Better Raw Food Health Through Juicing
Do you like to take care of your health? Do you listen to nutrition advice and actually implement it? Are you looking for better ways to integrate fresh, organic and local raw fruits and vegetables into your diet? Me, too! And I wonder if you can relate to the following about my own experiences.
Although I haven't ever had any major health problems, I believe that diet and exercise play a critical role in helping us maintain our well being and increase our longevity. In truth, I started working out in 6th grade, after my father thought it would be good for us all to get in better shape.
I have always enjoyed sports and been active, kept my weight at appropriate levels, and have always gotten a good health record from the doctor annually. Everything seemed fine.
But I have just been reading a book called "The China Study" which is actually making me rethink the "diet" portion of the "good health" equation and ponder whether I am on the right path to ideal health.
According to "The China Study," which is a wonderful, comprehensible, research-based book citing over seven hundred systematic studies, there is ample evidence to support the hypothesis that animal protein, including eggs, milk and meat, isn't the solution to good health and muscle-growth that we have all been led to believe. I was fully stunned to find out that skim milk is not a super-food when it comes to strong bones, teeth and muscles. In fact, the author points out that in the face of all his own research studies (and much to his dissatisfaction since he grew up on a dairy farm) he has switched to a vegan diet. He now believes a diet free from animal protein is actually perfect for boosting our health and reducing the symptoms of aging.
The China Study book endorses a vegan diet based on unprocessed plant-based foods. You can't be a "junk food vegan" filling up on oil and white flour and other processed foods. Plant based foods means things you can recognize, like fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
Many advocates to this philosophy take this approach a step further and focus on eating raw plant foods, forgoing foods like rice, barley, pasta, etc. These raw food advocates believe that we preserve and ingest the most nutrition in our foods when we don't prepare them by cooking them.
One of the toughest issues to preparing and eating a lot of plants is that it can just plain take a long time. Cutting, washing, and so on. Is a lengthy process. Especially once you start to look at incorporating vegetables like lettuce, spinach, kale, and celery - greens that are important to our growth.
That is where a robust juicer can solve your issues. Making juice out of your fruits, veggies and greens with the Breville Juice Fountain Elite is a good way to mix your fruits and vegetables into a fresh, tasty and mouth-watering drink that might guarantee you get all the nourishment you would like, even if you don't have time to sit down to "a healthy breakfast" of bacon and eggs.
Consider recipes like carrot-apple-ginger juice or blueberry, strawberry, grape and kale juice. Green smoothies made with bananas and spinach are a fave raw-food vegan classic - the fruit is cheap, the taste is great and it's vitamin-packed!
If you have a regular blender (for making margaritas!), or perhaps a name-brand juicer like Jack LaLanne's from TV, you can find that they do not hold up to regular juicing, they're tough juicing, they are tough to use because they are under powered, or they just don't clean-up well.
The Breville Juice Fountain Elite solves all these issues. It is German-engineered to be a top-of the line juicer for people who make juice each day and need a quick-and-simple way to make their juice. In fact, you can produce an 8-oz cup of juice in under five seconds and as the juicer takes Huge pieces of apple, carrot and other hard fruits - you do not have to do much slicing. THe juicer even does a pleasant job with leafy or stringy products like lettuce and celery. Including veggies like this in your juice will actually increase their nutritional value.
If you are prepared to make some changes in your diet to become healthier, more energetic, and perhaps increase your longevity - commence with including more fruits and veg. Like the Omnivore's Dilemma advocates - Eat Food. Not Too Much. Mostly Plants.
