Fast Track Your Way Back To Health With The Power Of Fresh Juice

The food we eat plays a major key as to how our body performs and holds fat. The majority of food we eat is processed or cooked so much that all the living enzymes inside the food are dead I call this type of food ‘Empty Foods’. We human-beings are living organisms and we need living enzymes just for our body’s daily functioning. When we are young we have a reservoir of enzymes, this dries out over time when we don’t replenish it from the food we eat.  When we don’t get enough live enzymes from our diet our pancreas kicks into action and makes them for us. This, however, is not the main function of the pancreas, its main purpose is to produce insulin for the body. In performing this secondary function it becomes overworked and doesn’t perform as well as it should. After eating years of cooked food, the pancreas becomes overburdened and doesn’t do its functions properly. The body starts to break down and we start our downward spiral to obesity and disease. Living food repairs and restores the cells that are damaged and also builds new cells. In order to let the pancreas do its main function, you need to be getting these living enzymes from your food which can be found in fresh (uncooked) fruits and vegetables.

If the above sounds like you at all and you’re not really into eating a lot of salads and vegetables, then juicing may be a great option for you. Now, I’m not meaning the bottled or carton juices you can buy from the supermarket. Read the label you’ll see that they are full of sugar, preservatives and other substances that are hard to pronounce. These juices are also pasteurized which kills all the living enzymes.

Fresh juicing from a juice extractor machine is a super fast way of getting a concentrated hit of living enzymes. Once fruits and vegetables are juiced and directly consumed they are transformed into a powerfully healing super food in an easy-to-drink and delicious liquid form. You get all the essential vitamins, minerals, nutrients and live enzymes in an extremely powerful and healthy glass that is an absolute pleasure to drink. All the healing benefits of this great tasting beverage are quickly and easily absorbed into your body and require virtually no energy to digest.

These juice recipes are some of my personal favorites and I encourage you and your family to try them. Kids love fresh Juice too.
