Leslian turned around in her pretty red dress and continued to speak with her friend Kimberly “Apart from eating many of the wonderful vegetables and fruits that inhabit our planet, drinking them is equally nourishing and satisfying. Juicing vegetables and fruits can also create a dynamic taste treat, causing your taste buds to dance with undiscovered delight. Since you’re new to juicing Kim, I recommend only juicing vegetables and fruits that you enjoy eating. As time goes on, you can try out other foods as well as increased amounts of those foods.”
Kimberly motioned to Leslian “Go on, tell me what else to expect from this juicing thing”.
Concentrated Nutrients
Don’t rush me Kim, Leslian pouted “As a dedicated vegetarian, you are well aware of the benefits of eating fruits and vegetables daily. What you may not have known, is that by actually juicing these delicious foods, you are consuming the maximum concentrated benefits of their nutrients. How? Simple, when you cook food, you lose up to 97% of their nutrients. That’s quite a loss huh? There are certain precautions and methods towards picking, storing and cooking food that will minimize the loss of nutrients, but that’s a discussion for another time. Suffice to say, juicing your foods will retain almost a 100% if not all depending on certain circumstances. When you juice, you take raw vegetables and fruits to do the job. Because juicing produces no heat or any other method that causes nutritional loss, you consume high levels of nutrients.”
Vital Nutrients
Kimberly listened with heightened fascination while Leslian continued delivering the benefits of juicing, “there are some nutrients like certain antioxidants that do an outstanding job fighting lung cancer, stroke and heart disease. By cooking away anywhere from 74% to 97% of these nutrients, you are actually doing yourself a disservice and a potentially lethal one at that. There are other numerous nutrients that also fight disease on our behalf. To consume the entire soup kitchen, start juicing and drinking them on a regular basis. Nutrients like beta carotene and other carotenoids do great things such as boosting your immune system.”
No Pulp Fiction
“It’s a known fact that when you juice, pulp remains in the juicer Kim. Over the years there have been many views on what do with that pulp and why. From just discarding it to employing other culinary uses for it. In essence, that pulp contains high levels of fiber and truly should not be thrown out. Fiber has too many benefits to simply dismiss it so easily. Some experts recommend using the pulp in food and others suggest putting some of the pulp back into the juice for greater health rewards. What I can tell you is that the pulp acts as a fertilizer for the good bacteria in the colon and that’s a definite plus Kim.” Leslian looked at her friend intently.
Cheers to Juicing
Kimberly raised an eyebrow at Leslian’s sudden intent stares. “Well! There are many different views on juicing by many different experts all across Azantalight, but no matter their differences, they all agree on one thing, juicing, whatever the method use, contain far more positives than the many differences and opinionated views varying experts concede to have. Not juicing is a none-option in today’s world of undernourished bodies and minds. Start juicing and gain the many nutrients that your body craves Kim. A nutrient fortified body is able to prevent and fight off various diseases and ailments that come under attack on a daily basis.” Leslian concluded.
Kimberly clapped her hands and said, “I’m convinced dear friend, let me try some of that squeezed juice over there”. Both friends smiled at each other and sat down to drink something interesting.
