What Makes Juicing Good For You?

Have you been hearing all about the different ways that you can add juicing to your daily activities? There are a few things that you should take into consideration before you add fresh juices to your diet. Not only is it going to be a good idea to learn why the trend of juicing has taken off and the benefits involved, but you can also gather some good information on what you can expect from the process.

Juicing is a great way to detox the body, prevent disease and lose weight.

There’s something appealing about being able to blend up broccoli, kale and cucumbers and mask them with the sweet taste of strawberries. You get your vitamins without having to chow down on salad every day at lunch. Lot of people like this idea! However, there are few things you need to know about it.

To start with, it is always important that you are eating at least two whole fruits along with up to three or four veggies each day to take in your daily allowance. The process of juicing makes this a whole lot easier as you can add both fruits and veggies into the same recipes. Just be sure that you pick a few different colors so that you are able to get a great mixture of beneficial minerals and vitamins along with a unique flavor. Depending on the juicer that you have, you may not be getting the majority of the fiber in each glass. Seeing how fiber is important, you can either look into a juicer that will give you the amount of fiber from each fruit or vegetable or you can add some of the pulp back into the juice before consuming. There are also some people that will use the pulp while they are cooking to add some flavor and texture to sauces and stews.

One of the wonderful things about juicing is that you can have some ready to grab and take with you in your favorite drink containers. Just be sure that you try to drink your juices within about 24 hours so that you are able to enjoy them when they are as fresh as possible.

Fad diets and health fads come and go but one that has stood the test of time is the benefits of drinking lemon water. For many years proponents of drinking fresh lemon juice with pure, warm water have claimed that those taking regular doses of this mixture enjoy some amazing health benefits.

Lemons are filled to the brim with Vitamins. C, B-complex vitamins, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, and fiber. (Fun fact: they contain more potassium than apples or grapes!). So a regular glass of water with lemon juice helps to keep the bodies vitamin C levels topped up – which is great news for those who suffer during cold and flu season. Secondly warm lemon water is said to aid in digestion – making it the perfect drink to accompany morning cereal.

Just remember that lemon juice can be hard on the enamel of your teeth so it’s important to dilute it with water of any temperature. Drink it first thing in the morning, and wait 15 to 30 minutes to have breakfast to receive full benefits.
