The Power of Juicing

Are you getting enough fruits and vegetables in your diet? If you're not sure, the chances are that you probably aren't.

We all know that eating enough fruits and vegetables can be time consuming, and you have to eat a lot of them in order to get all the nutrients you want. Sometimes your stomach just doesn't have the room to eat 10 pounds of fruit.

Juicing is the magical answer

Juicing provides a simple way to drink all those healthy fruits and veggies without having to eat anything at all.

Juicing is the best way to get nutrients directly into your system. Since there is no pulp, the nutrients are quickly absorbed into your bloodstream during digestion.

The only thing you're missing here is the fiber that exists in the pulp. As long as you're getting enough fiber in your diet, you should juice as many fruits and vegetables as you can - preferably once or twice a day. Plus, you can always eat the pulp if you want that extra fiber.

Here are some basic fruits and vegetables you should include in your juicing routine:

Carrots

Celery

Cucumbers

Tomatoes

Apples

Pears

Peeled Oranges

Grapes

Zucchini

Beets*

Spinach

Broccoli

*When juicing a beet, always mix it with another fruit or vegetable because beet juice is strong and can hurt your throat.
