Juicing provides the USDA recommended amount of fruits and vegetables in one easy glass, with the maximum concentration of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and phyonutrients.
When juicing, it is important to remember a few key things:
Start with a juicer that can handle both vegetables and fruits and possibly wheat grass.
Keep your juicer in a convenient spot where you’re likely to use it often.
Shop for fresh ORGANIC produce often and prep (wash and chop) it when you bring it home. That way its ready to go when you’re ready to juice.
If you need to store extra juice for tomorrow, do so in an airtight container in a refrigerator. Light, heat and expose to air will break down the nutrients so drink your juice quickly, within a day of juicing it.
