Juicing for health
2007-05-03
VEGETABLE juicers are surfacing from their hibernation in cupboards to install themselves firmly on kitchen counters throughout South-Africa.
This growing trend is clearly visible in the hundred-fold increase in visitors over the last few months to a juicy new website, www.Best-Jui cing.com.
The interest from all over the world now brings more than 100 000 hits per month, creating a jazzed-up vibe.
Parents are especially relieved to have discovered a solution to the daily broccoli battles and other vexing veggie skirmishes.
Kids are downing colourful glasses of fresh vegetable juice, not even realising that a number of unmentionable green goodies have been added by sneaky moms and dads.
According to Rika Susan of Best-juicing.com, when fresh produce is devoured by a juicer during its daily feeding frenzy, it is transformed into pre-digested food, so to speak.
The juicing process releases all the highly beneficial micro-nutrients from their hiding places in the otherwise inaccessible fibrous cells of fresh produce.
When downing a glass of juice from a juice extractor, the body assimilates these life-giving nutrients almost without effort. The absorption rate of vitamins, minerals and enzymes can increase by up to an astounding 90%. Adding some extra roughage to the diet will compensate for any fibre lost in the juicing process.
Juicing is also valuable in any weight loss or weight maintenance program. It can act as a natural appetite suppressant.
To experience this first hand, try to drink your daily glass of juice just before the main meal. Fresh juice can also be a powerful craving curber.
Raw food fundis, parents and anyone interested in family health and nutrition will devour the articles and book reviews at Best-juicing.com.
This health-enhancing juicing community has one aim: juicers and the benefits of juicing need to be demystified, to mainstream juicing for the masses.
