The Wonderful World of Juicing!

Sunday, May 30, 2010 by Mitch B
I just finished watching a video and reading an article by a man named Dr. Mercola, who seems to be one of the biggest juice promoters I've ever seen!  He was responding to a question submitted by a woman asking if vitamin supplements were sufficient in replacing vegetable juice.  His simple response- No.

His article goes on to explain all the benefits that come from juicing...
  1. Juicing helps you absorb all the nutrients from the vegetables. This is important because most of us have impaired digestion as a result of making less-than-optimal food choices over many years. This limits your body's ability to absorb all the nutrients from the vegetables. Juicing will help to "pre-digest" them for you, so you will receive most of the nutrition, rather than having it go down the toilet.

  2. Juicing allows you to consume an optimal amount of vegetables in an efficient manner. If you are a carb type, you should eat one pound of raw vegetables per 50 pounds of body weight per day. Some people may find eating that many vegetables difficult, but it can be easily accomplished with a quick glass of vegetable juice.

  3. You can add a wider variety of vegetables in your diet. Many people eat the same vegetable salads every day. This violates the principle of regular food rotation and increases your chance of developing an allergy to a certain food. But with juicing, you can juice a wide variety of vegetables that you may not normally enjoy eating whole.

    Many thanks to Dr. Mercola for the awesome article promoting heart healthy juice! Juice is our passion here at Biotta and we love to see others who feel the same way!  I highly recommend checking out Dr. Mercola's website that is filled with information about fresh juices.  For a look into all of the organic vegetable juice and fruit juice that we stock here at Biotta, just click here!
