Juice Diet Basics

Juicing is certainly one way to lose weight, but it’s also an eating habit you can add to your diet for the long term to promote a healthy lifestyle.

A healthy intestinal track equals overall health and contributes to your body’s ability to fight off sickness, resist food sensitivities and environmental toxins. A juice diet will cleanse your system so it can do a better job of keeping things moving. When you replace one or two meals per day with a healthy juice, packed with vitamins, you give your digestive track a break while replenishing your body with all the nutrients it needs to naturally detox. With less work to do, your liver functions improve and you begin to feel results all over.

Surprisingly, you may find that you feel more energized after a juice meal in spite of the fact that you have eaten less. After the initial adjustment to juicing, most people feel a surge of energy. While cutting calories and losing weight is a great side affect, the best reward you are giving your body is removing the poor food choices and replacing them with the healthy nutrients of the raw fruits and vegetables in the juice recipes. Many people report improved mind clarity, sleeping more soundly and awaking more refreshed and alert.

When you think of juicing, you may think it’s just a complicated way to make apple juice, or that it’s only helpful if the juice is green. Many of the most effective juice recipes are green, and most people grow to love them because of the positive effects that result from drinking green juices. And once you’ve had apple juice made fresh and raw from your juicer, you won’t want it any other way. However, there are recipes for juices that use just about every fruit and vegetable on the planet, and it’s easy to find ones that will suit your tastes. When juicing is done as part of a diet and incorporates eliminating less than healthy food choices, your body actually begins to crave the healthy flavors of vegetable juices, making it a great opportunity to try new vegetables and fruits.
