Ten Reasons to Juice


1. Cleansing and Alkalizing

Green leafy vegetables and grasses are the most cleansing and alkalizing to the body. By juicing them you are giving your body what it needs to balance your pH level and keep yourself in optimal health.

2. Enzymes

Freshly extracted juices are the best source of live enzymes.

3. Nutrients, vitamins, and minerals

Juiced fruits and vegetables provide your body with high amounts of absorbable chlorophyll, amino acids, minerals, vitamins, and phytonutrients.

4. Easier to digest and absorb

Juicing takes the strain off the digestive system. By extracting the juice from the fiber, it predigests the fruits and vegetables for you, making the nutrients more readily available for easy absorption. Fiber in the diet is important, though, so drink your vegetables and eat your fruit.

5. Easier to consume

Years of eating nutritionally deficient food means that a lot of alkalizing green foods are needed to rebalance our bodies. We couldn’t eat enough greens to address this imbalance. Juicing provides a simple and effective way to get maximum goodness into the body without having to graze on grass all day long.

6. True hydration

The planet is over 70 percent water and so are our bodies. Our blood consists of around 94 percent water. Foods in their natural and raw state have a high water content. By drinking these water-rich fruit and vegetable juices we can ensure and enjoy proper hydration.

7. Antioxidants

Green juice provides the body with huge amounts of antioxidants. Antioxidants fortify our immune systems and stop our bodies rusting from the inside out.

8. Delivers oxygen to your cells

When our bodies are acidic the red blood cells clump together and oxygen cannot get to all the cells. Juicing alkalizes the blood so that the red blood cells can flow freely once again and deliver oxygen to each and every cell in your body. When your body is charged with oxygen your mind is clear and sharp and you feel energized.

9. Disease prevention

It is no coincidence that strong therapeutic green vegetable, sprout, grass, and fruit juices form the cornerstone of every successful disease prevention center and clinic around the world.

10. Calming

The magnesium and chlorophyll in green juices soothes and calms the nervous system and minimizes stress in the body.
