Can Juice Made From Raw Foods Unlock Powerful Nutrition?
I have always been one of those people who likes to make sacrifices in order to be "healthy." You figure an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Though I've never had any major health issues, I suspect that diet and exercise play a critical role in helping us all stay healthy. It seems like every study published agrees that a healthy diet and challenging physical fitness program can help us maintain our well being and increase our longevity. Unusually (and in my normal over-achieving geek-like way) I started working out in 6th grade with a running program. My father thought it'd be good for us all to get in better shape so my sister and I started jogging 3 miles a day with him after school.
Since then, I have played sports in school and have always been active, kept my weight in line, and received a good health check from the doctor. In fact, I thought I was doing pretty darn well.
But I have just been reading a book called "The China Study" which is actually making me reconsider the "diet" portion of the equation and ponder whether I am on the right track.
According to "The China Study," which is a wonderful, comprehensible, research-based book citing over seven hundred systematic studies, there is ample evidence to support the hypothesis that animal protein, including eggs, milk and meat, isn't the solution to good health and muscle-growth that we have all been led to believe. I was fully stunned to find out that skim milk is not a super-food when it comes to strong bones, teeth and muscles. In fact, the author points out that in the face of all his own research studies (and much to his dissatisfaction since he grew up on a dairy farm) he has switched to a vegan diet. He now believes a diet free from animal protein is actually perfect for boosting our health and reducing the symptoms of aging.
The China Study book endorses a vegan diet based on unprocessed plant-based foods. You can't be a "junk food vegan" filling up on oil and white flour and other processed foods. Plant based foods means things you can recognize, like fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
Many adherents to this philosophy take this approach a step farther and concentrate on eating raw plant foods, forgoing foods like rice, barley, and pasta, for example. These raw food adherents believe that we preserve and ingest the most nourishment from our foods when we do not prepare them by cooking them.
One of the toughest issues to preparing and eating a lot of plants is that it can just plain take a very long time. Cutting, washing, etc. Is a laborious process. Particularly once you begin to look at incorporating vegetables like lettuce, spinach, kale, and celery - greens that are vital to our growth.
That's where a powerful juicer can solve your issues. Making juice out of your fruits and fruit with the Breville Juice Fountain Elite is a good way to combine your fruits and fruit into a fresh, nutritious and mouth watering drink which may guarantee you get all the nourishment you want, even if you are on the go.
Consider tasty juice recipes like apple-cinnamon cider, carrot juice, or even your own version of V-8. Green smoothies made with bananas and spinach are a fave raw-food vegan classic - the fruit is inexpensive, the taste is great and it's vitamin-packed!
If you've got a regular blender ( for making margaritas!), or perhaps a name-brand juicer like Jack LaLanne's from TV, you will find that they don't hold up to daily juicing, they're tough to use because they are under powered, or they just don't clean-up well.
The Breville Juice Fountain Elite solves all these problems. It is German-engineered to be a top-of the line juicer for people who make juice each day and need a quick-and-simple way to make their juice. In reality, you can produce an 8-oz glass of juice in under 5 seconds and as the juicer takes Huge pieces of apple, carrot and other hard fruits - you don't have to do much slicing. THe juicer even does a pleasant job with leafy or stringy products like lettuce and celery. Including veggies like this in your juice will really increase their nutritive value.
If you are prepared to make some changes in your diet - begin with including more fruits and fruit. Like the Omnivore's Dilemma advocates - Eat Food. Not Too Much. Mostly Plants.
