A Good Way To Start Juicing

By Joel A. Johnson


Juicing by far is one of the healthiest options these days. Juicing extracts a lot of vitamins,minerals, and enzymes available in fruits and vegetables that your body can absorb without having to eat many fruits and vegetables.

Shoppers should be aware that natural juices in stores have a lot less nutrients and enzymes, as they go through a heating process when they were being manufactured.

If you want to go into juicing start with the basics. This will give you the foundation you need.

Start learning about the benefits that are available from different fruits and vegetables. Having this understanding will help you with different health challenges you may be having and set you on the right path.

As you do your research you may learn that if you have a problem with joint inflammation, you can drink juices with cantaloupe, celery, beet and cucumber to aid with joints and bone repairs.

Be aware not to juice cabbage, kale, or collard greens. These vegetables in their raw form are known to suppress thyroid function. These vegetables should not be avoided however, as they have excellent health benefits, they are just better when they go through some form of cooking.

When juicing ensure that your vegetables are removed from your refrigerator at least a few hours before you start. Fresh vegetables used too cold for juicing can negatively affect ones gastrointestinal tract that can result in disorder in the stomach.

Know the better juices. A juice with a lot of green leaf vegetables is better. Ideally, it is recommended that a juice should be 50-70% greens and the rest fruits. Fruits are high in sugar and calories so you don't want to use too much.

We all know how healthy green vegetables are, but many of us don't enjoy eating them. Add other healthy and pleasant tasting ingredients such as sweet fruits like apples and pears to enjoy your juice. You can also add some lime if you prefer a sour taste.

Remember juicing should be pleasant and not something you try to avoid. Juice what you like to eat and your juicing experience will be better.

Your juicer is an investment in your health so take care of it. Wash it as soon as you are finished juicing. Look out for those stains from some fruits and vegetables that tend to make your blades and jugs look messy.

When using a heavy duty juicer, remember to remove seeds and pits your fruits before putting the entire fruit in your machine. A disregard for this practice can result in some repairs to your juicer. Additionally, failure to remove fruit seeds such as apple seeds may expose you to cyanide, a toxic chemical found in these seeds.

Now that you have a better idea on how to go about juicing, go ahead and start that healthy lifestyle now. All you need is to learn a little about juicers and you are done.

  1. Great information thanks but I would like to say the cyanide you mentions is not active like the cyanide poison you think if it is actually B17 a nutrious form nothing in nature is actually poison.
