Why Juice?
Simply put it’s a very easy way to meet your fruit and vegetable quota daily, especially if you’re not a fan of eating them regularly. It also allows a massive variety of nutrients to flood our systems, because by extracting the juice from the fibres we release pure organic vitamin water, taking the fibre or most of it away.
This allows for a fast track delivery of vital nutrients, live enzymes, and organic hydration straight into ours cells. This is important because the modern diet is taking its toll. Many of us are now suffering from impaired digestion (methylation). Reducing our bodies ability to absorb key nutrients from the food we eat.
Juicing still contains some fibre, soluble fibre, found in apples and pears. Fibre cannot penetrate the intestinal wall, it’s purpose is to sweep the colon from unwanted putrefied debris. If you like think of it as a broom and it feeds the bacteria in our gut. Rest assured that by removing the fibre from time to time during a reboot plan, it will not be detrimental to your health.
Understanding the truth about sugar is vital. Maybe you feel that all you would consume is pure sugar without the assistance of the fibre. Rest assured again here too. Natural sugar found in fruit and vegetables are bound to vital vitamins and minerals, (sucrose, fructose, and glucose) these sugars are critical fuel for your whole body system.
Removing most of the fibre is key for our internal filtration system to reset and reboot. This then allows time for the gut heal. It gives the internal filtration systems – the liver, kidneys and lymphatic system a break from the modern onslaught of Frankenstein foods. They can then do their job of detoxing and keeping us clean inside.
The Power of Juicing
Juicing is certainly by no means anything new. It has been around since the early 1900s with pioneers like Norman Walker, who invented the Norwalk cold press juicer, which he used at his Cancer clinics in Arizona. Here he healed his patients with great success. What does happen is we get caught up in the latest fad, and we are on to the next and so on. It’s juicing today, gone tomorrow.
Most people will have some level of toxicity and be deficient in some way of vital nutrients that the body needs to thrive. Environmental toxins enter the body daily, via our skin, nose and mouth. We also bombard the body with unproductive foods that have no nutritional benefit, alongside medications, highly stressed jobs. Life is so fast paced. All this takes its toll over time. Your internal filtration detoxes you. But, we must remember that it’s not going to play ball forever, without some assistance and nurture. We may often go from slightly toxic to toxic overload.
The body is amazing at adjusting, keeping our vital organs away from the dangers of toxins. The Liver is constantly hard at work mopping up the excess, holding on to dangerous viral loads, heavy metals, and their toxic residues which in turn feed the viruses. The body will lay down extra fat cells to encapsulate the toxins in an attempt to keep us well, hence weight gain. We may recognise a toxic system by one or many of the red flags your body is sending you, that we strangely accept as normal niggles of life! For example:
- Digestive problems
- Weight gain
- Disturbed sleep
- Allergies
- Pre Diabetes
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Panic attacks
- Headaches
- Skin problems
- Joint problems
- Arthritis
- Heart disease
- Cancer
STOP and assist your system the way it assists you on a daily basis all your life.
