Juicing has become all the range in the past year or so. Thanks to documentaries I just researched such as Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead and Hungry for Change, more and more people are gradually seeing the importance of juicing organic fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Juicing is wonderful because most people don't get the required intake of fruits and vegetables daily and our bodies are suffering for it. Realistically, if the body tried to consume ALL the fruits and vegetables that is beneficial to it, the digestive system could go into overdrive from all the fibre. That is why juicing is so great - All the nutrinets, vitamins, and antioxidants are extracted from the produce without it iiritating your digestive tract by getting backed up by fibre. You can still eat regular fruits and veggies during the day to get your fibre intake, in addition to a variety of other foods, but juicing maximizes health with little downtime or irritation to your digestive tract.
I made a new friend last month who has a very beautiful and youthful look and I was amazed at how old she is. She's also "team green" and she gave me insight into her beauty regimen and eating habits. She favours juicing a lot and won't stop talking about how her skin has become clearer, more youthful in appearance, and her notoriously dark circles has become lighter, in addition to bruising less. She said she juices every morning before eating so that her body can absorb all the amazing nutrients from the fruits and veggies first, before adding in whole grains and lean proteins throughout the day.
The trick to juicing is to minimize sugar because fruits contain a lot of sugar so she typically adds in only 1-2 different types of fruit per day. Below is the simplest juice she makes. It's amazing for your skin, body and overall health, Glycolic acid, Beta-Carotene, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin K and Zinc are a small example of some of the amazing nutrients that come from this 1-1.5 large glass of juice. Double the ingredients if you're making for two people and enjoy!
Ingredients (All Organic, All the Time)
2 medium/large red or green apples
4 large carrots
1 cucumber
2 sticks of celery (some people don't like celery, so you can choose not to add this veggie)
6-8 leaves of kale (she got them from ShopRite)
1 cup of spinach
1/2 lemon
5 springs of Parsley
Juicing is so easy to do and between prepping the produce, juicing, and cleaning the maching, it takes only 10-15 minutes every morning to do. It's truly one of the best things you can do for your body and you will notice amazing results in a very short time. So what are you waiting for? Buy a juicer and start juicing immediately! You will be amazed with the results.
