There are a wealth of reasons why you should be drinking fruit and vegetable juices, ranging from receiving your daily recommended requirements of nutrients to improved health and physical well-being. They supply an easily assimilated source of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and other essentials nutrients from bioflavinoids to phytochemicals. The great thing about juicing is that these required essential nutrients can be readily absorbed by the walls of the small intestine and into the bloodstream where they can begin to do the most good all in a relatively short span of time. This is possible because the fibrous part of the fruit or vegetable has been broken down, the juice extracted and the fiber removed. What we are left with contains all the nutrients you need including the enzymes needed for absorption. The fiber can be gotten from whole grains or just from fruits and vegetables you eat whole without juicing. This will lead to improved health, a better quality of life, and more energy. When foods are juiced and not cooked or processed using heat, they are better able to retain their vitamins and minerals. The body can now also make better use of them faster because it doesn't have to break them down. It also has the added value of more energy available for you, especially if the juice is taken on an empty stomach. Another juicing benefit is in the realm of weight maintenance and weight reduction.
