Juicer Recipes - Juicing Benefits for Health
Juicing is an easy way to provide yourself with a high level of quality nutrition. It is a practice taken up by many people who are health conscious, who claim how great it is. So what is it about juicing we all rave about?
Well, there are 3 main reasons why juicing is so beneficial :
1) Juice requires little digestion so all the nutrition is quickly absorbed into your body
2) When you juice, you use more fruits and vegetables than you could actually eat. As a result, you are drinking a densely packed amount of vitamins, minerals and other plant-based nutrients.
3)Liver detoxification
Below are some health benefits you can expect from juicing:
Improves the heart and cardiovascular systems:
- Vitamins C and E are both antioxidants that prevent the damaging effects on artery walls by free radicals. They prevent blood from clotting and sticking and keeping it non-toxic. High levels of vitamin C is found in many fruits and veggies. Blackberries, kiwi, spinach and asparagus can be used in your juicer recipes for vitamin E.
- Blackberries are also a good source for potassium and magnesium which are essential for proper heart function and regularizing the heart beat.
Liver detoxification is essential for good health:
- The liver performs 100's of essential functions. Cleaning blood and removing toxins and metabolic waste is one of its main functions. It is extremely important to keep our liver clean so it can do its job keeping us clean and the way to do this is to remove the toxins we deal with everyday.
- Certain nutrients are needed for liver cleansing. Antioxidants beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E, and N-acetyl cysteine are potent liver cleansers. In addition, B-vitamins riboflavin and niacin also aid liver cleansing. Cabbage, brussel sprouts and cauliflower have been found to be great for the liver.
- For help with healthy skin, nails, eyes, and hair:
- The antioxidants vitamins E and C prevent damage to the skin from the sun because of their ability to neutralize free radicals. Juicing blueberries and blackberries will give you a great source of both vitamins C and E if used together.
- 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 thats right! This is made possible by the incredibly healthy chlorophyll, which would need an article of its own to give justice to its health benefits!
Chlorophyll looks like similar to a part of the red blood cell hemin on the molecular level. Scientists have also found out that when chlorophyll is assimilated in the body it actually becomes hemin by the course of a chemical reaction. In other words, ingesting chlorophyll is like receiving a blood transfusion!
Chlorophyll is also a pigment that gives plants their green color. So put the green stuff in your juicer recipes! The darker the green, the more chlorophyll it contains.
Better immune system:
- Juicing on a regular basis with varied juices is the best way to give you a wider variety of antioxidants essential for a healthy immune system. Besides the antioxidants from fruits and vegetables (including vitamins A, C, E), they also provide a plant chemical called phytochemicals. There are amazing health benefits from phytochemicals including anti-cancer properties. - 17273
