Your body’s health is a direct reflection of the ingredients you put into it and the best way for it to be in optimal physical form is by feeding it nutritiously. Juicing is an efficient and effective way of providing your body the power it needs to keep you on top of your game.
In the past, our ancestors lived much closer to the natural environment we were designed for. They ate food in the form it was intended: fresh and unprocessed. Today, while there may be hidden indigenous groups we don’t know about that are the exception, most of us don’t get the same type of nutrition in our food. But by examining eating habits across different cultures and diseases these cultures suffer from, we can conclude that what ails our bodies are a direct result of what we put in.
The greatest advantage to juicing is the increase in potency of the nutrients, minerals, and other good stuff contained in the ingredients. Of course we also need the fiber that comes from consuming the solids of the fruit and vegetables as well; juicing gives your body the ability to make the most out the essential minerals and vitamins.
This happens in a number of ways. For starters, the juice is liquefied to your body can absorb the nutrients in a much more efficient manner. In solid foods, there is always a fraction of nutrients that go to waste because they were trapped inside the solid particles that prevented your body from extracting the nutrients before it completed its lap through your digestive system.
Obviously, the juice contains a lot of water. That is another advantage to juicing because we all know our bodies need a lot of water to function properly. The problem is most people go through the day dehydrated and don’t even know it. If we juice daily at the very least we are adding to the amount of water that is available to replenish our bodies. Water is the medium through which toxins are flushed.
To make sure that you are getting the most out of juicing, always use organically grown produce without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. We already are full of toxins and would like to flush some out, not put anymore in. It’s important to use high quality ingredients in our juice as well as for consumption in its solid form.
Also, the ingredients should be as fresh as possible, there is a statistic stating that by the time the consumer takes the food home, on average, the food is already a few weeks old. So while it’s probably impossible to get fruit right off the vine, tree, or whatever the fruiting parent is, in almost all areas there are local farmers and markets that sell local produce which have shorter trips to travel to get to you.
Fresh means fresh in every step of the process. It is always a good idea to drink your juice on the spot or within the hour of juicing and never drink something more than a day old.
