f you are looking for a great way to get the most energizing and nutritious meal
substitutes or snacks, consider juices. We do not mean the pre-made
juices on store shelves. Though there can be some that are wholesome and
made with the best intentions, there is absolutely nothing like
homemade juices.
You can make them with fruits, vegetables and herbs. You can use them to get the best nutrition or to simply detox your body through the use of enzymes, nutrients, and fiber. You can also use healthy homemade juices to lose weight. Just remember to place an emphasis on:
Why would these things make for healthier juices? They are the storage areas for many of the macronutrients - which include protein, vitamins calcium, carbohydrate and fat - that are essential to bodily health. They are called "macro" because we need balanced quantities of them.
The pulp and fiber will provide the materials that provide energy, and which support metabolism. In addition to the macronutrients, there will be dietary minerals, vitamins, water, and what food experts call the essential nutrients. These include the many vitamins, amino acids, and minerals that are so essential to proper bodily functions and optimal health.
Remember too that a lot of the so-called "waste or pulp" materials from your healthy juicing habits can be used for many things such as, pasta paste, veggie dips, veggie burgers, soup's and many others you can even give them to your pet or if you love gardening it's the best compost for your plants.
Remember too that you don't want anything used for juicing to sit around the refrigerator for too long as it will lose out on nutritional value. Fresh foods are ideal, and trimmings in the fridge a day or two should be fine as well.
Also remember that you want to create juices that offer complete nutrition - or as complete - as possible. Make mixtures that offer a solid dose of vitamins, and always keep in mind that the juicing process is going to help to retain many of the enzymes, as long as the foods are not exposed to too much abrasion and friction.
Why? This creates heat, and heat is the enzymes worst enemy. While a moderate amount of grinding will not put food at risk for a loss of nutrients and enzymes, really grinding things for a lengthy period of time is going to degrade them. So, just remain aware of this issue.
You need to consider these issues too because you can use non-organics and less than ideal foods for juicing, but you will be consuming drinks that do not contain the value you had intended. Remember that some juices are a bit higher in sugar and you don't want to drink a lot of fruit juice without also getting more than a quick burst of sugar energy and little nutrition.
Choose fresh, organic, and healthy foods, handle them with care and respect, and you should get great results.
