Juicing
We are all trying to meet our dietary needs by eating plenty of fruits and vegetables. But it isn’t always possible or easy to consume 5 portions of vegetables and 2 portions of fruit each day. That is where juices come in - they are an excellent way to increase your vitamin and mineral intake and they taste delicious.
Benefits
- The fact that the ingredients are uncooked and unprocessed means you are not loosing nutritional value.
- Low in fat
- Detoxifies, rejuvenates, cleanses and energizes
- Great snack or pick-me-up during the day
- Full of antioxidants that scavenge free radicals (toxins)
To create your own juice you will need a good juicer.
You will notice an immediate difference in taste and colour between the juices you make yourself and the commercial ones in the supermarket. Your home-made juice, because it is made fresh, contains more nutritional value than the store bought juice, which is often loaded with additional sugar and preservatives.
