JUICING - WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

JUICING - WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

Juicing can be a huge benefit to your health, and can also help you lose weight and be part of a balanced diet plan.

It supercharges your nutrient intake by providing your body with pure micronutrients, vitamins and enzymes.

By drinking a nutritious juice, you can kick start your metabolism and give your body a break from all of the strange chemicals you've been challenging it to process until now.

You want to make sure that you drink your juice on an empty stomach so that you can get the benefits of all the goodness into your system quicker.  

If you want to lose weight, then you could juice fruits and vegetables together, such as kale, which has amazing benefits and has lots of plant protein. Apples really help first-time juicers get accustomed to fruit/vegetable combinations and ginger has great flavour and is perfect for detoxifying.

Most commercial juices are processed and lacking in nutrition while freshly juiced fruits and vegetables are loaded with an abundance of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients.

Drinking fresh juice can help us adopt healthier eating patterns especially for those of us who do not traditionally consume many fruits and vegetables.


So How does Juicing Work?

Juicing removes the insoluble fiber from vegetables and fruits. While fiber is an important part of an overall healthy diet, removing the insoluble fiber allows for increased absorption of specific health promoting phytonutrients including enzymes, while the soluble fiber persists into the juice.  By removing the fibers and consuming fruits and vegetables in liquid form, we are providing our bodies with a nutrient delivery system that allows those of us who have difficulty consuming whole vegetables the opportunity to reap the numerous benefits vegetables have to offer.

Why not try:-

Handful of Kale
1 Carrot (washed or peeled)
Half an Apple
Small piece of Ginger
Half a Cucumber (peeled)

Juice away and enjoy.  You can add less or more of the above to your liking.
