The Benefits of Juicing

Juicing in the past has been torture for many people simply because the only option was to cut an orange or grapefruit and use a plastic spearheaded tool that didn't really pull the juice from the fruit or vegetable itself. There are some really poor plastic juice squeezers too that just create a lot of work, making it hard for those who have arthritis or other conditions that cause muscle or joint pain. The benefits of buying a juicer are simple, and make juicing more of a joy than a chore.

I personally mention the Jack LaLanne Power Juicer because of the ease of use and the ease of cleaning. I am an auto-immune patient and have horrible muscle and joint pain, and the last thing I wanted to do was push, grind, and pull on something just to feel better. It seemed like an exercise in futility to buy anything else! Using the Jack LaLanne Power Juicer is simple, quick, easy to clean, and is quiet. I have been in the company of friends when they have used other juicers they own, and nothing quite compares to the Jack LaLanne Power Juicer.

The Benefits of Juicing; Period

In a quest to learn more about being in good health and keeping it, I came upon a book by Dr. Don Colbert entitled, "Toxic Relief". Dr. Colbert endorses juicing in order to cleanse the body down to the cellular level. Dr. Colbert says the by avoiding other foods and letting the digestive system rest, we enable the vitamins and minerals to be absorbed without hindrance so that our bodies can come forth more revived and cleansed from all that we put into them. Just think of all the chemicals and pollutants that we encounter every day, and of all the heavy fats and sugars that we consume on a regular basis. All of these things go through our liver to be processed, and by giving our digestive system a rest, and allowing the vitamins and minerals to take over, our digestive system can heal itself.

As always, if you aren't sure about what juices are right for you, or if you have diet restrictions, it is best to check with your doctor before juicing. Juicing has done wonderful things for me, and I know it can do wonderful things for you too!
