Why should you drink vegetable juice?

Why should I juice vegetables rather than eat them whole?

Many of us have relatively compromised intestines as a result of poor food choices over many years. This limits our bodies' ability to absorb all the nutrients from the vegetables and juicing tends to facilitate this absorbtion. Also, vegetable juicing allows you to eat more of the vegetables than you normally would otherwise. By incorporating the juice into your healing diet, you will easily be able to reach the roughly 1 pound of raw vegetables per 50 pounds of body weight that is generally recommended we should eat every day.

What type of vegetables should you juice?

Celery + fennel + cucumbers is a good combination that is easily tolerated by those just starting out with juicing. Unfortunately these are not as beneficial as the more intense dark green vegetables. Once you get used to these though you can start adding the better, but perhaps less palatable ones in.

Green LEAFY vegetables are the best to use in your vegetable juicing program. All green leafy vegetables work well. The easiest ones to use include all the lettuces including, but not restricted to:

Red leaf lettuce
Green Leaf lettuce
Romaine lettuce
Escarole lettuce


You can then put in some of the other similar green leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale and cabbage. Cabbage juice is one of the most healing juices when it comes to repairing an ulcer as it is a huge source of vitamin U. Do you know what vitain U helps heals? I was inspired to try something new yesterday so I juiced brussels sprouts. It was very sweat and tasted better than eating them raw. I don't always like chewing green vegetables so juicing is a quick and effective way to get what I need to survive in this toxic country.

Herbs also make a good combination. I put parsley in my juice yesterday and it just made everything right. Parsley and cilantro are great in vegetable juice. Hope this helps. Be peace!

By the way, I own a Breville Juice Fountain Elite. Its a little expensive ($299.00 w/o shipping fees), but it's well worth the price. If your looking for a great juicer, I recommend this juicer to anyone trying to yield more juice out of your vegetables. Most juicers are made of plastic and there's a good chance that you have digested particles of plastic. The best juicer to get is a die-cast or steel juicer. Below is a video I used to watch religiously until I made my purchase.
