Why juicing?

I have been juicing for 17 years, and absolutely love the results! I do this first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach, to flood my body and cells with life giving nutrients and organic water.
What an awsome way to start the day!
Fresh juices should always be treated as a food, so I never gulp these drinks, but sip them slowly, swishing a few times to mix with my own digestive enzymes before swallowing. I do not recommend juicing fruit as it's high sugar content releases into our system too quickly. (unless it is as a treat once in a while) The full fruit I would save for eating, as the fibres slow down the release of the sugars. BUT, if you can't get used to the vegetable juice and truly don't like it, then juicing fruit is better than not having any juice at all. Over time, slowly start to add different vegetables to the fruit juice until the bulk of it is vegetable. (carrot is always a favorite for newbies because it is very sweet and palatable.)
But, I definately recommend juicing all kinds of vegetables, especially with the addition of herbs and greens! Fresh vegetable juices can cure all sorts of ailments and diseases, from pimples to cancer!

Over the years I have heard many people say "I would rather eat the vegetables or take a supplement". Yes, eating fresh vegetables is obviously a great idea, but by also adding fresh juices to your diet, you can greatly improve your overall health by flooding your cells with easily assimilated nutrients. By incorporating fresh juices into your diet, you are supplying your body with abundant, powerful healing nutrients, enzymes, atoms, and mollecules that a lab cannot duplicate in a supplement! By only eating the vegetable, don't think you are getting more nutrients because you are eating the "full" vegetable.......The cells of the fibres MUST be split open to obtain the enzymes, atoms, mollecules, etc, and in order to do that they need to be properly pulverized! (teeth cannot properly do the job) Anyways, you would have to eat plate fulls of vegetables to get the same nutrients as a juice AND since most people eat way too fast and do not chew their food properly, that would be impossible!
The pulp (fibres) that are left over after juicing, basically have no nutritional value and can be thrown out. (The pesticides and sprays are found in the pulp, so it is best not to use it for food)

I suggest skipping the coffee in the morning and substitute it with a real, live vegetable juice....Try it, it may change your life.  :)
When someone asks me to give them ONE thing that they should do for their health, juicing is always my answer!
