Ten reasons to try juicing
okay, I
Changed my mind. I
Used to think that juicing was silly because I assumed that the fiber was removed during juicing
I thought it was better to make smoothies which ground up the fruit and vegetables and kept the fiber, but I was so wrong
While smoothies are wonderful. I find that. I really do like juicing better
Besides the soluble fiber for me. The more gentle form of fiber is included in the juice
So here I am on the juicing bandwagon and I want to introduce you to some of the benefits after
Juicing for a few months now. I know how easy it is to do
However, my main reason for liking it is that I feel than I've felt in a long time without a lot of bother and expense
I'm a true believer
one
Discovering an inexpensive workhorse juicer juicing appliances also known as juicers don't have to be expensive
the best juicer on the market well in my opinion is the Breville it's less than
150 dollars and has a reputation with me too as a real workhorse. I
Compared prices with performance and read several reviews before deciding on this brand and model
I love how solid it is
It's inexpensive as juicers
Go and you start saving on your grocery bill right away when you start using it the reviews of different
Juicers tend to agree with me. The more in-depth reviews have estimated that the Breville takes about
70% of the pulp and moisture out
I know it removes a lot of the liquids the mass I see in the pulp container is wet but not soggy at all
Its consistency reminds me of paper match only in pretty colors
Also for me the woman who really dislikes doing dishes this machine cleans
Beautifully in less than 5 minutes all parts, but the screen can be cleaned with soapy rinsing under hot water
The screen comes with its own brush and takes about a minute to lightly scrub inside and out and give a soapy rinse
Dada it's all clean, too
Juicing is not expensive as a matter of fact
It's probably less expensive than your current grocery bill after watching. My meat costs go drastically down
I can confidently say that a lot of fruits and vegetables can be purchased for that
$4.99 to
$8.99 pound of meat if you buy meat cuts that include bones
You also get a lot more edible food with a prepared fruit or vegetable after peeling coring, etc
Then you get with the same pound of prepared and cooked meat
You don't have to go overboard in preparing fruits and vegetables because you would not only lose some edible food
But you would make more work for yourself than necessary
for example
I don't peel cucumbers zucchini or apples of course all fruits and vegetables are washed and
Especially if they've been coated for shine as non-organic apples and cucumbers tend to be they should be scrubbed
Vinegar as a produce cleaner is cheaper than cleaners on the market
3 you can have probiotics without buying
Supplements probiotics are different kinds of fiber both soluble and insoluble
Juicing provides probiotics in every glass as soluble fiber to promote healthy digestion without taking pills
The probiotics healthy digestive bacteria in your gut feed on these probiotics and that helps to keep your digestive
Tract healthy if the soluble fiber is not eaten by probiotic bacteria
It passes through your gut without being digested
Some people tend to think of probiotics as insoluble fiber
however
soluble fiber which fruit and vegetable juicing does not remove are also prebiotics for
saves vitamins and enzymes
It provides the vitamins and enzymes that are found in raw food many of which would be destroyed or leached out by cooking
This is especially important for the water soluble vitamins all of the B vitamins
They are regularly leached out in many types of cooking
five
Juicing is not complicated. You can start with recipes
There are literally thousands online and in print but if you cook at all you can quickly
Abandon all recipes but a few favorites and start making your own combinations in my juicing
I have found that I can play with flavors by deciding which produce I want to include for adding Tang or sweetness
including a sour note tone down intense flavors by adding produce with a more neutral taste and other
Adjustments the quickest way to learn the different flavors is to juice one kind of produce into your juicers pitcher and taste it after
You know what cucumber or celery?
Pineapple or papaya juice tastes like you can add it to a larger pitcher
Don't be fooled by the flavors of processed juices
different apples for example Brabourne or Red Delicious have very different juice flavors
Then juice and taste the next piece of produce
When you add the new juice to what's already in the large pitcher?
You can taste the combination to see the new flavor. You've created. It won't take long to know what you want
for example
I don't like to add very much ginger at all because I don't like the heat that most recipes with ginger
Have I like a fruit vegetable balance?
