Green leafy vegetables are probably the best to use in your vegetable juicing program. All green leafy vegetables work well. The easiest ones to use include all the lettuces: green leaf, red leaf, romaine, endive, and spinach. Also try to juice cabbage leaves, as cabbage is very healing and an excellent source of Vitamin C, potassium, fibre and cancer-fighting compounds. Remember to rotate the vegetables you are using in your vegetable juicing program.

Vegetable juice has virtually no fat and no protein in it. That is why it would be helpful to add some green superfoods, such as Spirulina, and some essential oils when you juice: Fish Oil (EPA/DHA, a source of omega 3 fatty acids), Flaxseed oil (source of omega 3 fatty acids), Cod Liver Oil (has vitamin D and vitamin A in addition to the EPA/DHA of fish oil. It is usually less expensive than fish oil also). Evening Primrose Oil (source of omega 6 fatty acids)

.................Juicing as a way of fasting
Consuming only fresh, diluted juices from various fruits and vegetables for a day or more is a safe and helpful form of fasting. Fasting experts believe that juice fasting actually works better than a straight water fast, as it helps to eliminate wastes and old or dead cells while restoring and building new tissue with the easily accessible nutrients from the juices. Water fasting is more intense, often resulting in more sickness and less energy, than fasting with fruit and vegetable juices
