Health Benefits Of Essential Juice

By Harriett Crosby


Juicing is the process of making juices from various combinations of fruit and vegetables and has many health benefits. It is an excellent way to add certain nutrients to your diet that you may not usually eat. It should be a part of a healthy balanced diet and not replace ordinary meals. You can buy essential juice from a juice bar or supermarket, or you can make your own with a special juicing machine.

The juice from fruit and vegetables retains the nutrients that would otherwise be lost during the cooking process. These nutrients can help prevent cardiovascular disease, cancer and inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis. Also, the flavanoids and anthocynanins contained in fruit and vegetables can guard against oxidative cellular damage caused by chemical and pollution exposure.

Juicing machines come in various forms and are inexpensive to purchase. The blades will separate the juices from the pulp inside the fruit. Many people think that avoiding this pulp is beneficial to health. However this is not the case. In fact the real benefit from juicing comes from the fact that a large amount of vegetables are not eaten raw so juicing them makes them easier to eat and retains all the nutrients.

Health juices contain a variety of vegetables and fruits, and the various combinations provides specific health benefits to the drinker. Successful juices have a combination of delicious and high nutritional content. Many people add other ingredients such as yogurt, which will create healthy smoothie. It is also great to add nuts or grains into the drink.

For example, certain juices are great for providing energy. A blend of strawberries, bananas, orange and spinach provides energy as well as tasting delicious. Carrot and orange are a common combination that is said to be very good for the immune system and contains a healthy amount of vitamin C and A.

A great juiced drink for anthocynins is a blend of blueberry and cabbage. Anthocynins are excellent at preventing a wide range of diseases. Beetroot, apple and mint drinks are a good source of antioxidants that fight the free radicals in the body. This is best drunk first thing in the morning with breakfast.

An internet search is great way to discover the vitamins, minerals and nutrients contained in specific fruits and vegetables, so you can be creative and experimental with your juices. You could add other fruits, vegetables and ingredients to existing recipes too in order to create a different combination of flavours. The only limit to the possibilities of juicing is your imagination.

So why not try juicing for yourself and improve your general well-being and health. A good quality juicing machine is not costly and is worthwhile investment. Essential juice is fantastic way to compliment a healthy and balanced diet and will also help prevent diseases from occurring in the future. A search in the internet will provide you with a huge amount of juicing recipes that you can try and use to experiment with.
