You just can’t over emphasise the importance of including raw fruit and vegetables in your diet. One of the best ways of adding to your daily intake of fruit and vegetables is by using a juicer. Books such as Raw Juices Can Save Your Life, By Dr Sandra Cabot, detail the life-giving benefits of adding fresh juice to your daily food intake, through owning your own vegetable or fruit juicer.

Fresh juice is in fact a living food, because it contains enzymes. as well as vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, chlorphyll and so much more!  These enzymes are found in fruit and vegetables and are vital because they assist in many of the chemical processes in the body, particularly digestion. Enzymes are however easily destroyed, especially if they are heated to temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius. That means they can be harmed by cooking or even by using a fruit and vegetable juicer which extracts at too high a temperature. By ensuring the enzymes in your food are not destroyed or damaged, you are helping your body absorb the nutrients you need. This means that other parts of your body do not have to work so hard to provide you with your daily requirements. It’s much easier too for the body to absorb and digest juices.

Often, with our hectic lifestyles, there are times when we aren’t able to eat the recommended 5+ servings of fruit and vegetables a day. By having your own juicer you can add freshly squeezed juice to your diet and help towards ensuring a good supply of your daily nutrients and minerals.
