A Good Way To Start Juicing

By Joel A. Johnson


Juicing by far is one of the healthiest options these days. Juicing extracts a lot of vitamins,minerals, and enzymes available in fruits and vegetables that your body can absorb without having to eat many fruits and vegetables.

Natural juices in stores have a lot less nutrients and enzymes as the heating process that occurs in manufacturing plants destroys a lot of the nutrients and enzymes found naturally in these juices.

The best way to start juicing is to learn the basics. This may be obvious but many people start something new and choose not to stick with the basic and end up not having a good foundation.

The first thing you should do to get going in juicing is to find out the health benefits that can be derived from the different fruits and vegetables at your disposal. This will help you determine which juice will best suit the challenges or concerns you may have with your health.

As you do your research you may learn that if you have a problem with joint inflammation, you can drink juices with cantaloupe, celery, beet and cucumber to aid with joints and bone repairs.

Note that collard greens such as cabbage and kale should not be used for juicing. They have their health benefits but when raw they are known to suppress thyroid activity. Cook them a little before eating.

When juicing ensure that your vegetables are removed from your refrigerator at least a few hours before you start. Fresh vegetables used too cold for juicing can negatively affect ones gastrointestinal tract that can result in disorder in the stomach.

Learn about the better juices. Normally, a juice with leafy green vegetables such as lettuce and spinach is the way to go. Experts recommend 50-70% greens in a juice.Then use fruits as sweetener. Use less fruits as they can be very sweet and high in calories.

Although green vegetables are good for you, many people don't enjoy eating them due to their taste. You can counter this by adding other healthy ingredients like lime for a sour taste or sweet fruits like pear for a sweet taste.

If you like juicing then juice the vegetables that you prefer eating the most. You should enjoy the juice you drink, it should not be a moment you dread as if you are taking a bitter medicine. When your juice is from something you like eating then it is highly likely to be a pleasant experience for you.

Your juicer is an investment in your health so take care of it. Wash it as soon as you are finished juicing. Look out for those stains from some fruits and vegetables that tend to make your blades and jugs look messy.

Heavy duty juicers are expensive so always remove seeds and pit fruits before juicing to avoid a heavy repair bill. Some seeds such as apple seeds contain cyanide which is toxic. Care should therefore be made to remove seeds.

Now that you have a better idea on how to go about juicing, go ahead and start that healthy lifestyle now. All you need is to learn a little about juicers and you are done.
