Apart from eating many of the wonderful vegetables and fruits that
inhabit our planet, drinking them is equally nourishing and
satisfying. Juicing vegetables and fruits can also create a dynamic
taste treat, causing your taste buds to dance with undiscovered
delight. If you're new to juicing, I recommend only juicing
vegetables and fruits that you enjoy eating. As time goes on, you
can try out other foods as well as increased amounts of those foods.
Concentrated Nutrients
As a dedicated vegetarian, you are well aware of the benefits of
eating fruits and vegetables daily. What you may not have known, is
that by actually juicing these delicious foods, you are consuming
the maximum concentrated benefits of their nutrients. How? Simple,
when you cook food, you loose up to 97% of their nutrients. That's
quite a loss huh? There are certain precautions and methods towards
picking, storing and cooking food, that will minimize the loss of
nutrients, but that's another article. Suffice to say, juicing your
foods will retain almost a 100% if not all depending on certain
circumstances. When you juice, you take raw vegetables and fruits to
do the job. Because juicing produces no heat or any other method
that causes nutritional loss, you consume high levels of nutrients.
Vital Nutrients
There are some nutrients like certain antioxidants that do an
outstanding job fighting lung cancer, stroke and heart disease. By
cooking away anywhere from 74% to 97% of these nutrients, you are
actually doing yourself a disservice and a potentially lethal one at
that. There are other numerous nutrients that also fight disease on
our behalf. To consume the entire village, start juicing and
drinking them on a regular basis. Nutrients like beta carotene and
other carotenoids do great things such as boosting your immunity
system.
No Pulp Fiction
It's a known fact that when you juice, pulp remains in the
juicer. Over the years there have been many views on what do with
that pulp and why. From just discarding it to employing other
culinary uses for it. In essence, that pulp contains high levels of
fiber and truly should not be thrown out. Fiber has too many
benefits to simply dismiss it so easily. Some experts recommend
using the pulp in food and others suggest putting some of the pulp
back into the juice for greater health rewards. What I can tell you
is that the pulp acts as a fertilizer for the good bacteria in the
colon and that's a definite plus.
Cheers To Juicing
Well! There are many different views on juicing by many different
experts, but no matter the differences, they can all agree on one
thing, juicing, whatever the method use, contain far more positives
than the many differences and opinionated views varying experts
concede to have. Not juicing is a none option in today's world of
undernourished bodies and minds. Start juicing and gain the many
nutrients that your body craves. A nutrient fortified body is able
to prevent and fight off various diseases and ailments that come
under attack on a daily basis.
