If you are lacking motivation to start juicing (don’t worry, I took years to get started), here are a few amazing benefits of juicing I have experienced over the past 10 years:
Juicing Boosts Your
Metabolism (And Helps You Lose Weight)
When your body isn’t forced
to spend so much time and energy processing the fibers contained in fruits and
vegetables, it is better able to absorb these key nutrients.
Two cups of
fresh pressed juice contains the same number of vitamins and enzymes as eating
two pounds of carrots, eight pounds of spinach, or almost twelve apples!
Juicing helps boost your metabolism, encouraging your body to work more
effectively and efficiently.
Juicing Helps You Achieve a Healthy pH
Balance
The ideal pH level for a healthy body is between 7.0 and
8.0 – slightly alkaline. An unbalanced pH can lead to health issues like kidney
disease, diabetes, heart disease, obesity, fatigue, osteoporosis, and even
mental health concerns.
Fortunately, this is easy to prevent by
supplementing your diet with alkaline-forming foods like fruits and vegetables.
To balance your system, fortify your juice with citrus fruits and
berries.
Juicing Gives You
Clearer Skin
Many of the vitamins you can easily absorb through
fresh juice can help keep your skin looking great.
Depending on the
ingredients you use, your juice can help balance hormones, repair and strengthen
collagen, reduce the appearance of acne scars, ease stress, and stimulate
circulation.
Look for fruits and vegetables that produce red, blue,
purple, orange, and green juice to maximize these benefits.
There are 3
more amazing juicing benefits I want you to know about but I ran out of time
today - talk to you again in a day or two!
