JUICE YOUR HEALTH and LOWER TRIGLYCERIDES
JUICING makes a major portion of our diets today and plays a significant role in human nutrition, as it is packed with tons of micronutrients needed for a radiant, energetic life and optimal health.
Juicing derives its merits from its rich sources of minerals, vitamins, and some photochemicals. The benefits of fresh juice is that your body gets to absorb all the available essential micronutrients directly into your blood stream without having to digest the fiber associated with consumption of the raw fruits and vegetables.
Joe Cross, in his documentary “Fat sick and Nearly Dead 1 and 2” acknowledges how juicing helps unleash the natural power of his body. After many medications for his autoimmune disorder, Cross decided to tap into the body’s natural healing power of juicing, and “experienced a dramatic loss in weight and overall reboot of optimal health after his 60- days fresh vegetable and fruit juices fast” he says. Cross’s documentary can be found at http://www.hulu.com/watch/289122 and can also be found on Netflix. So, incorporating freshly prepared juice in your diets can help improve your overall wellbeing, improvement of gastrointestinal health, vision, reduced risk of some kinds of cancers, heart disease, diabetes, lower blood cholesterol and sugar and other chronic diseases.
