The benefits of green juice cleansing are so evident in our practice that we strongly recommend to add it as part of your daily regimen.
Why is green juice good for you?
- A few servings of organic green juice is a readily assimilated, easily digestible, unbelievably nutritious superfood, filled with more veggie goodness than you could possibly eat.
- Drinking green juice fills your body with living enzymes, vitamins, oxygen, and phytonutrients. Because of this, green juice feeds your cells the necessary nutrients, allowing your cells to uncover the body’s innate healing power, thereby boosting your body’s ability to fight infection and heal chronic diseases.
- Since your body doesn’t have to break down the vegetables in order to absorb the nutrition, it allows the body to focus on repair, healing, detoxification, and renewal. And as long as you use organic produce, the nutrition you introduce into your body via green juice has very few, if any, of the chemicals and toxins we Americans usually put into our bodies.
- You Green Juice adds enzymes to you body, and your body’s aging process is indicative of how many enzymes are in your body. By adding green juice to your diet, you may even add years to your life.
- Green juice helps your body return itself to a state of healthy alkalinity. The pH of human blood has a very narrow window of safety, from about 7.35 to 7.45, as measured by an arterial blood gas. If it gets much above or below those levels, you are probably in the hospital- sick. Many foods in the typical American diet (like a grande caramel macchiato with an extra shot, a double bacon cheeseburger, and pasta with cheese sauce) are acidic (the opposite of alkaline) foods, meaning that the body has to work hard to neutralize the affects of these foods on your blood. If the body is overworking to keep your blood pH stable, it has less energy to fight assaults like cancer, chronic disease, and other infections.
Suffice it to say… green juice is good for you.
How do you make this Greensome superfood?? I make my own with a VitaMixer using
- 1-2 handfuls of either kale, swiss chard, sunflower sprouts, celery, parsley
- 1/2 lemon, squeezed
- grated ginger optional…and great for digestion
- half an apple, chopped
- dash of sea salt
- 1 tsp to Tbsp of lemon flavored fish oil or cod liver oil (optional…but these fats help improve absorption of all minerals into your bones)
- 2 cups of filtered water
Blend well in vitamixer…or if you have your own juicer, use that. If you don’t have a juicer already, it might be worth purchasing one, especially if you’re going to keep up this healthy lifestyle. Juicers can be small investments, so be sure to purchase a reliable juicer that is recommended by other people. To ensure a juicer is good, visiting a website like Juice Buff could be a good idea. By reading reviews, you’re likely to find a juicer that has been tried and tested by other people. However you choose to blend your ingredients together, make sure you add everything but the water and oil. Decide if you want to further dilute green juice with water to stretch out the goodness.
