That is the
question! Ok so I had to get to the bottom of this since its such a trend right now and only because I am curious
and would like to do things the right way if I'm going to do it. I see this all the time, where juiced or
blended fruits, and veggies are suppose to be of some health benefit to
you. Whether you want to lose weight
cleanse your system or just get your nutrition in a bottle. After much research, both are beneficial to
the human body in their unique way! Juicing removes indigestible fiber from
fruit and vegetables and extracts the vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients in
juice form. This helps absorb the
nutrients faster into our bloodstream leaving the fiber out and helps cleanse
our liver. Blending however includes all fiber and nutrients from the fruit and
vegetables. By preserving the fibers,
blended drinks help the digestive track by pushing out toxins and leaving you
with the good bacteria in our gut needed for a healthy and regular
digestion. There is still debate whether
some blenders create too much heat and destroy the enzymes however some
researchers have found that to be the opposite! Regardless, I invested in a cold
press juicer and a good quality blender.
To get the most benefit out of this I juice on an empty stomach, usually
in the mornings and blend when I need something hearty during meal time. (My
book coming out soon will give details on how to prepare nutritional food to
help shed pounds, get rid of toxins in your body and support a healthy
digestion system)
Xo,
healthy living
