Juicing fresh vegetables and fruits are the richest, most valuablesources of vitamins, minerals and enzymes. Because you need extranutrients to help rid your body of everyday environmental toxins,juicing offers an important alternative that will nourish your bodyproperly.Juicing helps your body assimilate many valuable nutrients foundin food. When food is cooked, the enzymes are destroyed by the heat.Most of the nutritional value is lost. Half your daily intake offood should be consumed raw.The late Bircher-Benner, who founded the Bircher-Benner clinic inEngland, said that "nothing more therapeutic exists on earth thangreen juices." Nothing is more powerful for healing as fresh rawjuices. Carrots, celery, spinach, cabbage, beets and apples are someof the most powerful juices for healing. Carrots have been used inthe treatment of all forms of cancer. It is rich in beta carotene,which is converted to vitamin A in the body. Carrots have tremendousantioxidants, are good for diarrhea, arthritis, constipation andcolitis. Celery is an excellent source of magnesium and otherimportant vitamins.
