THE EVERYTHING JUICING BOOK

Dear Reader,

More and more research supports the theory that juicing boosts health, increases longevity, and prevents and treats hundreds of conditions and diseases ranging from acne and arthritis to allergies and cancer.

Unfortunately, despite the best of intentions, most of us find it difficult to consume enough fruits and vegetables every day for overall good health.

Juicing is an easy, convenient, delicious, and nutritious way to consume a high level of essential vitamins, minerals, and disease-fighting antioxidants and phytochemicals, delivering nutrients to the body in a form that is immediately absorbed and assimilated. Cooking and processing destroys natural nutrients in foods, but juicing helps preserve those nutrients.

Whether youre already an avid juicer or are just trying it for the first time, The EverythingJuicing Book offers a step-by-step guide to making nutritious juices, whether you want to increase your energy or treat a serious condition. The 150 delectable juice recipes in this book were created by coauthor Patrice Johnson, a Cordon Bleu-trained chef. Each one is guaranteed to delight even the most discriminating taste buds.

Top Ten Reasons to Juice

Juicing can help you get your nine recommended daily servings of fruits and vegetables.

Juicing is good for digestive health. It aids digestion and can ease conditions such as acid reflux and ulcers.

Juicing can help alleviate allergies and respiratory disorders.

Juicing can boost your immune system and help your body resist and fight infections.

Juicing can help reduce high blood pressure and high levels of bad cholesterol.

The fruits and vegetables you use in juicing are very high in antioxidants, which are revered for their anti-aging properties. But antioxidants also improve circulation, contribute to cardiovascular health, enhance brain function, and reduce the negative effects of stress.

Juice is high in beneficial vitamins and minerals. It can also help you get enough fiber, protein, and unsaturated fats.

Commercial juices often contain added sugars and preservatives. By juicing your own fruits and vegetables, you can tailor your juices to your tastes and needs.

Juicing is a low-calorie way to boost your energy level so you can enjoy life more.

Juice is simple to make and it tastes delicious!

Introduction

EAT YOUR VEGETABLES! IS a familiar battle cry around dinner tables but Mom hasnt been the only one insisting we eat our peas (carrots, turnips). Since 1990, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has recommended we consume at least two servings of fruits and three servings of vegetables daily, while the United States Cancer Institute suggests we eat five servings of fresh vegetables and three servings of fruit every day which they have dubbed the daily eight. Despite those repeated urgings, studies show that most Americans still fall short of the mark, increasing their risk of developing a variety of chronic conditions and serious diseases.
