(Health-NewsWire.Net, May 27, 2015 ) Chattanooga, TN -- Yvonne Hitchcock, company director of Santulana, has been investigating the benefits of drinking juices, especially vegetable juices, as a way to achieve optimum health. Freshly pressed vegetable juice contains a myriad of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients which are necessary for a healthy body and mind.
There has been criticism from some nutritionists that consuming vegetables by just drinking vegetable juice, means that the body is deprived of essential fibre which is necessary to keep the digestive system healthy. However, no one is suggesting that drinking vegetable juices is the only way to consume one's daily intake of vegetables.
Vegetable juice gives the body a boost in the morning which can replace those morning cups of coffee. It only takes 20 minutes for the body to absorb the nutrients in a glass of vegetable juice, whereas a plate full of bacon and eggs takes hours to digest and will make the body feel sluggish.
Farnoosh Brock, the author of The Healthy Juicer's Bible: Lose Weight, Detoxify, Fight Disease and Live Long, says, "Juices of fruits and vegetables are pure gifts from Mother Nature and the most natural way to heal your body and make yourself whole again." Brock states clearly that green juices take some getting used to as they are very strong in flavor. To counteract this, it is recommended to start slowly by juicing bland green foods such as cucumber and celery and to add some lime or lemon juice and a handful of cranberries.
Once the blander juices have been mastered, stronger flavoured greens can be added, such as kale, mustard greens, parsley, romaine lettuce and other health giving vegetables. It is important to remember, that these juices are concentrated foods and should be sipped slowly, perhaps while relaxing in the sun or sitting on an exercise ball or Swiss ball.
