Do you juice bro? No not that type of juice, we're talking juicing fresh fruits and vegetables today! Juicing is the process of extracting juice from fresh fruits and vegetables. Juicing offers multiple health benefits for those who drink freshly made juices. One amazing benefit juicing offers is it helps increase the amount of daily fresh fruit and vegetable consumption. 90% of adult Americans aren't eating adequate amounts of fruits and vegetables. Juicing is an easy way to vary the fruits and vegetables being consumed & explore new fruits or vegetables you may not have been interested in trying raw.

Another benefit to juicing is it provides a large amount of antioxidants to the body. These antioxidants play an important role in keeping us healthy and free of disease. When you drink a fresh juice, you are providing your body with the tools to destroy free radicals from running wild and damaging your cells, which leads to inflammation and disease. Antioxidants stabilize free radicals instantly stopping their ability to damage the cells in the body.

Some Caution about the Drawbacks Associated with Juicing without Complimentary Foods

It isn't all fun in the sun with juicing though, there are also some cons that come with juicing. When you juice fresh fruits and vegetables you remove the majority of the fiber content of the food. This can lead to spikes in blood sugar, because fiber is used to slow the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream. This spike of blood sugar can be an issue for diabetics who need to watch their blood sugar levels.
