Top 3 Reasons to Juice

From Real Food Forager..... "Experience has shown that the juice of specific fruits and vegetables can help improve body functions and cleanse the body of toxins.  When you squeeze out the juice of vegetables, you receive a concentration of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. Juicing is an important part of the GAPS protocol and it goes well with the later Intro stages."  


Here are her top 3 reasons to juice and the ones that I think are most important (there are actually 5 in her article)...
  1. Juicing allows your digestive system to rest, so that energy may go into elimination, recovery and healing, instead of digestion. During this time, cells can repair themselves and detoxify. Freshly pressed juices provide enzymes as well as vitamins and minerals that are easily assimilated.
  2. Juicing will help to break down the vegetables, making it easier to assimilate, so you will receive most of the nutrition.
  3. Juicing allows you to consume more vegetables than you normally would. Some people may find eating vegetables difficult, but it can be easily accomplished with a quick glass of vegetable juice.
Be sure to check out Gaia's new Juicing Boxes and step up your nutrition a bit!

    About Rawls

    Hi,
    I'm Rawls Whittlesey, President of Gaia's Greens.  I am a Certified Nutrition Consultant (CNC), Yoga Teacher (RYT200) and Self-Proclaimed Greenie!   I started Gaia's Greens so that, selfishly, I could get fresh organic produce each week and could share my find with my friends.  I was so tired of the 60 mile round trip hike to WF or TJ's, and was determined to stick with organics for my health!
