Healing Aids... - Juicing - Benefits

In general, fresh juices provide your body with acetic acid, carbohydrates, carotenoids, chlorophyll, enzymes, essential fatty acids, flavonoids, trace minerals, phenols, proteins, sulphur, vitamins, purified water, and a large variety of other compounds, some of which have yet to be identified!

Fruit juices are generally high in vitamin C and have antioxidant properties. NOTE: Sweet fruits should be avoided if you have candidiasis. If you have diabetes, consult with your dietician, naturopath, or other health practitioner to determine any potential problems you may face when juicing fruits.

Vegetable juices support the immune system, balance metabolism, and facilitate the removal of acid waste from the body. Their antioxidant properties help slow the aging process and prevent against degenerative diseases.

Juicing herbs is an ideal method for administering these healing plants to children when dealing with various ailments and conditions. Herbs also make for an interesting culinary flare to many juicing recipes.

Bearing in mind the fibre factor, juicing provides your body with a higher concentration of nutrients than eating individual fruits and vegetables on their own. For example, one cup fresh carrot juice requires approximately one pound of carrots. As a result, your glass of carrot juice contains the equivalent nutrition of an entire pound of whole carrots in an easy to digest, easily assimilated form!
