Juicing - Why It's So Great For Your Health

What do you think of when I say the word "juice"? Do you automatically think of juice in a carton, bought from a shop? That is not juice. What you want is REAL juice, freshly extracted from fresh fruits and vegetables.

Why Juice?

The majority of peoples digestive systems are in bad shape, from years of eating the wrong kinds of foods. This means we find it hard to absorb nutrients from our food, to give our body what it needs to feel alive! This can often create a viscous cycle, where a person's health steadily declines, as they find it harder and harder to get the nutrients their bodies are crying out for.

When you put fruits and vegetables into a juicer, the machine extracts all of the nutritional goodness from the fibers. The resulting drink is pure liquid sunshine, which will become absorbed by your body without needing to be digested.

Vegetables? Really?

Yes, that's right! It's not just fruits that you want to be juicing, it's vegetables as well. Vegetables offer a huge amount of nutrition locked within their fibers.

I know what you're thinking, vegetable juice is going to taste horrible, right? Well, not necessarily, no. The best way to juice vegetables is as part of a recipe involving fruits. Also, carrot juice is sweet anyway. In fact, a good general guide to go by is to always have a carrot and apple base to your juice. So a standard juice might feature:

Carrots
Apples
Spinach
Ginger

You will find that the apples and carrots will sweeten the taste of the spinach, or any other dark green vegetable you choose to include. There are endless variations on this theme, such as substituting pears instead of either the apples or the carrots, and substituting broccoli or watercress instead of the spinach.
