**Fun tips for using the whole pineapple**
- Save the top of the pineapple to use as a brush on your skin. The pineapple “brush” is thought to have healing properties – whether it’s from the natural abrasive or exfoliant actions or the anti-inflammatory phytonutrients, like bromelain, found in this fruit, your skin will be radiant and cuts or minor abrasions may heal even faster!

Hi Stacy,
I am really motivated to change my eating and get fit. I am 2 months post surgery on my left hip and 7 months post surgery on my right hip. I have lots more energy that I am pain free(more or less) and have started juicing using my “Ninja” food processor. I want to get consistent in my juicing before I go to the expense of a juicer.
1.which juicer did/does Joe use?
2. Which juicer is good for a beginner- I have looked at the Brevilles and see there is some variety.
3. I am drinking juices in the morning for breakfast and in the evening. I want to Reboot but am trying to avoid withdrawal. How many juices should I be drinking daily (I am eating less, generally speaking).
4. I drink non cafeineated tea and green tea during the day. How does that affect how much water I need to drink.
I live in Northern Israel and it is getting hot so I really enjoy the juices and teas.
Thanks

Great juice just tried it for the first time. I have a standard breville juicer and usually fill up my pitcher when juicing. I used 3 oranges, piece of Ginger, about 3 cups of pineapple and about 15oz of coconut water. I think I could have used one less orange but it was still very good!
