Health through juices

Our modern world overflows with food. Food is part of our everyday life, our leisure, our social life. But this modern world confuses the relationship that exists between between what we eat and our health.

The human body has an incredible ability to heal and regenerate itself, even greater and more efficient than all medicines. But for this, it is necessary to give it the opportunity to "take a vacation," to reclaim its powers.

The juice diet is one effective way to offer our body this rest. The juices of fruits and vegetables contain infinite quantities of nutritive elements that give us energy, beauty and marvelous health. In addition, they help to digest food more easily.

Drinking juice or eating cut and whole fruits or vegetables - which is better? The answer is that in each case the effect is different. Eating fruits and vegetables gives us, in addition to the usual vitamins, a good source of fibers essential to the proper functioning of the body. But by drinking juice, especially if you are tired in the morning, at breakfast, one receives in very little time (about thirty minutes) the nutritive elements that put us in a good mood and reinvigorate us. On the other hand, when one eats them, the process takes longer, perhaps several hours. The effect is not so immediate. It is therefore strongly suggested that older people and those who expend a lot of energy in their work to frequently drink freshly pressed juice.

It is said that drinking carrot juice allows greater absorption of beta carotene, an effective agent against cancer, it fights against cold and flu in winter, and skin maladies. According to certain beliefs, pineapple aids in digestion, apples and oranges constitute important sources of vitamins while green vegetables help to combat anemia.

One can make juice with the help of a centrifuge [juice machine] and the combinations are limitless. Put an apple, a pear, an orange and a lime in the juice machine and we can see such a marvelous drink we can take (?) And we mustn't forget tomatoes, carrots, green and red peppers, exotic fruits, different sorts of soft, sweet melons and the strawberries one finds shopping in the summer. The most ordinary ingredients can sometimes yield marvelous results.
