Juicing Your Way To Health

Benefits Of Juicing
Fruit juice is packed with health benefits. Be it orange, apple, mango, papaya, pineapple, watermelon, cranberry, grapefruit, veggies – what grass, kale, cucumber, celery, beet root, parsley. Juice is the “in” health thing.

The benefits of fruit juices have been established for years. Of course, the fiber-filled fruit is good, but juices can be absorbed much more and faster into our system. About eight ounces a day of 100 percent fruit juice is excellent!

The choices of fruit juices are as bountiful as the choice of fruits there are – and so are the health benefits. Drinking two to three glasses of orange juice a day would reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. Why? Because everyone’s favorite orange juice is loaded with vitamin C, potassium and folic acid – all meant for stronger, healthier blood vessels and a better circulation.

Meanwhile, grape juice, cranberry juice and other juices from brightly colored fruits are loaded with antioxidants that only protect us from heart disease, but more importantly, cancer.
Juicing has become extremely popular these days because of one major benefit – the increasing prevalence of cancer. Name a cancer – breast cancer, colon cancer, cancer of the esophagus, stomach, esophagus, stomach, ovaries – and fruit juice can be helpful. They contain chemicals known as phytochemicals, which stop cancer even before they start.

Fruit juice phytochemicals also seem to regulate the myriad of inflammatory diseases that affect the body, from asthma to arthritis, to allergies.

Fruit juice is packed with the natural sugar fructose, which, according to the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, may induce a hormonal response that promotes the building of body tissues – important for growing children.

Juicing has become the convenient way to get your daily serving of phytochemicals. Juice allows us to get the nutrients in an easily absorbable form that is less taxing on the gut. Plus we can get our juice in a number of ways: freshly squeezed, in slush, cooler, smoothie or cocktail. With so many choices and with all the benefits, there is no reason we should go without juicing.
