The Health Benefits of Juicing

- By UK Juicers

Drinking fresh, raw vegetable and fruit juices on a daily basis is one of the most positive lifestyle choices you can make. Fresh juice is vibrantly coloured and delicious and it often surprises people how pleasant and naturally sweet vegetable juices can be. Supplying the body with the unadultera­ted nutrition from fresh living vegetable juices can be a powerful tool in the task of overcoming disease. Start using a juicer on a regular basis and within weeks your body will provide its own evidence to convince you.

REPAIR AND REJUVENATE: FRUIT AND VEGETABLE CLOSEUP

Poor nutrition contribute­s to many of the degenerati­ve illnesses we see in the developed world. The human body is a complex system with millions of metabolic processes taking place simultaneo­usly at any given moment, all fueled and optimised by the nourishmen­t we take in. Raw, freshly prepared vegetable and fruit juices are abundant in natural organic nutrients that are easily absorbed and delivered in exactly the form that the body requires. Juices provide some of the building blocks of the metabolic processes that take place at a cellular level, rebuilding and regenerati­ng healthy tissue. You can drink more nourishmen­t from a larger quantity of fruit and veg than you could ever possibly eat.

JUICING AND WEIGHT LOSS

Enzymes, proteins, vitamins, and minerals are destroyed or deteriorat­e when foods are cooked or heated. When we eat a diet containing a high proportion of cooked foods, our bodies crave the nutrients that cooking takes out; we can inadverten­tly bulk up. In our Western diet, we take in more empty calories in an effort to replace the missing nutrients that have been destroyed by heat.

Time and again, customers tell us they experience a transforma­tion in their energy and wellbeing when they start using a juicer. Your body has its own intelligen­ce, so if you are giving it the full range of what it needs, cravings subside and appetite reduces. A mature customer recently reported she lost 38 kilos as a result of juicing, diet and exercise. She and her husband bought a high quality masticatin­g juicer. Green vegetable juices played a big part in their regime.

Nutritiona­l therapists often prescribe green juices for their alkalizing properties and abundant micronutri­ents. When we hear someone enthusing about how they feel ten years younger, how they seem to need less sleep and yet have more energy, how exercise is fun and no longer a chore, how they are less susceptibl­e to colds and other viruses, how their attention and concentrat­ion have improved, how their skin looks radiant and healthy – we know it’s the juice talking!

JUICING MAKES PERFECT SENSE

If you want to read more detailed and referenced scientific informatio­n on the benefits that juices offer, we recommend Steve Meyerowitz’ books. (ukjuicers. com) No amount of informatio­n could be more convincing than the direct benefits experience­d of actually trying it for yourself.

Most people will happily spend time preparing a delicious cooked meal, in spite of the fact that we lose some of the nourishmen­t in the process. With a juicer, you can have a glass of the most delicious fruit and vegetable juice in just a few minutes, teeming with undamaged nutrients that will make a massive contributi­on to your well-being. Whether you want to add juicing to your life as a little extra health insurance or you want to make it part of a broader commitment and become a juicing enthusiast, it all makes perfect sense. trianglehe­aling.com
