Is juicing beneficial enough to warrent daily practice? Or is it overrated? > Is juicing beneficial enough to warrent daily practice? Or is it overrated? Worthless in my opinion. When you extract the juice, you are losing out on all the fiber. You're better off eating the whole fruit or veggies. > > Is juicing beneficial enough to warrent daily practice?

You're better off eating the whole fruit or veggies. most of the nutrients are in the juice... and you can drink the equivalent of 10 lbs of vegi's if juiced... you cant eat that much in a day. but yes you do need the fiber... but a few carrots, and salads will provide sufficient. Phil Scott " most of the nutrients are in the juice... and you can drink the equivalent of 10 lbs of vegi's if juiced... you cant eat that much in a day. but yes you do need the fiber... but a few carrots, and salads will provide sufficient." Because veggies are mostly water this doesn't make sense. To pick a number if 1/2 is water then 5 lbs are involved. Also is the question of concentrating sugars for someone like yourself with metabolic syndrom. "Juicing" is a fad to sell machines and books and should be seen as such. markd@toad-net.com wrote or quoted: > " most of the nutrients are in the juice... and you can drink > the equivalent of 10 lbs of vegi's if juiced... you cant eat > that much in a day. but yes you do need the fiber... but a > few carrots, and salads will provide sufficient." > > Because veggies are mostly water this doesn't make sense.

Juice greens, then - such as wheatgrass. Most greens have a relatively low carb content - and concentrating it is not a big deal. > "Juicing" is a fad to sell machines and books and should be seen as such. That seems inaccurate.

There is some evidence of the benefits of juicing. http://tinyurl.com/6hejz Jan >> " most of the nutrients are in the juice... and you can drink >> the equivalent of 10 lbs of vegi's if juiced... you cant eat [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >There is some evidence of the benefits of juicing. >http://tinyurl.com/6hejz Curious to know if it is just a quantity-consumed effect. One pound of carrots juiced will allow the absorption of more of its constituents than one pound of whole carrots. (depends how well chewed they are too) And it is apparently easier to cram more carrot juice into you than raw carrots. And then I suppose limp, partially dehydrated carrots would provide a more concentrated juice, but would be less pleasant to eat. > Is juicing beneficial enough to warrent daily practice? Or is it overrated? If you are healthy and you do raw vegitable juices you will notice only a modest incease in energy and vitality.. if you are in deep trouble, ill.. and you buy a book on how to do raw juice therapy you will notice huge improvments fast... within the first two days... and even much better if you fast on the raw juice for several days a week. The older you are the more it will help...the enzymes in raw juice work wonders as those decline about 80% in most people by the time they reach age 65 or so. Phil Scott |
