foods. Their high water content fl ushes the digestive

solvents. Lemon is the strongest, followed by lime,
pineapple and grapefruit. All have a purging effect

. When we jrrice, we are able to extract almost roo% of
the nutrients trapped in the fibers. Properly
extracted,the green juices areloaded with live
enz'rynes, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium
and sodium. There are also pro-vitamin A' vitamin
B-complex and vitamins C' E and K'
. For example, you will be surprisedthat when you
jrrice roog of fresh spinach and 5og of fresh parsley
(total of 15og), the grcen juice would yield much
more iron than 3oog of beef and more calcium than

. The reasons for vegetable juicing and fnrit
juicing are the sarne, but vegetables have
something much more important that fruits
do not have-chlorophyll'
. Chlorophyll is a green photosynthetic
pigment found in abundance in leaves of
plants (vegetables).It absorbs sunlight anil
changes it into chemical enerry for the
plant.

 Getting all the nutrientsyou need But Why Juice?

. While chlorophyll is found in all green vegetables,
some of the richest sources of chlorophyll are from
aHalfa, barley grass, chlorella, spirulina and
wheatgrass. But these may not be easily available.
. But with all the fruits and vegetables combined, the
one elementthat is sorelylacking is vitamin Brz. A
strict vegetarian diet may cause vitamin Brz
deficiency because this vitamin is largely found in
animal products.
r. Juicing helps you absorb all the nutrients
foom the vegetables.
Most of us have compromised intestines as a result
of less than optimal food choices over manyyears.
This limits your body's abilityto absorb all the
nutrients from the vegetables. Juicing will help to
"pre-digest" them for you so you will receive most
of the nutrition ratherthan having it go down the
toilet.

4. Easy digestion and dSsimilation
Solid foods require many hours gf-digestion
before any nutrient is made available to the
cells. Juices are assimilated within rS
minutes of consumption, with very little
effort on the part of the digestive system.
Because it is in liquid form, the enzymes
are not wasted to fuel its own digestion. As
a result, the body ean quickly distribute the
much needed en ymes to other parts of the
body to heal, build, restore and repair.

e. Juices are cleansing
Onlywith sufficient amount of
nutrients in the fruits through juicing,
can the juices be cleansing to the blood.
Blood is life. By keeping our blood
clean and loaded with nutrients, we can
expect to live better and longer
