A Juicing Guide For Newbies

By Joel A. Johnson


Juicing is a very healthy life style. Juicing extracts natural nutrients such as vitamins and minerals in large quantities from fruits and vegetables. This is much easier as you don't have to eat a lot of fruits and vegetables to get these nutrients in such portions.

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.

If you want to go into juicing start with the basics. This will give you the foundation you need.

Start learning about the benefits that are available from different fruits and vegetables. Having this understanding will help you with different health challenges you may be having and set you on the right path.

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.

Be aware not to juice cabbage, kale, or collard greens. These vegetables in their raw form are known to suppress thyroid function. These vegetables should not be avoided however, as they have excellent health benefits, they are just better when they go through some form of cooking.

Remove vegetables from the refrigerator a few hours before juicing. When vegetables too cold are used in juicing they tend to negatively effect your gastrointestinal tract which can lead to stomach problems.

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.

We all know how healthy green vegetables are, but many of us don't enjoy eating them. Add other healthy and pleasant tasting ingredients such as sweet fruits like apples and pears to enjoy your juice. You can also add some lime if you prefer a sour taste.

Remember juicing should be pleasant and not something you try to avoid. Juice what you like to eat and your juicing experience will be better.

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.

When using a heavy duty juicer, remember to remove seeds and pits your fruits before putting the entire fruit in your machine. A disregard for this practice can result in some repairs to your juicer. Additionally, failure to remove fruit seeds such as apple seeds may expose you to cyanide, a toxic chemical found in these seeds.

There you go, you now have a better understanding on how go about juicing. Now learn about juice extractors and you are there.
