Why juice, anyways? Well, because our bodies are designed to function the very best on fresh, living food! This calls for unprocessed, unboxed, non-toxic nutrients. The best and most enjoyable way to obtain this type of food would be from your garden and home grown fruit and berry bushes. Second best would be directly from the farmer/grower, third best would be from a farmers market, and at the very least, go to the grocery store! Raw foods are loaded with live nutrition. Juicing your fruits and veggies causes the nutrients to be very easy to assimilate into your cells for easy energy. Our bodies use up a lot of energy to digest and when you are already tired, to eat a big meal will cause you to be very sleepy! This demonstrates the amount of energy used to digest. When you want to take a break or heal the body, juicing is the way to go. It gives your body a rest so that it can use the excess energy to repair itself. When fruits and vegetables are juiced, the nutrient content is greater than when eating and chewing a salad. It is better than taking a vitamin pill. Actually, one of the best investments you can make in your health and that of your family is a juicer. No vitamin or mineral supplement can compare. When God made food, He gave us added value! We are just now learning about all the phytochemicals and benefits. There are hundreds of them! Man can't possibly create a vitamin pill that has all the synergistic value put in the real thing! There is just no way! Besides getting all the wonderful nutrients, it is very fun to make and delicious to drink, especially with the new Hurom Juicer! It just seems to squeeze all the flavor possible out of your precious produce! It can also juice soft fruits such as kiwi, strawberries, oranges and banana.
