Which Juicers?
If you've started looking at juicers and wondered, "But, which juicer?" This site is for you! Determing the right juicer for you needs can be difficult.
But before we get into all that, let's examine why juice at all.
Juicing has become a very popular thing to do because of its many health benefits. It can provide your body with a lot more than just essential vitamins. Juicing a wide variety of fruits and vegetables provide the body with essential fatty acids, minerals, carbohydrates, enzymes and proteins.
Just a couple of glasses per day of freshly juiced fruits and vegetables can ensure glowing skin, reduced illness, quicker recovery from illness and stronger bones. Juicing helps release much of the natural goodness from the fiber. When food is not juiced, but just eaten much of these valuable minerals and vitamins just get lost with the fiber and expelled without being unlocked. Juicing overcomes and releases the locked in nutrients.
The wonderful thing about juicing is that you can get nutrients so much quicker and easier than if you had eaten the same quantity of foods. This is because the nutrients bypass the whole digestion process which destroys much of the natural goodness.
Juicing provides vital nutrients in a much more condensed manner than eating. And since raw juiced foods haven’t been heated the proteins, nutrients and beneficial enzymes remain intact. Note though – juices that are bought in stores have been heated during the packing process so they are not as good for you as juices you make at home.
Juicing may help with weight loss because it can increase your metabolic rate because the enzymes have not been destroyed by heat.
When you regularly juice you’ll find you are better able to fight off illness and slow the aging process and age related illnesses. This is from the phytochemicals found in plants. Powerful antioxidants are also found in plants that may help strengthen the immune system.
Increasing the amount of raw foods that you juice may also help stave off depression because all the extra magnesium, potassium, calcium, folic acid and iron prevent depression.
