Do you want better health? Try the juices!
Is your diet healthy enough? According to the food pyramid, everyone should have nine servings of fruits and vegetables every day. Unfortunately, most people don’t get enough healthy items in their diet. But by drinking your fruits and vegetables you can get the full nine servings and enjoy the health benefits of adding more fiber and vitamins to your diet.
But just drinking juice is not enough. Most of the juice you buy at the store is watered down and contains very little, if any, actual juice. They are full of sugar and preservatives, so they are not healthy at all. In fact, most of the health benefits of the juice have been removed through processing. If you’re buying juice, read the labels and make sure you’re getting 100% juice with as few additives as possible.
However, if you make your own juice with products that you select yourself, you will be sure that you are getting the most beneficial and healthful juice. Juicing is a fun and delicious way to get your recommended number of servings of produce. There are many ways to combine different fruits and vegetables to make delicious and healthy juices and smoothies. Putting vegetables like spinach in a smoothie is a great way to get kids to eat healthy vegetables they wouldn’t normally try.
When you juice yourself, the amount of fruits and vegetables you’ll have in your diet will increase dramatically. Juicing is so easy! You can make a healthy juice to drink on your way to work so that you have a great boost for your day.
Your health will greatly benefit from juicing. Many home juicers allow you to use the entire fruit from the vegetable, so you will get all the nutrients from the product. Many types of fruits and vegetables contain more fiber and nutrients in the skin than on the inside. When you juice the whole fruit, you’ll be able to add that extra nutrition to your diet. Drinking healthy juice is much better than taking vitamins every day!
A big benefit of juicing is cellular health. Every day our bodies deal with toxins from the food we eat, the air we breathe, and the water we drink. Due to our damaged environment, toxins are all around us. When toxins build up in your body, you feel tired and sluggish. You are more susceptible to weight gain and disease, and you generally don’t feel well. Juicing that you make from fresh, whole produce can help cleanse your body from the inside out. It will help remove toxins from your cells and create a healthier life.
Many people avoid juicing because they fear it will be too hard. But nothing could be further from the truth. Juicing can be as simple as putting your product in a blender and blending until smooth, then straining to remove the pulp. A home juicer will make juicing easier, since most of them will separate the debris from the juice. There are many different types of juicers to choose from, so do your homework and determine which type is best for you.
Centrifugal juicers are the most common type of juicer you will find. They spin the product very fast to extract the juice. These are a good option for someone who is new to juicing, however they will produce more waste because they do not press or crush the fruit. You will not be able to extract juice from grasses with a centrifugal juicer. You will need a masticating juicer for that. A masticating juicer basically chews up the herbs and releases the juice that way.
Making your own juice allows you to take charge of your health. But by taking control of your diet, you can experience all the nutritional benefits of fruits and vegetables in a delicious way.
