Raw Juices Can Save Your Life, Not Alone .....

[Guest guest]

Evening Myra,

You have to turn in all directions.

 

The concept of juicing has been around many years. The idea is that it

allows one to ingest nutrients in a quantity that they would not be able to

get otherwise.

 

For example, you can juice a bunch of carrots in a minute or two, drink

the juice and you have most of the nutrients, less the fiber.

 

If you had the time, made the effort, and did in fact eat the same food,

had a perfect digestion system, and a few other if's, the eating of the

complete food would be better.

 

Most people cannot imagine how much time and effort is required to eat

raw food all day long.

The concept of eating lots of raw food assumes healthy

individuals. Anyone with a compromised digestion system or even minor

ailments, will not be able to process the food efficiently.

 

Just how many raw turnips can you eat without a digestion problem. I

eat lots of raw peanuts when I can get them. The same is true with

pecans. I often make a meal of nothing but nuts and seeds.

 

One had to be aware of food combining and what will combine, and what

won't. Another factor is the time interval between specific

foods. Learning both of these factors are necessary for continuous eating

of raw foods, or even cooked foods for that matter.

 

A few people have studied all this, rationalized it to the point of

eating one food at a time.

Or.... selected foods of the same type.

 

>Truthfully I get very confused about conflicting information about juicing.

>One one hand I hear how good it is for you --

 

If you have the juicer, and the fruit or vegetables, then use

it. Surely you don't think it is one or the other?

You can do both.

 

>> especially since I need to eat slower digesting, higher fiber foods,

>> being hypoglycemic.

 

Seems you would need to be more selective of the fruit and vegetables

used, than a person with no such problem. In addition, You may need

smaller quantities of these food, both juice and whole items, than other

people would.

 

Most carbs are going to move out of the stomach faster than fats or

proteins.

Try eating high fat seeds and nuts such as sunflower seeds, walnuts,

almonds, and pumpkin seeds.

 

If you have nutritional problems whereas you need quarts or gallons of

juice per day, considering some supplements, enzymes, and amino acids might

be in order.

 

Eating small quantities of seeds and nuts every hour or so might work

for you.
