Healing Aids... - Juicing - Helpful Hints

Use organic foods as much as possible when juicing for further benefits. While juicing has many beneficial effects on your body, using fruits and vegetables laced with fungicides, herbicides, pesticides, and preserving agents can negate some of the beneficial effects. If organic produce is unavailable or prohibitively expensive, use a fruit/vegetable rinse before juicing. Non-organic apples and cucumbers should be peeled as it is very difficult to remove all pesticide residue from these foods.

As previously mentioned, juice fruits with fruits and vegetables with vegetables. Apples may be combined with some vegetable juices.

Your body can only digest eight to ten ounces (237 to 296mL) of juice at one time. For maximum benefit, drink one serving and wait one hour until your next glass.
