The Benefits of Juicing

My old juicer recently kicked the can.

Granted, I found used on Craigslist and negotiated $20 for it. I couldn't deny it was only a matter of time before the inevitable would happen.

Meanwhile for years I have been eyeing the Champion Juicer. When it comes to juicing it really is the champion.

And so, after mourning the loss, one morning I went back to Craigslist for a good deal, by the evening the Champion was sitting on my kitchen counter. Together we were ready to take on the world.

WHY JUICE?

• Juicing helps absorb all the nutrients - many of us have impaired digestion, this helps all the nutrients to skip most of the complicated digestive steps and gets easily absorbed

• You can consume an optimal amount of vegetables/fruit efficiently - I admit, its hard to get a good amount of vegetables into our diets - this is a fast, delicious and nutritious way to ensure an adequate number of nutrients get in our bellies!

• You can add a wider variety of vegetables to your diet - Many of us eat the same vegetables over and over. This is a great way to get nutrients from many varieties. You can make it bright with beets and carrots, or green with leafies, or brown by combining it all.

It's best to drink your juice right away when the enzymes are alive and ready for action. What to do with the pulp? Next time well explore the wonderful world of juice pulp! Stay tuned!
