10 Amazing Benefits of Juicing What You Need to Know
10 AmazingBenefits of Juicing What You Need to Know - Honestly, actually I don't
really like juice. What I disliked the most was exposure to flavors that were
less than pleasing. (Broccoli and beetroot juice just didn't cut it.) In fact,
it was such a disappointing experience that I abandoned the process completely
for about a year.
It was the need to do something about my health that
brought me back to the juicing table. After investing in a juicer it seemed
only fair to give it another shot. If making juice matches the bill, then
surely I can adjust the taste.
Oddly enough, the second time around flavor wasn't an
issue. This time I did a little more research and discovered some wonderful
ways of adding nutritious flavor to healthy drinks. (Carrots, apples, lemon,
ginger, and pineapple to name a few.) More importantly, within just a few days
I was feeling better and after a few weeks I was seeing dramatic improvements
in my health.
Now, past the "don't believe it" stage and
well into the "wish I had done this sooner" phase, I am convinced
that juicing delivers as advertised.
Following
is a list of some of the truly amazing benefits of juicing:
1. Fast and
Easy Digestion - If you are struggling with heartburn and acid reflux
issues this is a really important benefit. Juicing provides almost
instantaneous digestion. Whereby whole foods can take 2 to 3 hours to complete
the digestive process juicing combinations take less than 30 minutes. Juicing
retains the digestive enzymes in raw foods which work to break down food debris
in your digestive tract. Consequently, not only is juice easily digested but
the resulting enzymes help to process other food in your system as well.
The nutrients contained in the juice combinations
helps to regenerate glands and organs associated with digestion thus increasing
your ability to absorb nutrients more efficiently., Improving digestion is an
inseparable part of the positive influence and improvement of life and the
health of those who consume juice regularly. Improving digestion improves body
health. Less undigested food in your digestive tract means more energy and a
lighter state of being.
2. Rapid
Mega-Doses of Powerful Nutrients - Raw vegetable and fruit juicing offers
your body a myriad of essential vitamins and minerals in their most natural and
potent state.
3. Consumption
of More Fruits and Vegetables - Let's face it; most of us fall short of the
fruits and vegetables we should eat each day. Instead we indulge ourselves in a
typical toxic modern diet high on red meat, fat, and junk food. But, in your
heart of hearts, you know that fresh fruits are the healthier choice. In fact,
our preferred diet contributes greatly to the deterioration of our health.
Somehow, somewhere along the way we decided that fruits and vegetables
(especially veggies) just didn't taste very good.
Gradually we pretty much abandoned them altogether.
Juicing enables you to consume large quantities of health giving fruits and
vegetables. And by the way, juicing does not mean that you have to give up
eating regular meals. You only need to juice once or twice per day.
4. Powerful
Antioxidant - There's a lot of talk these days about antioxidants.
Antioxidants are vital for reversing free radicals - impure oxygen compounds
which are produced by the body's metabolism, tampering with DNA, challenging
the immune system and accelerating the visible signs of aging. With juicing you
can access super powered antioxidants in their purest form that will restore
healthful vitality that you thought was long gone.
5. Improves
Cardiovascular Health - Juicing the right combinations helps you to target
specific health concerns. Improve the quality and flow of your blood, regulate
blood pressure, and keep your arteries clean. By juicing you are giving your
body what it needs for good heart health.
6. Detoxes the
Liver - Juicing helps you to gain and maintain a healthy liver. Among other
things, your liver functions to produce bile for the break-down of fats,
convert sugars (glucose) to stored sugar (glycogen), filter harmful substances
from the blood, and store precious vitamins and minerals. Detoxification of
your liver is kind of like getting rid of a clogged air filter on your car and
replacing it with a new one. Toxins poison your system and contribute to
disease and overall poor health.
7. Alkalizes
Your System - Daily stress, aging, obesity, and the typical modern diet
cause our bodies to have a high acidic pH balance. Too much acid is destructive
to the body in numerous ways. Juicing (especially vegetable juicing) brings the
body into a proper alkaline/acid balance which also contributes to improved
health.
8. Nurtures
Eyes, Hair, Skin, and Nails - This one I wouldn't have believed if I had
not seen it myself. My wife, who for years had vision problems, no longer wears
glasses or contacts and she is nearly 60 years of age. The change happened in
just about a month from juicing wheatgrass. Some people even claim that their
hair, which had turned gray, has actually reverted to its original youthful
color after juicing wheatgrass. Sorry, I got sidetracked on wheatgrass. The
important thing to know is that juicing will do wonders for your eyes, hair,
skin, and nails.
9. Boosts
Energy - Yes, you can get off of caffeine and those, so-called energy
drinks. Get your energy boost the healthy way.
10. Targets
Specific Health Concerns - I alluded to this earlier but it certainly is an
amazing benefit of juicing. With a little research you can concoct vegetable
and fruit combinations that can effectively slow down, control, and even
correct specific health problems. Yes, you can get rid of drugs forever.
There you have it and I have just given you a glimpse
of the benefits of juicing. The only way that you will ever know if juicing is
what it is cracked up to be is to…try
it. I believe you will be pleasantly surprised at what it will do for you.
