According to the American Dietetic Association, drinking juice made wholly from fruits and vegetables is an ideal way to get the greatest nutritional benefit. Look at the color of your juice. The more vibrant the color, the more powerful the juice. Flavonoids, the plant pigments responsible for the colors in fruits and vegetables, also have anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, anti-viral, and anti-carcinogenic properties.
According to research compiled by the North Carolina Research Campus, the American Dietetic Association, the American Cancer Foundation, and the American Diabetes Association, there are almost as many reasons to juice for longevity and anti-aging as there are fruits and vegetables to juice with:
Fresh juice contains proteins, carbohydrates, essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals in a form your body can easily absorb.
Fresh fruit and vegetable juice is rich in potassium and low in sodium, which helps promote cardiovascular health and prevent cancer.
The enzymes in juice are essential for digestion and the absorption of nutrients in your food.
Juice is loaded with powerful antioxidants called carotenes, found in dark leafy green vegetables and red, purple, and yellow-orange fruit and vegetables, all of which neutralize cancer-causing free radicals and promote longevity.
Apple-celery juice reduces inflammation, promotes calm, and restores restful sleep.
Juice from alkaline vegetables including carrots, tomatoes, parsley, spinach, kale, and celery helps detoxify the liver, kidneys, blood, and muscle tissue of toxins that have been accumulating for years.
Cucumber juice is rich in silica, which strengthens connective tissue of muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and bone. Cucumber juice also promotes strong, lustrous hair, glowing skin, and strong nails.
The nutrients in fresh fruit and vegetable juice are also responsible for reducing or eliminating acne, anemia, high cholesterol, bladder infections, bronchitis, canker sores, carpal tunnel, constipation, gallstones, glaucoma, headaches, hypertension, indigestion, insomnia, kidney stones, macular degeneration, menopause, morning sickness, osteoporosis, prostate enlargement, psoriasis, ulcers, varicose veins, and water retention.
