Juicing 101
One of the easiest and most delicious methods to get the
required amount of nutrients into our systems to achieve vibrant health is to
drink them. There are many new power juicers out there and they’re being
advertised by celebrities and personal trainers alike on why their approach to
juicing fruits and veggies is the best method for perfect health. Juicing is
one of the best ways to take the equivalent of a huge salad and turn it into
one concentrated nutrient packed beverage. With juicing we’re concentrating the
nutrients of our healthiest foods. Juicing can be used to harness the
therapeutic benefits of foods to address specific ailments and to nourish
specific organs. For example watermelon, apple, parsley and lemons are all
excellent foods for our kidneys. By juicing these foods we are able to take a
large amount of healing foods, remove the fiber and give ourselves a
restorative and nurturing kidney cleanse.
