Everyday The Daily Turn On! with That's Fit Life Fit expert Laura Lewis will awaken your mind, your body and your life!Did you know: One of the best ways to finght disease and enhance your health and longevity is to include plenty of nutrient-rich fresh vegetables and fruits. Many of us in this fast-paced, convenience-oriented world find our diets devoid of these healthy foods. Juicing is the extraction of juice from raw fruits and vegetables. The juices are full of disease-fighting antioxidants that are known to clean out any "free-radicals" in your body. If left unchecked, these free radicals could cause the growth of cancer.
What is in juice? Fresh juice, made from raw vegetables and/or fruits is basically water loaded with what researchers have dubbed as "anutrients," also known as pigments, flavors and enzymes. These anutrients include carotenoids, allyl sulfides, tannins, indoles, and plant steriods to name a few. In addition, there are plenty of vitamins and minerals that your body needs in order to maintain optimal health.
Who needs it? Almost everyone could benefit from two to four ounces of fresh carrot juice per day, unless you have a specific sensitivity or allergy to carrots. The juice is loaded with beta-carotene, an antioxidant, which helps fight disease, boosts your immune system and improves your night and color vision! If you want to improve your energy, maybe a fresh vegetable cocktail would do just the trick because of the high concentration of the energy nutrients such as B vitamins and minerals. If you have a difficult time digesting high fiber fruits and veggies, try drinking the juice!
Fresh versus processed: What's the difference? Juices packaged in bottles or cans or stored in your freezer have typically been heated in order to prevent bacterial growth, In addition, many have on their list of ingredients artificial additives that may be harmful to your health. And do you know how long the processed juice has been residing in its container?
Use clean fruits and veggies: If you don't use organic produce that has not be sprayed with chemicals during the growing process or afterwards, you should give your raw buddies a bath! Use a vegetable brush and a biodegradable soap. This should remove most of the toxic residue that you don't need for optimal health!
