Vegetable Juicing
By
vegetable juicing you can increase your consumption of antioxidants
and begin cleansing your body.
Vegetable juicing is about the healthiest
thing you can do with a juicer. Some of the worlds most antioxidant
packed foods are vegetables and grasses. By drinking their juice you
will be well on your way to cleansing your body and increasing your
health.
When you first start vegetable juicing, you probably will use the
recipes that came with your machine. A lot of these use carrots as a
base of sweetness. This is ok, except if you are aiming to eat more
alkaline. For those people, you will want to gradually reduce your
dependency on sweet vegetables. What you will probably find is that
after a few days your taste buds will start to come alive. You will
begin to taste flavors in the juice that you may not have ever noticed.
In fact, once this happens, you will really notice the overpowering
strength of processed sugar. In fact, it may lose its appeal, which is a
secondary goal for someone on a alkaline diet.
Once you get more experience at vegetable juicing, you are more likely
to want to try more exotic drinks that do not have the sweetness you
used to desire. One really good vegetable to add at this stage is jicama.
This potato looking vegetable is extremely fresh tasting, very juicing
and slightly sweet. Unlike a potato, it is excellent to eat raw, either
in a salad or by vegetable juicing.
Vegetable
juicing is very cleansing on your body.
The process of digesting takes a lot of
energy from the body. By drinking your vegetable instead, you get more
nutrition in a format that is very easy to digest. The results are more
energy for your body to begin cleansing and detoxifying itself. No
matter why you are interested in vegetable juicing, the best thing to do
is start slow. Gradually increase the amount you drink and wean yourself
off processed foods. The results on your body just
might amaze you.
