The best way to improve your health is simply by doing things that are in line with what we are naturally designed to do. That is, feed our bodies natural nutritious foods and move around just a little more than we do now. Juicing is a way to give your body what it needs without changing your entire lifestyle around. The food available to us today might not be as natural as we would like. Our bodies are optimized to process food the way they were found in nature: fresh, unprocessed, and choke full of nutrients and minerals. Today, most of us don't get the luxury of have quality food but that is no excuse not to try. There are still better options available to us, and your choice in food is a direct correlation to the frequency, severity, and intensity of illnesses that befalls you. The greatest advantage to juicing is the increase in potency of the nutrients, minerals, and other good stuff contained in the ingredients. Of course we also need the fiber that comes from consuming the solids of the fruit and vegetables as well; juicing gives your body the ability to make the most out the essential minerals and vitamins. Your body can extract nutrients much more efficiently from easily digestible mediums such as liquids. This makes sure the maximum amount of nutrients is absorbed and minimal amounts are wasted, unlike when they are trapped in solid form which makes it difficult to extract. The body only has so much time to extract and absorb things before they complete the cycle through your digestive system. Your body consists of mostly water and needs water as the main medium of transporting toxins out of your body. Juicing increases the amount of water per unit of fruit or vegetable by reducing the amount of solid. Just by juicing you are increasing the amount of water you put into your body. Probably not meet your daily requirement since an overwhelming majority of people do not hydrate enough during the day, but it helps to bring you closer. To make sure that you are getting the most out of juicing, always use organically grown produce without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. We already are full of toxins and would like to flush some out, not put anymore in. It's important to use high quality ingredients in our juice as well as for consumption in its solid form. A great way to get high quality foods is by buying locally grown produce. This has the added benefit of the fruits and vegetables being much fresher than the supermarket can offer. In fact, the statistic is that, on average, by the time a consumer brings produce home, it is already a few weeks old. If we can't have it fresh off the vine, at least we can have it off a vine that is only a couple hours away instead of weeks away. Just as you want your produce to be fresh, always drink your juices fresh as well. Drink your juice within the hour of making it if possible. But never drink something more than a day old.
