Its is often hard for us to get our daily intake of fruits and vegetables due to poor time management and lifestyle choices. This is the main reason why so many diets seem to be deficient. You can get most of the natural goodness and nutrition out of the wholesome foods you should be eating condensed into a easy to consume and digest glass of fresh juice. There are so many benefits to juicing fresh fruits and vegetables but here is the top 5 benefits.
Mental Reset
Completing an elimination diet or cleanse of any sort for a short period of time is a great way to give yourself a mental reset with your diet. External influences like holidays, special occasions or stress caused by work or world events can cause us to stray away from a diet that nourishes our body. When we have been eating a less than optimal diet, it can be incredibly helpful to take a step back and start with a clean slate. With a simple roadmap for change, and the encouragement of renewed discipline, juicing allows your mind to refocus by eliminating the clutter of dietary decisions and reducing the cravings for unhealthy foods.
Improve Cellular Health
You may have heard that fruits and vegetables are high in antioxidants, but what are antioxidants? Antioxidants are free-radical scavengers. Free-radicals can contribute to inflammatory diseases within the body. We get exposed to free-radicals by natural means through normal bodily processes such as digestion, sun exposure etc. We also are exposed to them through unnatural means in the form of environmental toxic exposures. Antioxidants work by donating an electron to free-radicals to make them less reactive or promote their decomposition. Juices are high in various antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, as well as phytonutrients such as beta-carotene, lycopene, lutein, and zeaxanthin.
Rest The Digestive System
If you find that you are experiencing frequent gastrointestinal symptoms such as bloating, gas, or constipation, doing a juice cleanse can be the perfect way to give your GI system a break from digestion. The process of digestion is a pretty extensive one. In fact, at least 10% of your daily energy output is devoted solely to the process of digestion. By doing a juice cleanse, it allows your body to redirect the energy that was being used for digestion elsewhere within the body. This energy can be put towards the optimization of healing in other parts of the body.
Modify Your Microbiome To Support Weight Loss
Did you know that bacteria in our body outnumbers our own cells 10 to 1? Given this, it should make sense that modifications to our microbiome can have a significant impact on how our body works and functions. Juice cleanses have been found to modify the gut microbiome in a way that is supportive towards weight loss. Juice cleanses are extremely alkalising for the body giving you the best chance to fight off any diseases and reduces inflammation within the body.
Optimize Your Diet
One of the major indirect benefits of doing a juice cleanse is being able to discover exactly what foods work best for your body based on your personal needs. By reducing the list of foods you are consuming to just vegetables and fruits, you remove a variety of foods that can commonly create inflammation within the body. For many people, foods that contain gluten and dairy can create significant symptoms that negatively impact their health. After completing a juice cleanse, you can slowly reintroduce foods back into your diet to discover what foods work specifically for you. In addition, many of us are not naturally consuming a diet full of vegetables and fruits to ensure the nutrients that we need to optimally function. Juicing makes that easy by concentrating more vegetables and fruits into your day in a more efficient way.
