Juicing is most definitely trending right now, you can’t go onto Facebook without seeing a post about Juicing. So what’s it about and should I start?! 🤷🏻♀️
We know that Juicing has loads of health benefits - no doubt! We’ve seen from so many testimonials and studies that Juicing has turned many people’s lives around…even playing a vital role in reversing cancers.
Even though Juicing comes from natural sources and can be done easily at home, you do need to use some caution, as juice on its own (without the pulp) is actually a very high dose of vitamins, minerals and sugars. Without the fibre (from the pulp) your body is stuck trying to metabolise and process everything in one go, which it isn’t really physiologically programmed to do.
Don’t get me wrong, for some they can drink jugs of juice and they’re fine, but for most it’s best to start out small! May a ¼ cup of juice, or have a small amount and top the glass up with water to dilute it. I personally put some of the pulp back in my juice so I still ingest some fibre as well! 😋😋
Be sure to make your juice fresh every day, store in an airtight container in the fridge, and drink within 24h (as vitamins after this time will oxidise and lose effectiveness). Also, if you have any blood sugar concerns like diabetes, or issues with your metabolism, it’s not really worth having the sugar spikes…there are other ways to get healthy!
On Friday for our Friday Focus, I’ll be posting some of my favourite juice recipes for you to try over the weekend!
