Juicing is becoming increasingly popular and we have started to understand how beneficial it can be, but some of the articles I have read seem to get a bit confusing. I don't want to encounter confusing medical jargon about the mystery of how my body works, I want to know in easily understood terms; what it does and how that benefits me. I don't want to be blinded with science so I shall try to do this in the following article; I want to set-out 3 excellent explanations as to why juicing benefits your body:
Juicing fruit and vegetables is an advantageous way to give your body a bump-start of great nutrition. I set-out quite a few benefits in my previous article but wanted to build on these ideas.
1. Juiced fruit and veggies get digested easier than food that hasn't been juiced meaning the natural goodness gets into your body quicker.
2. When you juice, you are consuming more fruits and veggies than you would actually eat if they were whole. Therefore you get even more concentrated vitamin and mineral natural goodness about your body.
3. Detoxification - Put simply, nearly all the pre-prepared food we consume have a large number of different chemicals like preservatives and colourings, these preservatives and colourings are not natural for the body and can in time be harmful. Drinking freshly squeezed juice helps to wash these harmful chemicals (toxins) away
Below are how the body can benefit from juicing:
Getting a heart that beats with health:
The health filled vitamins in Fruit and veg such as vitamins C and E help the blood to work efficiently and to stop it clogging up. You may have heard of Cholesterol and Triglycerides but quite simply they are the fat content in your blood which can cause, amongst other things, heart disease. Blood that has health makes it all run smoothly (Cardiovascular system) and so is really good for your vital organs and a healthy heart. Vitamin C is known to be in most vegetables and fruits, some more so than others. Some may be surprising, here are the top ten:
1: Hot Red & Green Peppers (Chilli)
2: Guavas
3: Bell Peppers
4: Herbs such as Thyme & Parsley
5: Greens (Dark & leafy)
6: Broccoli, Cauliflower, Brussels Sprouts
7: Kiwi Fruits (Chinese Gooseberries)
8: Pawpaw
9: Oranges and Clementines (Tangerines)
10: Strawberries
