The thing with juicing is that it can get very expensive . There is a lot of pulp and not very much of juice . If you have a garden , the pulp can be used as fertilizer . Otherwise , your trashcan fills up pretty fast .
I didn't mind all of that . I did have a problem with the mess . It seemed a lot of unscrewing parts that needed to be washed and put together again .
BUT !
There are many benefits to juicing . You cannot go wrong with an all natural juice versus the store bought kind . Healthy anyway you look at it . I have found a website that has various combinations of juices for all types of ailments . From thyroid to detoxing to cancer prevention . If you don't care for veggies , this is a perfect way to consume them and cover up their initial taste with something as simple as a carrot or apple .

Benefits of Juicing!
1. Many people ask me why they should juice when they could eat the vegetables or fruits. When you extract the juice from the vegetable all you are left with are beneficial micronutrients. Since your body doesn’t have to break down any components like insoluble fiber, your body is quickly absorbing micronutrients, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and much more from the juice. That’s why often you get instant energy after having a juice!
2. Juicing also allows you to consume the needed vegetables and fruits that your body craves and needs for optimal health. If you find it difficult eating raw vegetables and fruit, then juicing is perfect for you. With juicing you are also getting a wide variety of different vegetables into your daily intake

Lottie - I love juicing but can't do it very much. I am diabetic and fruit juices, natural or otherwise, elevate your blood sugar immediately. The fiber in the fruit helps control that, so eating the whole fruit or vegetable is better for controlling blood sugar levels. I didn't know this until a doctor burst my bubble since I was a juicing addict. There's always something to worry about, isn't there?! If you don't have any concerns about blood sugar though, juicing is the way to go!
ReplyDeleteMaureen , I'm glad you brought this to the table . . . . it's a very important point . Thank you so much. What about juicing veggies ? Is it the same for you ?
ReplyDeleteLottie - I haven't really tried just vegees since most recipes call for adding apple or carrots to mute the taste. However, with diabetes, in general, fiber is always an important part of controlling the blood sugar levels. I was only diagnosed within the past 6 months, Lottie, so I am learning a lot about how to get the blood sugar level down low enough to not need any meds - that is my goal for sure. I am getting very close! So really, although it's less convenient to eat the whole fruit/vegee, it is not that big of a deal. There's just so much we are not told about diabetes and how to avoid/control it. It is much more than just not eating sweets! :)
