benefits of juicing recipes guide

by Jennifer Fontaine – Once coveted by health mavens in secret back aisles of expensive health food stores, freshly-squeezed juices can now be enjoyed by the gallon in the most mainstream grocery stores around the world. I’ve even been on the streets of Istanbul, where you can pay less than a dollar to appoint a gleeful Turk with the duty of juicing a vibrantly ripe pomegranate that makes the taste buds sing.

More now than ever, many juicing enthusiasts are opting to invest in their very own equipment, making delicious and nutritious homemade juices in the comfort of their own kitchen. Joining this unofficial club can cost anywhere from $30-$500, but whether you choose DIY or fresh-from-the-store, there is no doubt that juicing is a wonderful addition to any healthy lifestyle.

Benefits of Juicing

The benefits of fresh juices are plentiful, but they offer an even more significant reward to those who don’t necessarily enjoy eating their fruits and vegetables. Juicing can be a fun, new way to include vital vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients in your diet that are found in whole versions of those foods.

While a diet including these essential plant-based nutrients can help protect our bodies against a host of ailments, it’s also important to note that juicing alone does not provide a sufficient amount of recommended daily fiber and can also radically boost your sugar intake. So juice away, but only as a supplement to an already balanced, healthy diet.

Juicing isn’t just for drinking either. You can also experiment by adding them to your broths or muffin batter, or boil your pasta in it for fortification. And it’s a great way to double up on immune-strengthening vitamins during cold and flu season.