That isn't sweet but is rather tiny you will develop your own preferences and even if you approach it with trepidation
You'll soon find it fun
Also, don't forget that you can juice raw herbs such as garlic dill or basil note some juicing recipes
include salt or sugar
Avoid them you don't need either to make a tasty juice
Normally, I can't eat apples
But I can easily eat them when I use them in juicing the soluble fiber in Apple's works for me
the insoluble fiber doesn't

Helps regulate bowel activity for anyone who suffers from chronic or intermittent constipation or diarrhea
This is a good answer
It may even allow reducing or stopping medication the major remedies for constipation on the market citrucel
Metamucil etc contains psyllium a water soluble fiber when you juice your fresh
Combinations are loaded with soluble fiber. Why by highly processed
Preparations that last forever on a shelf when you can use a juicer to make your own tasty and fresh fruit and vegetable combinations
For those of us with celiac disease
irritable bowel from fibromyalgia and other systemic disorders
this is so important some people suffer from pelvic floor pain and
juicing can help reduce that too by reducing the bulk that traverses the colon the
benefit to people with digestive problems, especially
Irritable bowel is that soluble fiber is active mostly in the small intestine
That awful feeling of having pelvic floor pain in irritable bowel goes away. I'll discuss this more in my upcoming
article on the benefits of soluble and insoluble fiber
7 juicing is hard healthy, it promotes a large intake of soluble fiber
which is very good at reducing the total cholesterol amount and especially the LDL and
triglyceride counts as we have all heard over and over eating more plant-based food and less animal-based food keeps the
Cardiovascular system more healthy in general that not only keeps the plaque buildup lower in the blood vessels
But it also keeps them more flexible that vessel flexibility keeps the blood pressure lower
Fruits and vegetables are of course pretty well fat-free the produce that have oils such as avocado and coconut
Aren't really good juicing candidates, by the way, although bananas are also heart-healthy because of their fiber and potassium
content they do not contain enough moisture to be used for juicing a
slow sugar absorption
The high amount of soluble fiber in juicing also slows the absorption of sugar in the small
Intestine helping to avoid the spikes and dips in blood sugar levels
Especially important for people with diabetes or who are pre-diabetic
Looking at the carbohydrate content of fruits and vegetables can be confusing because both soluble and insoluble
Fiber are included in the carbohydrate count
However by creating a higher viscosity in the intestines
They slow the advance of sugar through the intestinal tract so it can be more slowly absorbed
So it's best to find the fiber content when looking at the amount of carbohydrates in fresh produce

encourages eating fewer and leaner calories
If you look at the calories list below you'll see the common juicing foods and their calorie counts
unlike the calories in today's processed drinks
You can drink a lot of juice and have a tasty treat that fills you up for quite a while
it also lacks that sugar rush that can be so damaging to your body when you're having fewer sugar highs and lows and
Prepare juice is ready to easily quiet those hunger pangs. You're less often tempted to overeat 10
Juicing allows you to easily store fresh produce when you pick or buy fresh fruits or vegetables in season
You'd love to be able to use them later during the cold months
To have them handy in winter
They have to be canned dried or frozen with juicing in mind when you freeze fresh fruits and vegetables
You don't need to worry about having mushy produce after thawing them out months. Later
You're pulverizing them anyway in the juicer. So as long as you've protected them from freezer burn you're set
Here are a couple of examples
blueberries for many years
I've picked enough blueberries each summer to last until the next summer's harvest because I know
growers who don't spray their berry bushes with pesticides
I also love frozen blueberries as a snack and blueberry frozen dessert because the berries aren't
contaminated in the field
I don't need rinsed them before tossing them in a closed container and putting them in the freezer
When I'm ready to use them in juicing I rinse the frozen berries very quickly in cool water
Let them mostly thaw and toss them into the juicer easy
Beaches I choose freestone peaches for easy removal of the pit
I cut each Beach in half without peeling take out the pit then gently tie the two halves back together with a short piece of
String I toss them in the freezer in a bag and they're fine. They freeze back together when I take one out
I take the string off rub the peach in my hands under running warm water and the skin rolls right off
Set the frozen peach aside to thaw in a saucer then toss it in the juicer fresh Beach juice
How to begin you can just dive right in with recipes and a little juicing here and there until you're comfortable
or if you're thinking about this to help yourself detox a bit, you can do it the way I did I
Practiced a few times then I started juicing
Exclusively eating no other foods. I'm not particularly crazy about going without my favorite foods
But I decided to do this anyway, and I wasn't disappointed
I didn't set a time limit on it only as long as I felt comfortable I
Lasted four full days and most of the fifth then I had a nice supper since that time
I've juiced for part of each day. I tend not to be a breakfast enthusiast
So most days I juice for the morning meal that tends to last me intimate afternoon
Then I have a snack a banana and some nuts or some grapes and eat a regular dinner
However, some days I do wake up hungry or a friend wants to go out for breakfast or lunch on those days
I juice in the evening, and I'm always comfortable
I don't deprive myself if I feel hungry when I'm juicing in the evening
I open a can of soup or have a small piece of meat chopped into a dinner salad in the evening sometimes
Even though I've juiced in the morning. I like to have a small glass of my juicing mix in the evening on the days
I've made a particularly tasty mix
It's a real treat
When I make juice I use a huge glass pitcher that handles twice the amount the Breville juicing pitcher can hold
Which is about 60 ounces
I prefer a squatter pitcher for stability on the work surface with a wide mouth for easier filling. I
Make enough for two days at 30 ounces per day. I don't want any leaching from plastic
So I store the juice in glass jars with stainless steel lids this method is also very handy
I've found that I can throw these sturdy jars in my purse or backpack with no leaking and no breaking for gardeners an
Additional benefit of juicing is that the pulp left over makes a very quick compost?
I'm dumping it on my garden this winter and am amazed at how quickly it dissipates into the soil
Of course, the peelings cores and seeds go into my regular compost
I highly recommend juicing it has a small initial investment
Which I've found is made up a little each month as I see a lower grocery bill
It is very easy to do very easy to clean up afterward and healthy for your body
