Did you know that 95% of the vitamins and enzymes that our body needs are in the juice of raw fruits and vegetables? We would need to eat 2 pounds of carrots, 10-12 apples or 8 pounds of spinach to get the same amount of nutrients you get in 16 oz. of juice.

When you drink juice, vitamins, minerals and highly concentrated enzymes quickly enter the bloodstream, absorbing all the nutritional benefits of fruits and vegetables and giving the digestive organs much needed rest.

There is lots of research that shows the healing properties of juicing.

Juices will not only facilitate weight loss, increased energy levels, enhanced immunity, strong bones and a radiant complexion, but may also reduce the chances of heart disease, cancer and stroke, three of the main Causes of death.

 

Fruits and vegetables have a high value in vitamins and nutrients that strength our body against diseases and allow us a faster recovery, raising our defenses against germs and virus that are in the environment.

To combat arthritis prepare a juice with: celery, pineapple, lemon, carrot.

To help you deal with your high blood pressure: beetroot, apple, celery, cucumber, ginger.


 

We believe that it is better to drink the juices the same day they are prepared. As soon as a juice meets the air, it begins to rust, compromising its nutritional value. However, storing our entire juices in the refrigerator in a tightly closed glass container slows down this process.

The best time to drink juice is on an empty stomach or at least one hour before eating. This maximizes the amount of nutrients absorbed in the body. Of course, freshly squeezed juice still contains many health benefits.
