Raw Juices Could Save Your Life
"There is no
doubt in my mind that raw juicing can save your life. I have seen
it work miracles in some of my patients who were stuck on the
merry-go-round of drug therapy. I am a medical doctor using
nutritional medicine who first likes to do no harm to her
patients. The juice from raw fruits and vegetables has powerful
healing and rejuvenating properties that can help people with all
sorts of health problems.
Juices are easily digested and absorbed and are superb for those
with a poor appetite, nausea, digestive problems or an inflamed
stomach or intestines. It is easier to drink a juice than chew
your way through large amounts of fibrous raw vegetables,
especially if you are feeling fatigued or disinterested in food.
Modern day
medicine is focused on treating the symptoms of disease with
suppressive drugs. Sometimes this is necessary when a disease is
very aggressive and acute in onset, however raw juice therapy is
something that should always be used, even in conjunction with
drug use. I have seen many of my patients recover form chronic
disease after they started juicing, and this has been after they
have tried many other things. People of all ages can benefit from
juicing, especially the very young and old, or those with serious
disease such as cancer, immune dysfunction and liver problems.
Juices are a
perfect medium in which to mix and dissolve nutritional powders,
and will enhance their healing powers. The nutrients and herbs in
powders are better absorbed than tablet forms of the same
ingredients, and mixing them in juices enhances their solubility,
digestion, and absorption. The juices bring the healing nutrients
to the cells in the surface of the mucous membrane of the gut in
an easily absorbed form. This requires much less energy to
assimilate than solid tablets, especially in people with inflamed
mucous membranes in the intestines.
Juices can
reduce harmful acidity and toxicity in the body
Many people consume a diet high in processed foods, along with
tea, coffee and alcohol. This causes a build up of acids and
metabolic waste products in the body, which can result in more
inflammation. This acidic state of the body can be neutralized by
drinking raw juices. Celery, cucumber and cabbage juice are
excellent to reduce acidity. This is an effective way to balance
the pH levels (acid-base) balance in the body which will
dramatically increase energy and well-being
Raw juices are able to stimulate the function of the bowels, liver
and kidneys, which increases the breakdown and elimination of
toxic chemicals and waste products from the body. The raw juices
can increase the quality and flow of the bile. This is very
important in detoxification, because the liver pumps large amounts
of toxic poisons out of the body through the bile. In some people,
the billiard system is like a “sewer” in that it is laden with
unhealthy fats and toxins. Little wonder that millions of people
suffer with liver and gall bladder diseases and stones. If only
they knew about the power of raw juicing and “The Liver Cleansing
Diet”, they would be able to keep their gall bladder, and enjoy a
healthier life.There are so many sick people on this planet
searching for lasting solutions to their health problems.
Furthermore, some of the drugs used to treat common ailments, can
themselves cause diseases, and we call this medical drug-induced
disease “iatrogenic disease”. For example, non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs can damage the stomach, kidneys and the
liver if they are taken on a long-term basis. The cholesterol
lowering drugs known as “statins” can cause severe muscle
diseases. Some of the drugs used to lower blood sugar levels can
cause liver disease.Long-term antibiotics can cause severe liver
damage, which can lead to immune dysfunction resulting in
allergies and autoimmune diseases. Steroids like cortisone may
lead to weight gain, high blood pressure, diabetes and
osteoporosis. Also, these drugs become increasingly ineffective
over long periods of time. The incidence of obesity and type 2
diabetes has tripled in the last 40 years because we are not in
tune with our body’s natural needs.
We often
tend to panic when we become sick and rush in to taking drugs or
having surgery. It is often better to sit down, relax and think
for a while, so we can look at more natural alternatives. Can we
change our diet and lifestyle, reduce stress, and take the time
needed to truly heal ourselves? Yes, we can afford some more time
for ourselves, and even if we need to take drugs, it is vitally
important to start a program of raw food juicing and nutritional
healing. This is so important but rarely given the credibility it
deserves.” Dr. Sandra Cabot
Why add fresh fruit and vegetable juice to our daily diet ?
The addition of fresh juices will immediately make our eating habits
healthier by adding larger amounts of beneficial raw food in a
delicious and more easily digestible form.
Raw uncooked fruit and vegetables contain vitamins, minerals and
enzymes.
Dietary experts now emphasize the importance of vitamins and
minerals for normal growth and tissue maintenance and efficient
absorption (enzymes)
Wake
up your body each morning with a cleansing juice
By separating the mineral elements and the distilled water from the
fibre in the raw fruit and vegetable, the liquid food is digestible
in a matter of minutes.
The digestive process (in the body) required to separate minerals
from the fibre, on the other hand, takes hours to be expended by the
digestive organs (and a lot of energy).
One would need to do copious amounts of chewing, to give
quality live juice liquid.
Compared to using a good grade juice extractor (one that
does not use high friction or ripping or tearing of the food, which
causes enzyme destruction). We are all aware these days that cooking
kills essential vitamins and enzymes in food.
Are you aware that fast high-speed juice extractors have the same
destroying effects, because high speed and friction = heat. Enzymes
are sensitive to temperatures above approx 40`c and after 48`c they
become sluggish. After 50`c the life of the enzyme is extinct, they
are dead.
What
is a live food and living juice?
Fresh juice is often referred to as "live food" because it contains
enzymes.
Enzymes are protein molecules that have been found to have enormous
health benefits.
They have the ability to stimulate biochemical reaction. Enzymes are
the body life force and are constantly breaking down substances and
rejoining substances to rebuild and repair.
Without enzymes all life would simply be a collection of lifeless
chemicals.
In other words, the element that enables the body to be nourished
and live, the element that is hidden within seeds and plants in the
sprouting and growth of plants, is a life principle known as
enzymes.
Heating enzymes and vitamins cause their destruction and minimalise
the vitality of you juice.

The benefits of juice
* Improves
life expectancy and health
* Contributes to the prevention of heart disease
* Helps with depression
* Helps relieve high blood pressure
* Helps detoxify the body therefore helps alleviate allergies
* Helps with degenerative and deficiency diseases
* Aids digestion
* It is believed that fresh juice may assist in reducing the
body's stress by helping to correct
acid/alkaline imbalances that are so common in our modern
world.
* The nutrient and enzymes found in fresh juices can immediately
go to work in the body to
strengthen the body's natural immune system to help prevent
disease.

Choose
a juicer that:
* does not destroy enzyme or vitamin content
* runs the motor at a low rpm to reduce heat
* does not rip or tear the food
* applies a slow constant pressure to the food |
Other options to
consider are:
* noise
* other functions of the juice extractor
* ease of cleaning
* user friendliness
