Juicing For Health
Juicing for health is another hot topic in nutrition. The benefits of juicing are many and diverse. Juicing can be a wonderful addition to your healthy lifestyle.
Let’s look at some top reasons and tips for juicing to help improve your health.
- Organic produce is best when juicing.
- Drink your juice as soon as you juice it to gain maximum vitamins and minerals.
- Juice is high in antioxidants as well as vitamins and minerals.
- Juice because it is made from raw fruits and vegetables provides otherwise missing enzymes to the diet.
- Juicing can help you eat the recommended number of daily servings of fruits and vegetables.
- Vegetable juice is a low calorie and low fat snack.
- The body is better able to absorb the nutrients from juice than whole vegetables.
- Fresh juice contains phytochemicals which help to remove carcinogens from the body.
- Juicing is a great way to hide the flavors of vegetables that you don’t enjoy by mixing them with fruits.
- Many times the highest concentration of nutrients is just under the skin. Only peel those fruits and vegetables that absolutely must be.
All this is good, but there is just one thing that freshly squeezed juice is missing: FIBRE. Why would anybody want to deprive themselves of fibre by throwing it out? You end up with fructose in liquid form instead of eating it in solid form with the fibre! Unless you can’t due to various reasons I believe people should eat the whole fruit. It’s much better for you, period.
