Our bodies are bombarded with toxins all day long and while we do have natural systems that remove it from our body, as we age these systems don’t work as efficiently. Modern industrialization is adding more and more pollution, and therefore toxins, to our world and our systems, which were once sufficient, can no longer handle the amount of toxins we are exposed to.

One way to flush out these toxins is to juicing. Now I don’t mean from drinking juices that you buy in the store because those juices are processed and sometimes have additives (toxins). They are also stripped of their beneficial enzymes as well as some of the nutrients when they are processed. So when I talk about juicing, I’m talking about juicing your own fresh fruits and vegetables and drinking the juices when it is still fresh.

Your fresh juice is made using a juice extractor. A juice extractor is a blender like machine that extracts up to 90% of the juices from the fruits and vegetables and filters out the pulp

Juicing is great for your body because the process extracts all the enzymes, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients intact from the fiber of the fruit or vegetable. Then when you drink the juice, your body doesn’t have to do any of the work of digestion to extract these nutrients and the nutrients can literally be absorbed straight into the body.
