Juicing is a great way to help you eat your 6-8 servings of vegetables a day! Many people who struggle eating their veggies can consume more by juicing. Juicing also allows you to consume more nutrients by adding a variety of different vegetables which perhaps you normally wouldn’t cook, but throwing them in a juicer is simple. Without the pulp, the body can quickly and easily absorb the nutrients to improve your nutrition and health.
With time, juicing improves recovery time as well by adding essential minerals that we normally will not get with solid foods. We have learned that our farmland soil has been depleted of essential minerals compared to 50 years ago. A handful of spinach, for example has 10 times to 50 times less minerals depending on the source. Therefore, in order to get those minerals you would have to eat about 20 lbs. of produce every day. This is very hard to do! But not if you are juicing! You can get these 20 lbs. easily. Another challenge can be with intestinal absorption. Our ability to absorb nutrients can be deficient due to unhealthy lifestyles, pollution and gut dysbiosis. With juicing you increase your chance of getting better absorption, almost instantly!
So grab some veggies and get juicing!
