Juicing vegetables and fruits are an excellent way to not only expand your intake of nutritious foods, but to also ingest those vital micronutrients that cooked food is missing. Cooking and processing food destroys the micronutrients by altering the shape and chemical composition. Juicing vegetables are key as they are low in sugar and they feed the good bacteria that leads to a healthy gut flora. It is recommended that we have at least 5 servings of vegetables and fruits per day. Juicing can almost guarantee you will reach that target. What better way to get those servings than by a delicious glass of organic juice. I can see it now: Kale, beet and carrot. See how the juicing can lead to mixing your own favorite vegetables together, and hopefully juicing will lead you to trying foods that you haven't yet experienced. There are 3 main reasons for incorporating vegetable and fruit juicing into your daily life and health and diet program.
If you are new to juicing I recommend a mid-priced juicer. Centrifugal juicers like the 'Juiceman' are cheaper but they break easily and are low-quality and louder. The Centrifugal juicers are also little harder to clean. The single gear juicers are less expensive and easier to clean than the more expensive twin gear juicers like the Norwalk which runs at about $2000. Don't forget the wheatgrass juicers which are less expensive and can be used for wheatgrass and leafy greens mostly. I find the more difficult the cleaning of the juicer, the less likely you will be to maintain a consistent juicing regiment. So find a juicer that works for you.
People may at first think juicing is a chore but will find that it is quite a treat for your body. Listen to your body. Juicing should be pleasant and it should taste pleasant too. Your stomach should feel good all morning. It is wise to choose pesticide free veggies and fruits when juicing. The juice is perishable but that doesn't mean you can't store and refrigerate it in a glass jar or mason jar. It should be good for 12-24 hours after juicing.
The juice of organic vegetables will not only speed up the process of detoxification, it will flood your body with enzymes, vitamins and minerals for quick absorption, and this greatly benefits the immune system. As the cells of your body are bathed in these fresh, alkaline vegetable juices, they begin to release acids, which are toxins that can be removed through the elimination channels of the body such as the lungs, kidneys, skin etc. Juicing provides a rich source of live enzymes essential to the digestive process.
Enzymes are proteins that break down food into nutrients your body can easily digest. When you eat, digestive enzymes are released from your saliva glands sending signals to the stomach and small intestine in preparation for digestion. Adults have usually used up all of their digestive enzymes by the time they are 30 and often earlier due to the Standard American Diet. It is vital to detoxify the body so our cells can absorb nutrients from the food we eat. When the body has an over accumulation of toxins and nutrients are taken in whether from foods or supplements, the nutrients will not be able to be absorbed very well.
"The truth is that nutritional deficiencies and toxicity go hand in hand. If you treat deficiencies without addressing toxicity you make little headway and likewise, if you treat toxicity without addressing deficiencies then no long-term benefit will apply".

Juicing will assist to break down toxins, cleanse the body, carry oxygen and nutrients directly to the cells and tissues, and allow nutrients to be better absorbed.
Chef Bobby says juice about a pint a day (16 ounces). You can certainly juice more. I encourage it!
Juice Organic vegetables and fruits whenever possible. No exceptions.
This is Chef Bobby's Golden Rule.
- Juicing helps you absorb the nutrients from the vegetables. This is important because most of us have impaired digestion from making poor food choices over the years. This damage has limited the body's ability to absorb all the nutrients from the vegetables. Juicing will help you "pre-digest" them for you, so you will receive most of the nutrition, rather than having it go down the toilet.
- Juicing allows you to consume an optimal amount of vegetables in an efficient manner. If you are a carbohydrate type, you should eat one pound of raw vegetables per 50 pounds of body weight per day. Some folks might find it difficult eating that many vegetables, but it can be easily accomplished with a quick delicious glass of vegetable or fruit juice.
- You can add a wider variety of vegetables and fruits in your diet. Juicing allows you to incorporate a wide variety of fruits and vegetables that you may not normally enjoy.
