In increasing numbers, people are taking their nutrition and their health seriously. Increasingly they are turning to natural foods and jucing to prevent diseases, enhance their health, intensify their energy, and avoid many of the health challenges that are so widespread today.
Juicing means extracting the juice from or pureeing fresh fruits and vegetables; the juice can be consumed or made into a smoothie. It is beneficial to juice your servings of fruits and vegetables rather than taking in the whole food. Juicing makes the nutrients rapidly accessible by bypassing the digetion process. This lets you rapidly take in all the vitamins, minerals, and micro nutrients in the food. These nutrients rapidly pass across the intestines and into your blood allowing your body to put them to use immediately. The nutrients supplied in juice is actually greater because most people cook their vegetables and this destroys some of the nutrients. Enzymes that occupy a key role in your metabolism are mostly found in raw foods. Enzymes convert the food you eat into body tissue and energy, increasing your metabolic rate. This means that you will burn more calories with the accompanying weight loss.
In addition to an increased quantity of energy and assistance in weight loss, juicing can also delay the effects of aging and promote longevity. Juicing gives you access to the essential vitamins, minerals, amino acids, essential fatty acids, and enzymes that raw fruits and vegetables hold. Much of the nutrition contained in these foods is lost in cooking, preserving, and other preparation methods. More importantly, fresh fruits and vegetables contain compounds known as antioxidants. These antioxidants neutralize the free radicals in your system. Free radicals cause cancer, high blood pressure, cataracts, and other degenerative diseases, so juicing gives you the greatest opportunity to head these things off in your life.
Juicing can also help fight diabetes. You probably know, with type 2 diabetes your body becomes increasingly resistant to insulin produced by the pancreas. Recent studies have shown that raw produce is the best super food for diabetics. It nourishes your body and stabilizes your blood sugar levels in ways that cooked produce cannot. Established advice has told people to stay away from all sugars, even the sugars found in fruits. Recently that opinion has changed, and we have found that particular nutrients such as vitamins A, B, and E, iron, potassium, etc. found in fresh fruits and vegetables aid in managing the disease naturally. Vitamin B7, found in mangoes, nectarines, and peaches helps your digestion and activates enzimes. Diabetes means your body fails to process sugars that you eat and your digestive health is important. Plus, manganese -- which is found in carrots, celery, cruciferous vegetables, garlic, beet greens, parsley, and spinach -- helps to reduce insulin resistance overall and improve the metabolism your glucose.
Juicing is a way that puts you in control of your health by optimizing your energy and nutrition levels. With juicing you can alter the recipies and make juices that meet your own needs and tastes. By merely learning about the vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that will benefit and treat your specific disorder, disease, or condition, you can create your own scrumptious recipes and power juices to improve your health.
