Vegetable Juicing Benefits

By Scott Emily

The benefits of juicing are all factors of the ingredients you put into. While each category of ingredients has its own strengths, overconsumption of anything is dangerous. So it is important, just like eating, that we try as wide a variety of foods as possible. Constantly look for new juicer recipes and try fruits and vegetables you've never seen before.

The great thing about juicing is that it people who normally don't like the taste or texture of certain fruits find it much more appealing when it comes in liquid form.

One of the reasons vegetable juicing is preferred in terms of healthfulness over fruits is the lower concentration of sugar. If you are going to consume sugar, at least it is natural fruit sugars but nonetheless some people who much watch their sugar intake will want to consume plenty of vegetables and scale back on the fruits. Talk to your nutritionist so you know how much fruit you could take.

Chlorophyll provides many health benefits and is a very important compound to promoting the well being of the body. It serves as a cleanser, antiseptic, cell stimulator, cell rejuvenator, and help in the building process of red blood cells. To plants chlorophyll serves key functions. For one it makes the plant green and that's all we care to know really, other than its good for you.

The benefits described earlier are actually the functions of hemoglobin in the blood. Hemoglobin is what carries oxygen in our blood and chlorophyll has such a similar structure many experiments have shown our bodies are able to convert chlorophyll into hemoglobin and that in turn enriches our blood.

In fact, consuming sufficient amounts of chlorophyll consistently over an extended period of time has reported numerous health benefits. Among some of the most immediate benefits are increases in blood count, alleviates blood sugar problems, and relieves gastric ulcers on top of the already mentioned benefits of detoxifying and cleansing.

Knowing that chlorophyll is what makes vegetables green, any vegetable contains chlorophyll and more in more green vegetables. But the ultimate richest sources of chlorophyll are from alfalfa, barley grass, chlorella, spirulina and wheatgrass. Depending on where you're from some of these produces may not be readily available. Do your best to vary the ingredients in your juice regularly.

Of the mentioned, chlorella is important for another reason. Chlorella contains high levels of vitamin B12 that is often found in animal products, and rarely in other vegetables. Some vegetarians get in trouble from a lack of B12 when it is easy to obtain chlorella tablets manufactured specifically for that purpose. Crush a tablet and mix it into your juice. Yummy. - 17274
