Should I Start Juicing? What are The Health Benefits?

We all know someone who eats healthy. Their plates usually contain a large amount of leafy green vegetables. This might be you. If so, keep up the good work. If you’ve been thinking about making some healthy dietary changes, but not quite ready to go all in or unsure where to start, consider juicing. It’s a simple start in the right direction. Maybe you read our “how to not gain weight during the holidays” or our “top at home fitness workouts” articles. So are you ready to take control of your fitness and nutrition? Great, let’s begin.

We think the best part is choosing what suits your taste buds. If kale is not your thing, leave it out (but seriously just hide it in the berries). If you like berries, you’ll want to load up within reason. The options are unlimited. But first, seek medical advice from a qualified doctor or dietician before making any changes to your diet. Even too many fruits can spike your insulin and cause detrimental changes.

Juicing For The Health Of It (And Taste)

If you can dream it, more than likely, you can juice it. If you’re no stranger to juicing, keep reading. We salute you because you’re treating your body well. And who doesn’t like hearing a little praise for making wise health choices? It’s almost as good as getting rewarded for shopping 🙂 If you’re wondering if you should give it a go, keep reading. Let’s take a look at some of the health benefits that come from drinking your fruits and veggies while done through juicing.

You’ve heard it said that fruits and vegetables are a necessary part of our daily dietary intake. There’s no denying, they contribute to our overall health. You may not normally reach for a handful of kale or grab celery stalks on your dash out the door, but you can enjoy their benefits just as much when juiced. Juicing is quite forgiving. There are no real mistakes. Since we all gain vitamins and nutrients from fruits and vegetables, you can juice to your satisfaction. The combinations are endless.

Juicing Allows You To Get Your Veggies And Not Taste Them

Juicing provides a more palatable way to get the vitamins and nutrients you may otherwise miss out on. Although kale may be well-recognized as the king of healthy greens, it doesn’t cause you to bow down before it’s holy grail.

However, if mixed with a fruit you like, it may cause you to take another look. Produce departments are filled with all kinds of fruits and vegetables that, when juiced, bring out the best in them. Face it, there are some fruits and vegetables that have never seen the inside of your shopping cart. You may never think to pick up papaya at the market or even look twice at a whole pineapple, but both are loaded with vitamin C.

When either is combined with a handful of kale and juiced, it becomes a good source of vitamins and nutrients for your body. Juicing affords a wide variety of fruit and vegetable choices that can provide more nutrients and vitamins.

Many vegetables and fruits can be easily juiced. For example, kale is filled with vitamins A and K that are essential to our vision and bone health. Others, like cucumbers, are high in antioxidants and help fight inflammation in the body. Juicing opens the door to new opportunities in the world of fruits and vegetables. The next time you are in the produce section, don’t be afraid to give that dragon fruit a ride home. You will be pleasantly surprised at how good it can make you feel.
