     It’s a fact: nothing is more enzyme-rich and nutrient-rich than freshly extracted vegetable juice. It is also the most easily absorbable form of nutrition available! Unfortunately, when most people think of vegetable juice, they typicaly picture canned tomatoe or V-8 juice. However,vegetable juices can be surprisingly tasty and even addictive – in a good way, of course.

     If you feel you never have energy to do things, if you are feeling constantly hungry, if you are craving junk food, a glass of juice can help. Grab your juicer (if you dont have one, then go and buy one, because you are worth it!), buy some fruits and vegetables (see the recipe below for a shopping list), make some fresh juice, and drink to your health! Do this twice daily for amazing results, daily for great results, three times a week for good results, or even just once a week for improvement!

     Fresh vegetable and fruit juice has all nutrients that your body needs in a form that can be instantly digested and absorbed. Its also great for your health. If you search the Internet, you’ll find thousands of stories about people who healed themselves of various ailments, lost weight and improved their well-being by drinking freshly made juices.

Recipe for a Delicious Green Cocktail

     There are many recipes that you can try and many books and resources are available on the subject. I am going to give you this one recipe for a Green Juice Cocktail made with green vegetables, apples and lemon:

Simple version:

1 head romaine lettuce or 3 stalks of celery

5-6 leaves of kale (you can add some other greens too, such as 1 cup of spinach)

1-2 apples

1 whole lemon (with peel)

Additional ingredients (optional):

1 cucumber

1/4 to 1/2 ripe papaya (1/2 results in a sweeter juice)

1/2 cup of of cilantro (or parlsley, or both)

1 cup of fennel

     I like to add some beets or carrots sometimes too, but then of course it is no longer green juice… Some people also like to add a slice of garlic and/or ginger.

Drink it every morning or afternoon to jumpstart your energy!

For most benefits, it is best to drink your juice on an empty stomach.

The Benefits of Juicing: Vegetable and Fruit Juice Advantage

So why juice fruits and vegetables instead of just eating them? What’s the benefit?

     First of all, a juicer separates the juice from the fiber of the fruits and vegetables making them easier to digest, leaving you with organic water with all the vitamins, minerals, and enzymes from the plants. And second, just imagine having to chop and then chew all the above ingredients – it sure takes a while!

     Of course, having fiber is important too, but because it is removed from the juice, your body will not have to waste energy on digestion. The nutrients will go straight into the cells to do their work. So, whenever you are experiencing low energy or any health issues – make yourself some fresh juice!
