Juicing is my go-to here is why.
Juicing helps you get all your produce in your body with just one cup. It is not always easy to eat two cups of vegetables each day, for example if we had bananas and oranges with our breakfast that is only two cups of produce and if we eat salad for lunch which consists of lettuce, tomatoes, red peppers and red onions, we had 3 cups of produce and for dinner we had asparagus and macaroni with chicken so all together we had 4 cups, total, good job we beat the recommendation but in reality is this really enough produce on a daily basis and can we really afford to eat vegetables like this if we are rasing a family? And is the vegetable of the same quality, like it was in the pass? And would not raw produce be much healthier than cook produce.
Here is an example here: Raw produce retains more nutrients than cooked produce. This is because cooking can break down or destroy some nutrients. Raw produce is often higher in fiber than cooked produce. Fiber is important for gut health and can help you feel full. Raw produce is often crunchy and refreshing, which can make it more appealing to eat. By the way here is the recommendation for how much to eat here. According to this source The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA): The USDA recommends that adults eat at least 2 to 3 cups of vegetables per day. [1].
There is so many health benefits to adding produce to our diet it could boost the immune system, by providing source of antioxidant’s to protect the body from damage. It aids digestion and constipation along with giving us a healthy skin. When choosing juices choose ones that are not high in sugar, one rule to remember is to add more greens to the juice then fruit. Only add one to two fruits.
Another secret is using the right juicer, it is best to use a quality juicer that gives us less pulp than a regular juicer and give us much more juice than a basic juicer, an expert name Raw Kristina always brags about it, she is a raw food expert and a professional Juicer. But for starters and if you are on a budget start out with a low-end juicer, then work your way into getting a good brand. The goal is to juice at least once a week and then days or more. Here is the video for which Juicer is best.
Have you juice? And do you have a favorite juice you are juicing now.?
