Juicing for Good Health

We've all done it, said we were gonna eat more vegetable.  Promised to get more fruit into the diet.  How many times have you actually gone out and bought some fruit just to let it go bad?  It can be hard to get down, especially vegetables and especially 6 servings of fruits and vegetable daily.    That's why I turned to juicing.  It is such a great way to get the nutrients and benefits of produce in concentrated form.  I could never eat more than one or two carrots at a time.  Juice a pound of carrots into a small glass of yummy juice.  I can put the equivalent of a large salad in the juicer and make a cup of pleasant tasting liquid that I can take with me in the car, or chug on my way out the door.  I literally start my day with a Cup of salad! 

The nutritional benefits of juicing cannot be paralleled.  It is liquid vitamins in the purest form!.  There are so many supplements manufactured in labs that promise green food, or chlorophyll,  but these are powdered and dried out.  You get all this great stuff naturally when you juice.  You can get calcium, potassium, vitamins a and e etc.  In the liquid form the nutrients are absorbed right into your system.  Plus there a live enzymes and good bacteria in the veggies that are great for you.  People who juice have a glow about them that really indicated good health.
If there is a juice bar in your neighborhood I really recommend you give it a shot.  And when if you'd like to know more, check out http://totzsays.blogspot.com/
