.......................Juicing
Vegetables
Vegetable juices are even healthier than fruit juices, and should be included
in the diet to optimise health and well being.
Green
juices, made from a variety of green vegetables, have a rejuvenating effect
on the body because they are rich in chlorophyll (the life blood of the plant)
which helps to purify the blood, build red blood cells, detoxify the body and
provide fast energy.
Green
juice is the perfect fuel for your body. Its high water content means it
is easily assimilated and it contains the whole vegetable except for the fibre,
which is the indigestible part of the plant. Green juice therefore provides
all the healthful ingredients in a form that is easy to absorb and digest.
........Fresh
and Organic
Choose organic fruits and vegetables. These contain the highest and best complement
of minerals since the organic matter in the soil breaks down inorganic minerals
(which your body can't use) and turns them into an organic form. Fresh
vegetables are the best because they are highly complex and carry a high
quality of structural information and order to feed your body. They are also
rich in anti-cancer and anti-ageing compounds.
...................Veggie
Virgins
Vegetable juices, especially
the very dark green ones, can be an acquired taste. If you are new to vegetable
juices and feel a bit apprehensive about drinking them, start off with this
one:
Juice enough carrots to fill half a 250-ml glass. Then juice enough apples to
fill the other half of the glass. (It's 50 per cent carrots and 50 per cent
apples). Drink it for the first two weeks of your juice journey. After that,
start to reduce the percentage of apple juice and either increase the carrot
or, preferably, add some juiced celery and juiced cucumbers. Before long, you'll
find you're becoming a real vegetable juice junkie.
