Juicer Recipes - Introduction to Juicing Benefits
An easy way to give your body a high level of great nutrition is by juicing. Many health conscious people have already taken up juicing and praise how wonderful it is. You might now be asking, what is this juicing and what is so great about it?
Well, there are 3 main reasons why juicing is so beneficial :
1) The juice does not require much digestion allowing for all the nutritional goodness to be processed rapidly by your system
2) Juicing requires you to use more fruits and/or vegetables that you could eat in a day resulting in a drink that is densely packed with vitamins, minerals and other plant nutrients.
3)Liver detoxification
Below are some of the many health benefits of juicing :
Improving heart health and the cardiovascular system:
- Both antioxidant vitamins C and E prevent the damaging effect of free radicals on artery walls, they prevent blood from sticking and clotting as well as keeping the blood non-toxic. Good to great levels of vitamin C can be found in most vegetables and fruits. For vitamin E you can use blackberries, kiwi, asparagus and spinach in your juicer recipes.
- Magnesium and Potassium are essential minerals needed for a regular heart beat and proper heart function. A great source for both minerals are blackberries.
Liver detoxification is essential for good health:
- The liver performs many important functions. To clean the blood, remove toxins, and remove metabolic waste is one of the livers main functions. We are exposed to so many toxins in our everyday life that we need to be very diligent in keeping our liver clean so it can help do the same for us!
- Specific nutrients are required for cleansing the liver. Antioxidants such as beta-carotene, vitamins C and E, and N-acetyl cysteine are amazing liver cleansers. Also aiding in liver cleansing are niacin and B-vitamins riboflavin. Vegetables such as cabbage, cauliflower and brussel sprouts are known to be great cleansers for the liver.
- For help with healthy skin, nails, eyes, and hair:
- The antioxidants vitamins C and E help to prevent skin damage from sun exposure, due to their free radical neutralizing abilities. Juicing blackberries and blueberries together will provide you with a good source of vitamins C and E.
- A deficiency in riboflavin (vitamin B2) can cause cracked lips, hair loss, dermatitis, greasy looking skin and other skin problems. Putting kale, spinach, and asparagus in your juices will provide you with vitamin B2.
- Vitamin A is the most important nutrient for healthy eyes, but it is not found in plants. Orange colored vegetables and fruits carry beta-carotene. Beta-carotene is processed by the body and turned into vitamin A. Vitamin A is important for the retina and to help prevent night blindness. Vitamins A and C both reduce the risk for AMD or age-related macular degeneration and cataracts. The best source for both of these vitamins is carrot juice.
Blood cell rebuilding:
- Yes that is correct! It is possible to rebuild blood cells by the amazingly healthy chlorophyll which has so many health benefits that it deserves its own article!
On a molecular level chlorophyll looks almost exactly like a component of the red blood cell hemin. More amazingly scientists have found that when you assimilate chlorophyll into the body, it makes the chemical shift and actually becomes hemin. Essentially, taking chlorophyll is almost like getting a blood transfusion!
Chlorophyll is what gives plants their green pigment. This is why it is important to put green stuff in your juicing recipes! Remember, the darker green the veggie, the more chlorophyll it has.
Better immune system:
- Varied and regular juicing is going to give you a wide variety and more than adequate amount of antioxidants which are essential for a healthy immune system. The antioxidants from fruits and vegetables include vitamins A, C, E, plus a wide range of plant chemicals called phytochemicals. Phytochemicals have amazing and varied health benefits, most notably anti-cancer properties. - 17274
