“There is no doubt in my mind that raw juice can save your life. I have seen it work miracles in some of my patients who were stuck on the merry-goround of drug therapy. The juice from raw fruits and vegetables has powerful healing and rejuvenating properties that can help people with all sorts of health problems” Dr Sandra Cabot – Author of “Raw Juices Can Save Your Life!”
Juicing is the easiest and most efficient method for extracting the high levels of nutrients stored within the individual cells of fruits and vegetables. Fresh juices take a fraction of the energy needed to digest solid foods. Research tells us that fresh juices are extremely high in enzymes.
When fruits or vegetables are juiced, their enzymes are released and immediately go to work when they are consumed. This aids the body in its constant work of dissolving and eliminating wastes as well as speeding delivery of the vital nutrients contained in the juice.
When the body receives a plentiful supply of enzymes, its internal enzyme supplies are preserved for the important work of maintaining metabolic harmony. As a result many body systems are strengthened. Used as nutritional support during periods of stress and illness, juice therapy can also be used as part of a comprehensive health maintenance plan.
Juices in their raw and unprocessed form are a natural concentrated source of energy.
As cooked foods are lower in nutrients, individual cells don’t receive enough of the nutrients they need. Nutrients like vitamins, minerals and amino acids are depleted, destroyed and altered by cooking or frictional heat through high speed juicing.
The natural ageing process is accelerated by cooked food; people who switch to raw food often become biologically and visibly younger. By separating the mineral elements and the distilled water in the food from the fibre in the raw fruit and vegetable, the liquid food is digestible in a matter of minutes.
The human body’s digestive process to separate minerals from the fibre takes hours and much energy by the digestive organs, one would need to do copious amounts of chewing to give quality live juice liquid.
It is important to use a good quality juice extractor, one that does not use high speed or sharp chopping blades, juicing by the crushing and squeezing method, opens the cell membrane and releases more nutrients.
