Fresh vegetables used too cold for juicing can negatively affect ones gastrointestinal tract that can result in stomach disorder. The better juices are those from green vegetables such as lettuce, chard, spinach, and parsley.

Fruit juices may taste sweeter, but compared to green vegetables, they tend to be too sweet and high in calories.

You can add some lime if you prefer a sour taste or sweet fruits like apples if you prefer a sweet taste. If you like juicing then juice the vegetables that you prefer eating the most. You should enjoy the juice you drink, it should not be a moment you dread as if you are taking a bitter medicine.
