The Benefits Of Juicing

If you are looking for a quick, convenient and effective way to take control of your diet and ensure you get your "5 a day", there are no better ways than Juicing. Juicing raw fruit and vegetables let you get the maximum benefits to your heath with the minimum of fuss.

Here are some benefits of making your own fresh vegetable and fruit juices:

Juices taste delicious. It is more fun to experiment with your own combinations than to buy the expensive alternatives at the supermarket. Home-made juices are packed full of nutrients. You might also juice and consume vegetables you may not usually like the taste of (for example: try broccoli or spinach blended with apple juice).

Juices can be more nourishing. There is evidence that cooking destroys valuable nutrients. Proper juicing helps preserve vitamins, minerals and enzymes. Plus you might consume far more than if you were trying to eat the same quantity.

Juices provide natural variety. It is often easier to make a combination juice than to prepare a medley of vegetables or fruits. This variety can only improve the diversity of nutrients that your body absorbs from your diet.

Juices can help in treating ailments. There are several specific juice-based remedies for certain complaints. Do consult your doctor and conduct your own thorough research.

Juices help with weight control. Juices can help you control appetite as well as improve your diet’s quality. They should not substitute solids but Juices can be a valuable complement.

General wellbeing. Juicing can sometimes increase resistance to certain common afflictions e.g. colds and flu. Fresh juices are also thought to cleanse the liver, which has many health benefits (http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/what-should-you-eat/vitamins/).

Juicing provides energy without making you feel as bloated as you might after a heavy meal. Juices enter your body fast and may often put less strain on your digestive system.

Juicing is convenient. It only takes a few minutes to prepare a delicious juice. Juices are compatible with a busy lifestyle and you can even take your own home-made “super juices” to work with you.

Juicing keeps you hydrated. If the above valuable benefits are not enough, then remember that juicing also helps you consume enough water. This helps you counteract the effects of a dehydrating office environment or excess caffeine.

It is essential to get a good quality juicer which preserves the maximum vitamins, minerals and nutrients while you juice. Also, a word of caution: some juices contain high levels of natural sugar, so you should monitor the effects on your dental health by consulting a dentist regularly.
