Many people go through various efforts to stay fit, maintain good
health, and ensure their longevity. Examples of these practices
include engaging in rigorous physical fitness training, eating a balanced and
healthy diet, maintaining ideal weight and employing an effective stress
management procedure. It is also important to stop smoking, reduce alcohol
intake and avoid the use of prohibited substances.
A person's health is a very important aspect of his life - "health is
wealth". For most human beings, staying fit and healthy is parallel
to being wealthy, for a person's everyday life is influenced mainly by the
state of his mind and body, especially by the presence and absence of certain
diseases.
Poor health can be caused by a host of different factors, such as poor eating
habits, lack of exercise, stress and excessive smoking and alcohol intake.
Unbalanced intake of nutrients, for one, may cause excessive or deficient
nutrient intake, which will definitely affect the body's normal functions.
These nutrients are necessary for a person's growth, metabolism and other
functions. There are six main nutrients that are needed by the human
body in different amounts to perform its various processes. These are:
-
carbohydrates,
-
proteins and
-
fats, or nutrients that are known to provide energy to
the body; and
-
minerals,
-
vitamins, and
-
water, or those nutrients that support the body's
metabolism.
Water, the last nutrient in the list, is sometimes called the forgotten
nutrient, but it is considered the most important. Water is necessary for
the body's growth and metabolic processes. It runs through the blood and
lymphatic system, carries oxygen and distributes nutrients to the cells and
rids the body of toxins and wastes in the form of urine and sweat. If
water and its other liquid substitutes were not present in the human diet,
food digestion, nutrient absorption and waste excretion would be impossible.
The human body is made up of two-thirds water. It needs eight to
ten glasses of water or caffeine- and alcohol- free liquids to replace the
water it loses during the day. The body's need for water is satisfied
by the intake of other drinking liquids free from caffeine and alcohol, such
as juices; fruits and vegetables, which are made of 80 to 95% water; meat
products, which are made of 50% water; and cereals like rice and oats, which
can contain as much as 35% water.
Fruit juices have been scientifically proven to give certain health
benefits, provided that they are taken in moderation. Nutritionists
also suggest that fruit juices should be taken in their pure state and people
should only drink 100% fruit juice. Cranberry juice is believed to prevent
urinary tract infections; grape juice is believed to lower the chances of
blood clots in the heart; and orange juice is believed to prevent stroke and
reduce the risk of heart attacks.
Freshly squeezed juices from fruits and vegetables are excellent
sources of minerals and vitamins that catalyse chemical reactions occurring in
the body. These enzymes also produce the energy needed for digestion,
absorption, and conversion of food into body tissues. An increased intake of
fruit and vegetable juices ensures that the body will efficiently absorb more
minerals and vitamins.
Another helpful benefit of fruits and fruit juices is their ability to
promote detoxification in the human body. Fruits help to cleanse the
body, especially those with high acid levels. Tomatoes, pineapples, and
citruses such as oranges, red grapefruits, and lemons are known for their
detoxifying properties. While these fruits promote cleansing, they still
provide the body with a high boost of Vitamin C!
There is a source from which you can obtain nutrients to help prevent the
onset of mild cases of malnutrition, which is too often not thought of as a
source of the necessary nutrients - and that is juice. There is an
equation that states that a glass of fresh fruit juice is the equivalent of a
serving of fruit. Juice cannot completely replace whole fruit within
your diets, but it can augment the amount of nutrients that you provide for
your body through eating fruit. It is possible to create a large batch of
fresh fruit juice in the juicer in the morning and have that as a drink
throughout the day. This practice can help to top up the nutrients in the body
through the day as they get used up.
Raw food and fresh juices have remarkable cleansing and regenerating effects
on the entire system, as they retain all their nutrients which might get
destroyed while processing and cooking. And of course, it is very important to
keep track of our natural vitamin intake. A rule of thumb is to eat 5
or more servings of fruits and vegetables per day, especially those high in
Vitamin C, Vitamin A, beta-carotene, and fibre. In general, a serving is 1
small piece of fruit, half a cup of cooked or canned fruits and vegetables, or
1 cup raw.
In order to live a healthy and vibrant life in today's modern, fast-paced
world, it has become absolutely critical to eat consciously; including as much
whole, unrefined, unprocessed grains, meats, and produce as possible;
supplement the diet with vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids; get
plenty of rest and relaxation; reduce health-eroding emotions like anger,
resentment, and fear; eat biodynamic or organic whenever possible; and include
plenty of antioxidants in the form of dark, leafy greens and fruits and
vegetables.
All of these components are necessary in the building of optimum health and
success, as well as combating and preventing illness and disease.
Juicing is also a better way to get your vitamins and minerals,
because all of the phytonutrients, soluble fibre and many other complex
compounds that exist in the natural fruit, also exist in its juice;
whereas, each nutrient is individually extracted when it is in supplement
form. Since all nutrients work symbiotically with one another, with each
enhancing or balancing the other, drinking freshly extracted vegetable juice
allows you to get the nutrients in combinations that exist in the food when it
is in its natural state.
Freshly extracted fruit and vegetable juice also provides another,
major key nutrient: water. Everyday factors like caffeine,
over-the-counter medications, salt, cigarette smoking, and alcohol all act to
dehydrate the body. These factors, combined with the fact that most Westerners
do not consume nearly enough water just to reach the basic daily intake, never
mind compensate for what's lost, can contribute to ill health. Since fresh
juices contain ample amounts of this vital substance, this is yet another
reason that juicing could be such an important addition to an overall optimum
health and wellness plan.
The benefits of juicing are many, while the downsides are few to nil.
In a culture where the number of people who get their daily requirements of
fruits and vegetables is dismally low, juicing should be an absolute necessity
and priority, making you full of vitality, increased energy, and a great
enthusiasm for fresh juice.
One of the most grave problems that society is facing is the
degradation in quality of many foods and beverages and the inclusion of many
additives that are harmful to the body. This can include the water
that we drink and many of the meals we buy from stores when we're in a hurry.
All PARTS and ACCESSORIES are available for the Juicers as individual
