Juices are the perfect fast food for today's eat-on-the-run lifestyle. They contain all the goodness of the whole product in a condensed form. For example, half a kilo of carrots can be a significant source of calcium and protein, but those five carrots may be more than you’re willing to eat at a single meal. Juicing concentrates that half-kilo into a single glass of easy to drink juice. These nutrients are quickly assimilated since the body does not have to separate the fibre.
Fresh juice provides us with minerals, vitamins, essential fatty acids, carbohydrates, proteins and much more. All of these factors are vital to maintaining good health. You will find that when you make fresh juice a daily part of your diet, you will have increased energy, a glowing complexion, strengthened immune system, stronger bones and a reduced risk of disease. It is recommended that you drink at least half a litre of freshly squeezed juice each day.
Although eating fruits and vegetables in their natural state does provide us with a substantial amount of vitamins and minerals, we only obtain the maximum benefits from them when they are juiced. Much of their goodness is locked in the fibre, which is expelled from the body.
