Most of us know that we are supposed to consume the recommended 6 – 8 serves of fruits and vegetables per day. Easy to do right? Not always, we know it but so many of my clients tell me they find this near impossible to maintain everyday.What’s the solution? Answer, juicing.
By juicing fresh fruit and vegetables you are able to absorb the valuable micronutrients, antioxidants, enzymes, fiber, vitamins and minerals that are lost when you heat foods. When you juice, the juicer extracts liquid from the whole fruit or veggie therefore including goodness that would normally be lost from the parts we normally discard such as the peel.
The benefits of juicing also helps build blood cells, detoxifies your liver, helps with healthy skin, hair, nails and eyes as well as detoxify and clean out your body. Utilizing more nutrients found in a juice gives you more energy and can lift your mood. A juice requires hardly any digestion and therefore the good stuff gets into your system very quickly.
If you are still not convinced that juicing is the way forward, a recent article in the Sydney Morning Herald stated: 'Raw fruits and vegetables are heroes at fighting disease. People who eat five or more servings daily have half the cancer risk of those who eat only two'.
What are you waiting for?
I am doing a 30-day challenge of no alcohol and I’m juicing everyday. I will blog about how I feel when I have finished the 30 days. Thanks to Kenwood for providing their amazing new JE850 Juicer for my challenge. If you want to get a kick ass juicer this is the one for you, click here for product details.
So, if you are looking to boost your energy levels and enhance your mood, and lets face it who doesn’t want to feel buzzed and happy everyday, then get juicing.
