Pheeewwwww!! It's been three weeks already since my last post! OMG! Time flies tooooooo fast! Unfortunately I didnt have time to read your stories and your blog writings :( and I'm sure I missed a lot of good information. Plus, I had some problems with my phone and now I need to reinstall an app for steemit. What is the best app for this? What do you use? In Romania we're still having good weather. The temperature didnt dropped under 18 degrees in the day! And in the last days we had 23-24 degrees. Thats huge! When I was a child, at this time it was cold and rainy and I remember coming home from school and being frustrated about walking through the rain and COLD. Now all changed! What's all about? The whole world's climate is changing and this is not new, as you already knew. That's why, I took advantage on the weather and every time I could, I would go and pick some alfalfa greens and make myself a juice. Alfalfa it's a very healthy juice and a strong one. It has some side effects too, I will write them down below but overall it is a super healthy drink. Funny thing, when my grandpa lived, he had alfalfa in a corner in his garden and every time I would go and pick some, he made a joke saying 'you know I planted this for the pigs right'? =) cause romanian people cultivate this plant as food for pigs mostly! https://i.imgur.com/NhuV73s.jpg https://i.imgur.com/LtmBx2j.jpg This field of alfalfa greens is 2 minutes from my home, basically its near the end of my land. Cause I live at country side, thanks God! I'm not joking, I love being here. I lived in the city which is 15 min from my place but it's not even questonable. Living in the city has some advantages, I wont deny that but thousands time I preffer living here. Plus, I drive 10 min and I'm there again. Easy peasy. The field of alfalfa is not mine, but my neighbourgh's. He told me I can pick them to make juice as much as I want so this is exactly what I do! hihi Romanian people are good neighbourgs! https://i.imgur.com/OCurIx3.jpg Alfalfa is similar with wheatgrass, maybe this is more familiar for some of you. @trucklife-family has a post about how she sprouts and juices wheatgrass so if you're interested, go take a look here .

Alfalfa has many potential health benefits, but only a few have been scientifically evaluated.

However, taking alfalfa seeds long-term is likely unsafe. Alfalfa seed products may cause reactions that are similar to the autoimmune disease called lupus erythematosus.

For more Information on Alfalfa (including how to sprout alfalfa seeds), please see these two sources Source 1 and Source 2 . https://i.imgur.com/sbPmTDE.jpg How I juice ALfalfa Greens?There are 2 ways. The short one or the long one! The long one is using a juicer. You know what's coming, right??! All that washing on small parts of the juicer is getting me crazy! + its keeping me busy :p The short one is using a blender and then strain the mixture! So, when I dont have time I put all the ingredients I want in the blender, chop 'em roughly and then strain it to get all the vitamins! That's exactly what I did last time when I juiced Alfalfa!
