Why juicing instead of eating the raw foods?
Everyone can benefit from juice regardless of their physical condition. Ideally, circumstances would allow us to obtain all of our nutrition from a raw fruit and vegetable diet and thus, juicing would not be necessary. But, most of us do not eat an almost totally raw food diet. Also, the quality of the standard store bought fresh produce is low, the stress we live under is high, and the combination affects proper assimilation of raw produce. Juicing, therefore, is a great means of filling the gaps. It can be likened to getting healing nutrients “wholesale.” Other important reasons for juicing include: * In the juiced form, nutrients are very easy to assimilate. * Juiced foods require little or no digestion; thus, the healing nutrients of the raw vegetables are readily available for assimilation. * Juicing allows the overall healing process to be made much more efficient. Most peoples digestive systems are so toxic and inefficient that their ability to break down raw vegetables is great
