Juice, Fresh Pressed Juice

6/26/2012

 
Today's inspiration comes to you in picture form.  Freshly juiced vegetable and fruit juices deliver nutrients directly to your blood at a similar absorption rate as alcohol. Without needing to be broken down, these nutrients pass the digestion phase which leaves energy for your body to focus on other tasks at hand such as detoxifying and continuing the digestion of other foods. Fresh pressed juices like the ones below are very different than store-bought juices. Your grocery store juices have been pasteurized (heated to kill bacteria) leaving very little nutrition other than some vitamin fortification. They have nearly as much sugar as a soda and the flavours are chemically enhanced with 'flavour packs'. Have you ever wondered how one brand maintains a consistent flavour and colour every single time? 

In fresh juices we have the whole food minus the fiber. Our cells are craving large amounts of nutrients from heads of lettuce, bunches of kale, apples and carrots and lemons, red cabbage and cucumbers and beets. In our modern world, many of us are eating more than ever while at the same time chronically malnourished from a lack of vitamins, minerals, fiber and healthy fats. Add just one juice to your day for a week and watch yourself transform.
