The Many Benefits of Juicing and Improved Health

By Rickey McCalpane


Yes - juicing does have beneficial properties that contribute to good health. Unfortunately, there are some detriments to juicing certain fruits and vegetables too. This is because there are a few foods that have more pesticide residue on them than others. And that's why you need to learn as much about juicing as possible, if you're new to it.

Whether or not you need the expensive models is for you to decide. Always remind yourself, though, that the machines all serve the same basic function. That way, hopefully, you won't wind up paying a bunch of extra money just for the brand name--as if this is anything new when it comes to marketing. The important thing is you find something you like and can afford, and then begin juicing in earnest.

Once in a while you should talk to your doctor about whether or not you should be juicing. These are the folks who have serious, existing medical conditions. Among these concerns are diabetes, raised cholesterol and raised blood pressure. People whose weight problems are extreme should also pay a visit to their doctors. Eating fruits means an elevated risk of accidentally taking in too much sugar. In fruits, we're actually talking about fructose, which is the primary sugar carbohydrate in them. It can sometimes cause your blood sugar to spike and this is something to keep in mind. Doctors typically recommend diluting juice with water to keep the sugar content to a minimum. Juicing makes a lot of things easier and offers plenty of variety, which is one of the best things about it. So many people only go after specific vegetables, which is only to the detriment of others. If you don't mind getting out of your regular comfort zone, you can help change this habit by juicing. Eat what you like and then choose the other, unfamiliar things, for juicing. This is highly important for reasons above and beyond the basic balanced diet. You will have so much more nutrition here because these things complement each other. That's why it is important to look beyond what you are already in love with when it comes to veggies and fruits. And you don't know--you might discover something new to really enjoy.

Experienced juicers often tell people who are new that there are some things you should steer clear of until you gain more experience. You probably already know that there are a few different vegetables that will cause rumbling in your stomach. And it is most likely because there is a high concentration of nutrients in the juice. If you're new to juicing, start out with celery and cucumbers. Then include some lime or lemon juice to improve the taste. These two fruits are used more often than any others to help make veggies easier to deal with. They are really good for you, taste good and shouldn't cause you any intestinal distress. Really, all you can do is try different things to figure out what works, which is half of the fun of juicing.

For the most part people understand that juicing is full of health and benefits. Do try, though, not to see juicing as a replacement for eating because it isn't. This means that you shouldn't see it as a liquid meal because it isn't. Juices are simply things that are packed with nutritional value that you can enjoy from time to time. A few people have done juice fasts, which they claim to have been quite helpful. If you find this subject interesting, try to read about it before you actually do it. It won't take long to see that some juices are better suited to fasting than others are. And if you drink juices that are meant to complement fasts, you'll have a much easier time of things. There aren't that many people who genuinely enjoy the preparing and eating of vegetables. Most people who are into juicing, though, really enjoy the process. It might seem strange to you now, most likely because you aren't a person who is used to including juicing in your diet. It's a really great and powerful method of adding some much needed dimensions to your daily food intake.
