What's So Special About the Long Life Cocktail?

A while ago I wrote about my husband and I making and drinking a Long Life Cocktail every morning as part of our breakfast. Someone recently asked me to talk a little more about the Long Life Cocktail and what its benefits are so I thought I would devote a follow up blog to the subject this morning.

The Long Life Cocktail is a concoction of Ann Louise Gittleman, Ph.D., C.N.S. and is a cornerstone to her Fat Flush Plan. In her book The Fat Flush Plan she describes the benefits of the Long Life Cocktail as the following:

To increase elimination, you will drink this refreshing mixture filled with emulsifying enzymes from unsweetened cranberry juice diluted with water to help digest those fatty globules in the lymphatic system -- your body's fat disposal dump... The high-fiber additions of psyllium (or ground-up flaxseeds) to the cocktail block fat absorption, increase fat excretion,  and bind toxins so that they are not reabsorbed into the body.

She further goes on to say on page 56 that the Long Life Cocktail also "balances hormones".
It just makes you feel healthy reading this, doesn't it? Who wouldn't want to drink a Long Life Cocktail everyday!?! So even though we don't adhere to the Fat Flush Plan these days, we still do drink a Long Life Cocktail every morning.
