Your 5-a-day
Juicing is a great way to ensure that you and your family are getting the recommended daily
quota of fruit and vegetables. The nutritional content of juice is as high as it is in the fruit or
vegetable in its whole form.
Regularly drinking fresh, organic fruit and vegetable juices means that you are accessing a
fantastic supply of beneficial enzymes. Enzymes are the workforce of the body. They are required
for the digestion of food, producing energy and are vital for most of the metabolic activities taking
place in our bodies.
By juicing you are giving your digestive system a break, while at the same time allowing your cells
to access the many varied benefits of the juice. Juicing helps to detoxify the body on a cellular level
and create a more alkaline body.
Drinking fresh juices also increases the amount of phytochemicals - the powerful substances in
plants that help fight diseases - that you take into your body. Antioxidants and other immunity
enhancing properties are also concentrated in juices.
Nutritional information
Freshly juiced organic fruit and vegetables (particularly superfoods) are loaded with vitamins,
minerals, pigments and phytonutrients and, because they are in liquid form, are easily assimilated
by the body. Not only can this instant and regular supply of nutrients help to build a strong
immune system, but it can:
•
lead to weight loss in a healthy way
•
speed up the detoxification of the liver after alcohol abuse
•
help to accelerate recovery from illnesses and infections
•
help with energy levels and metabolism.
The time factor
Juicing fresh, organic fruit and vegetables every day can be time-consuming, expensive and messy.
Unfortunately, buying pre-packed juices is not a viable time-saving alternative, because the heating
process used to pasteurise these juices destroys many of the naturally-occurring nutrients
(including the enzymes) within the fruit and vegetables and changes the pH from alkaline to acid.
Most antioxidants are heat sensitive and can reduce by up to 15% each time a juice is heated.
The main reason why manufacturers pasteurise their juices is to extend the shelf life - bottled juice
can last for up to 2 years! By the time the juice is packed and sold it may have been heated as many
as 2 or 3 times. Long term storage of pasteurised juice leads to a further breakdown of nutrients
over time.
It is important to note that, regardless of whether the juice is made from concentrate or not, the
alkaline properties and naturally-occurring nutrients are greatly diminished by the pre-packing
process. Unfortunately, the pasteurisation process kills everything, both good and bad, within the
juice.
