Got Juice?

I am officially 1 week into my juice craze. Needless to say, I am very much addicted to my Juiceman. My husband even texted me while I was working the other day just to tell me about the juice he had made. He too, seems to be a bit addicted to the craft.


There are many benefits to juicing:
1. For one thing, the body can quickly absorb larger amounts of nutrients from juices than from solid foods because the process of digestion that is necessary when you eat whole foods is bypassed.

2. It is an easy way to get beneficial enzymes, which are primarily found in raw foods, into the body. Enzymes in fresh fruits and vegetables have the vital role of converting food into body tissue and energy. Enzymes are also involved in metabolism, GO METABOLISM GO!!!!

3. Juicing also ensures that the body is getting sufficient amounts of phytochemicals, substances in plants that are considered among the most powerful ways to fight disease.

4. Antioxidants and other immune enhancing properties are concentrated in juices.
Juicing can therefore help to accelerate recovery from illness. In fact, juicing with specific combinations of fruits or vegetables can target particular conditions and improve or alleviate symptoms.

CHECK THIS OUT: Dr. Max Gerson researched and formulated a juice plan for cancer patients. He treated 50 cancer patients with juice therapy as opposed to traditional poisoning of the body. It is recorded that 50 of the 50 patients were all cured from their cancer. Info on his therapy is HERE and you can order his book HERE.

5. Anti-Aging and skin benefits- The concentration of antioxidants in juices combats the damaging effects that free radicals have on skin and muscle. Juicing can help keep skin free from wrinkles and muscles well toned.

7.Cost effective! (if you own your own juicer of course) We saved $50.00 on our last grocery bill just because of the fresh produce we were buying vs. boxed food or other items.
