Why should you juice regularly, you may ask. Now some of you might think it’s a waste of time and energy but it isn’t if you look at all the benefits it can bring you if you juice once a day. It’s a superb way to get your greens in the juice form if you hate eating them, and you can create your own variations and twists to each juice concoction! I will be covering the why and listing the many benefits in store for you if you begin your juicing journey to help you make that all-important decision – to juice or not the juice.
What Are the Benefits of a Juice Diet?
Well, first of all, it is extremely healthy and good for you. You may not think it is critical, but it is. Keeping healthy is essential for your body’s lifelong function as I’m sure you already know. It is also excellent for you in the long run. When you get older and you take the effort to keep your body in the pink of health, you will experience many amazing benefits that everyone would want.
Some Tasty Benefits
For those who hate eating greens, juicing is one way to get you started on a healthier lifestyle comfortably. Juicing can help you reach your desired or recommended intake of fruits and vegetable each day in just a glass or two. Plus you can add different fruits and veggies to change the flavor a bit to suit your liking.
Some of the best veggies to include daily are carrots, kale, beets, celery, and spinach.
Also in juicing, you can add different fruits and vegetables in it so you can have a variety and have different vitamins and minerals to nourish your body.
If you juice a lot, you will also prevent yourself from getting sick and will be able to fight off illness and different kinds of diseases like for example, cancer! Just note that they don’t prevent, they just reduce your chances of getting sick as your body and immune system are strengthened!
Promotes weight loss! If you intend to lose weight, then drinking juice can help with that! Even in studies, they say that people who drink juice tend to lose weight over some time.
If your body contains the essential nutrients required, your body will also function more efficiently! You will have more energy, and you don’t have to drink things like coffee to energize you as juice is natural. You will also think much clearer. As a result, you feel more positive and good about yourself!
Being healthy will also increase your life span because of how healthy and strong your body is, and it’s ability to fight sicknesses.
You would look much younger, and your skin would glow! When the inner body is healthy, your outer body will look and feel great! Your skin will naturally shine as a testament to your good health!
Tips For A Better Juicing Experience
Drink your juice immediately after you finish making your juicing as it is fresher and over time, your juice will not be as fresh and bacteria proliferates after a while which is not good for you.
Add a variety of different fruits or vegetables to have a different taste and will also contain many more different vitamins and minerals which are all essential in keeping you healthy. You can also add different things to spice it up like lime or ginger or maybe some herbs!
Opt for a slow juicer to get the most out of your daily juice diet. A slow juicer is one that slowly crushes the fruits and squeezes out the juice. The result is a higher quantity and quality of juice. Note that if you go with a centrifugal machine, it may be very fast and doubles for food processing needs, but it generates lots of heat which “cooks” the juice. Thus, you may end up losing many of the vital nutrients in raw whole foods with a centrifugal juicer. A slow juicer I highly recommend for if you don’t have one is the top-ranked Omega slow juicer, one which I reviewed earlier. It is a very well known juicer and has many positive reviews, or if you can afford it, and want to splurge on a juicing beast – the mighty Super Angel!
Start off your day with some juice, or green juice I must say. Doing so is excellent for you in the morning because you may be fatigued even after a night’s rest. Instead of starting the day with drinks like a cappuccino or coffee, juice is natural and already contains energy punch you need that will last the day. Plus, it floods your body with nutrients to cleanly kick start your day.
So after reading all that I hope you would take into consideration that juicing is one daily habit that you really should take up! You can also have fun mixing and matching different fruits and vegetables in different proportions to see how they taste. You can also look at some of my recipes to get some ideas as well as give you a head start on some delicious, healthy juice!

It sounds like I really need a juicer. I’m one of those people who hate eating greens, so making those taste better is a huge benefit. If a juicer can really make spinach taste good, I’ll buy one as soon as I can!

Green juice doesn NOT taste good. But, you down it, all 16-20 ounces. You will be consuming so many greens in that serving that you’ll start to accept the taste. Be careful about adding more than one or two pieces of fruit because the sugar may make your juice taste a little better – not much, but it will essentially cancel out some of the benefits of juicing.
