Juicing for Health
The New Year is a time when many of us think about shaping up and getting healthier. That may be at the top of your list of things to change this year. Maybe it’s time to deal with a health challenge with a fresh new approach like juicing and changing your diet. Fresh juice provides your body with easily absorbed amino acids, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and phytonutrients that heal and rejuvenate your body. When you make fresh juice, you can drink it right away, making it far superior to juice in a bottle, which has been pasteurized (meaning nutrients are destroyed by the heat). It’s also loaded with antioxidants that help your body detoxify a myriad of toxins. For people with cancer or any other disease, this is very important in that it helps detoxify drugs, chemicals, pollutants, and acids that interfere with the healing process.
The nutrients fresh juice provides, such as vitamin C and beta-carotene, build the immune system and help you stave off colds and flu. Juice therapy can even turn certain conditions around. For example, a scientific study has shown that beetroot juice lowers blood pressure.1 Other studies have shown that cabbage juice heals ulcers,2 and cranberry juice is effective in the treatment and prevention of urinary tract infections.3 Doctors at Norway’s Oslo Rheumatism Hospital found that rheumatoid arthritis patients who drank fresh carrot, celery, and beet juice as part of a special dietary program had a substantial reduction in disease activity.4 And the Kame Project showed that those who drank juice more than three times per week compared to less than once a week were 76 percent less likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease.5
This is just a small sampling of the healthy information you’ll find in The Juice Lady’s Guide to Juicing for Health. There’s over 50 ailments discussed with the juice therapy, diet and nutrient recommendations, and lifestyle changes recommended that help the conditions. You may be amazed at what wonderful health changes can result when you start juicing for health.
