When to Drink Fresh Juices

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

Believe it or not, drinking fresh juice on an empty stomach, at least half an hour before a meal is the best time to drink fresh juice. This is the time when your stomach hungers for food and would digest anything that you put in there.
When drinking fresh fruit or vegetable juice, our body absorbs everything that we consume and wastes nothing. Eating something harmful on an empty stomach will also be consumed which is the main reason why we have to choose wisely.

Because of acidity, though, it is not very clever if a person drinks or eats a citrus fruit in the morning in an empty stomach; drinking it with your meal is best.

Many fruit juices contain potassium which balances sodium and lowers a person’s blood pressure. Vitamin C prevents infections, heals cuts and bruises faster, and assists the body in the absorption of iron. Lots of fruits also contain fiber which aids in digestion and controls cholesterol levels in the body.

Vegetables and fruits have thousands of antioxidants that help prevent and treat diseases. After drinking juices, the stomach should be calm and not growling which sometimes leaves you with a queasy feeling. Drinking fresh juice especially in the morning can also give us energy to last throughout the day.

Benefits of Vegetable Juicing

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

Watching what we eat is very important especially for those suffering from common ailments such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and obesity. These people have a long list of restricted food and it makes life a little less fun.

All health care specialists recommend vegetables to improve a person’s health and a great option for that is vegetable juices. If blended with the right combination of ingredients, the taste can be enjoyed by many. Vegetable juice can also add to a person’s hydration levels.

Juices that have been extracted from fresh raw vegetables are more beneficial because they provide our body with the elements and nutritional enzymes which we require. The body can derive juices from whole vegetables, but fresh juices can be easily digested and assimilated.

Some common vegetables that make great juice are tomatoes, carrots, red beets and cucumber. Tomatoes help reduce acidity and can improve metabolism as well as increase Vitamin C levels, which means increasing your energy. Carrots are high in fiber and helps ease bowel movements, improve vision and burns fat faster. Cucumbers help relieve acidity while cooling your stomach. They have high water content and can keep you hydrated for hours. Red beets are known to be blood purifiers and drinking a glass two to three times a week will help reduce weight by about 15 percent. It is a detoxifying drink and flushes away the toxins in your body.

Reasons to Juice Organic Fruits and Vegetables

Monday, May 25th, 2009

There are plenty of reasons why one should begin drinking fresh juice whether it is fruits, vegetables or an amalgamation of both. Incorporating juicing into our health program is essential for our health because it helps us absorb all the nutrients from fruits and vegetables. This is vital because as a result of making less-than-optimal food choices, we have impaired indigestion. Juicing can help to pre-digest the nutrients for our body rather than having it go down the toilet.

Some people prefer to buy juice in the supermarket instead of making fresh juice using organically grown produce. There are lots of reasons why processed foods are not recommended by health conscious people and physicians. These types of foods contain preservatives and if consumed by people for long periods are known to cause asthma, vomiting and headaches. Benzoic acid aka sodium benzoate is added to margarine, fruit juices, and carbonated beverages. It can produce severe allergic reaction and even death in some people. Some preserved juices are found to contain a lot of food coloring which can cause cancer, allergies and hyperactivity. Artificial flavorings are also one of the ingredients in these types of beverages. Flavor enhancers can cause behavioral reactions, dizziness, chest pain, depression and mood swings. If you think about it, there’s really nothing good or nutritious about packed juice. These products also undergo heat treatment which will degrade the nutrient content.

Eradicating preserved drinks and replacing them with fresh organic juice can not only give our bodies the nutrition it needs, but it can also save our lives from various life-threatening diseases.

Juice Up Your Diet

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

Implementing a juicing plan in your daily diet is one key that can give you energetic, radiant and optimal health. Heating food can damage sensitive and valuable micronutrients which are needed by your body and you can get these back by drinking fresh vegetable or fruit juices together with each meal.

The National Cancer Institute began a campaign that encouraged people to add more fruits and vegetables in their diet. The recommendation was to have an intake of five servings of fresh fruit and three servings of vegetables a day. Just by using a health juicer, this simple routine can save people from having several types of ailments and even cure them. Each glass of fresh juice contains phytochemicals or plant chemicals that hold the key to preventing various deadly diseases such as cancer, asthma, allergies.

To meet your daily dose of fruits and vegetables, squeezing fruits or juicing them is suggested. Mixing an assortment of fruits and vegetables in one drink has been common and is favored by many people. If you combine two different vegetables and fruits per meal, such as apples and carrots or strawberry and banana, that would give you a total of six servings a day.

Fruit and vegetable juicing, though, needs to be done carefully with a special type of juicer since most juice extractors discard vital nutrients with the pulp. For those trying to lose weight, dietitians highly recommend that they substitute juice for a meal. Also, adding a small amount of vegetable pulp into the juice can help make drinking juiced vegetables satisfying.

Getting started with your Juice Fountain

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

Drinking Juice is a great way to get healthy, because you are consuming natural vitamins in a way that allows your body to absorb them easily. The antioxidants that are in abundance in fruit and vegetables combat oxidative stress which is now believed to be the cause of a number of degenerative diseases including many forms of cancer.

But when you start changing your diet and consuming fresh fruits and vegetables, you will experience changes, some of them not pleasant. You will particularly notice this when you stop taking regular stimulants such as coffee, tea and chocolate – You may even find that you get headaches or migraines. This is because your body will discard toxins like caffeine or theobromine from your tissues and as these toxins travel through your bloodstream, they will register as pain, including headaches, joint pains, or even the weakening of limbs.

Fruit juice can also cause a rapid rise in blood sugar which is not a problem for a healthy person, as the sugars in fruits are easily assimilated and digested. But if you are prone to suffer from candidiasis or thrush, it may be better to start slowly and focus on vegetable juices rather than fruit.
The important thing is not to give up. Your body is going through a regeneration process, which will take on average seven to fourteen days to complete, depending on the toxicity level in your body.

And if you haven’t already done so, get a good juicer or juice fountain – even an industrial juicer. Don’t settle for a K-Mart cheapie, this is going to be the most important appliance in your home.

This is the journey to a healthier new you with more energy and a chance to live a healthy, fulfilling life, free of the shackles of disease. But to coin an old saying: “There is no gain without the pain”.
