Wow – can you believe it is already 2016?  Just saying that out loud is a real wake-up call.  Where did last year go?  If you are anything like me, New Year’s day is a welcome relief (another day off maybe?) and a time to reflect and catch your breath from the busy holiday season and look ahead to what the new year may bring.

Juicing for energy, detox, and renewal

Are you ready to feel more energy and detox naturally in 2016?  If so, then I’d like to welcome you to the amazing world of juicing and cleansing.  If you are an advanced juicer or beginner, you might already know that juicing is one of the best ways to supplement your diet with whole-food nutrients that give you clean energy, help your body detox and get you on the right track.

The benefits of juicing are endless. Juicing gives you energy and encourages detox because:

  • It’s an easy way to get a very large quantity of vitamins, minerals, and raw enzymes packed in one cup. Eating a comparable quantity is almost impossible and not as easy.
  • These vitamins, minerals, and raw enzymes flood into your bloodstream and are easily absorbed and high powered, instant nutrition.
  • Our digestive system carries a heavy burden with the foods we eat and the stress we encounter on a daily basis. A juice-a-day or a juice cleanse allows the digestive system a vacation.
  • If you have hampered digestion, such as IBS, leaky gut, candida, or Crohn’s disease, then juicing is ideal because there is no fiber, making it the perfect liquid meal.
  • Juicing is an ultra-efficient way to consume a rainbow of vegetables in one simple shot. It allows you to consume an abundance of different of vegetables and fruits without the fiber that can sometimes weigh you down.

healthy benefits from juicingWhen you juice, the nutrients from the fruits and vegetables hit your bloodstream and allow your body to use them effectively to heal any issues you may have within your body that may be causing problems that show outwardly in many forms, including skin conditions.  If you want good skin (including extra anti-oxidants to help keep you looking young), having a good diet and a wide range of good clean nutrients is one of the first steps you need to take- and juicing is one of the easiest ways to achieve it.
