The benefits from juicing are amazing. You may be wondering: Is it really worth it to invest in a juicer and make your own fresh fruit and vegetable juices at home? After all, why not just avoid the hassle and buy the commercially prepared brands instead?
The answer is, you'd be missing out on the amazing health benefits, as well as the great taste. Plus, making your own juice isn't nearly as complicated as you may think. Here are four reasons you should consider making and drinking your own fresh vegetable and fruit juices at home.
Cooking fruits and vegetables destroys many of the valuable micronutrients in these foods. The same goes for bottling juices.
To preserve them, manufacturers have to heat the juice to a high temperature, destroying the nutrients in the process.
Consuming lots of raw fruits and vegetables will greatly increase the nutrition in your body. But let's be honest: how many of us are going to eat half a raw cabbage each day, along with three or four raw carrots, a whole raw pepper, raw kale leaves and a lime? Most of us don't even have the time to chew all of those foods, let alone want to.
That's one of the huge benefits of juicing. You can easily drink those six to eight servings of vegetables and fruits we're all supposed to have each day. Plus, because they've been juiced, your body can easily absorb them. Think instant nutrients and energy. It will transform your life.
Not only are we supposed to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables each day, but we're supposed to eat a wide variety of them to ensure we get a balanced diet.
But again, how many of us really do that? The vegetables I routinely eat are broccoli, cauliflower and carrots. You'll never see me touching such vegetables as raw cabbage or kale.
But with juicing, you can easily drink these vegetables daily for a vibrant and healthy life.
One of the more desirable benefits from juicing is easier weight loss.
I find that when I drink fresh vegetable juice, I'm less likely to crave snacks and other junk foods.
My body has the nutrients it needs, so the cravings miraculously disappear!
Who would have thought that a couple of glasses of juice every day could make such a huge impact on your health?
But investing in a juicer and making and drinking fresh juices every day can do amazing things for your health.
Cherie Calbom, author of the Juice Lady's Turbo Diet, used juicing to
help cure her chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, allergies and candidiasis.
Other benefits from juicing include improved focus, memory and ability to sleep, as well as a reduction of aches, pains and headaches.
Once you get used to juicing, try a one- to three-day juice fast periodically to help cleanse your body of built-up toxins.
A good quality juicer like this one is an excellent way to lose weight and gain good health.
Once all those toxins are out of your system, you'll be amazed at how
much better you feel.
But be aware that it may take a few months to clear out those toxins,
and you may experience detox symptoms such as flu-like feelings,
headaches and diarrhea.
Fortunately these are temporary, will pass quickly and are well worth the
long-term benefits.
Continue juicing and you'll look better, feel better and live longer.
All for the cost of a juicer and some vegetables. What a deal!
