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.

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”.
