.

BONUS: Improve Relationships
I'm convinced that most psychological disturbances are nutritional deficiencies. When you are getting the right foods, vitamins and minerals, your mind comes into a state of peace and overall joy for life. When you feel healthy and great your partner will feel the same way. You attract what you are, right? Not only will juicing get you healthy, your friends will start asking you what the secret to your success is and you can tell them it's in their kitchen.
