Juicing
Juicing ruptures the cell membranes of fruits and vegetables,
thereby allowing important nutritional factors like Vitamin C,
Vitamin
E,
Beta Carotene,
Minerals, and Phytonutrients to be available for
easier absorption. These nutrients are available to the body in much larger quantities than if the
piece of fruit or vegetable was eaten whole.
A classic example of this is the Carrot. Many of the nutrients are trapped in the fiber,
when you eat a raw carrot, you are only able to assimilate
about 1% of the available Beta Carotene.
When a carrot is juiced, removing the fiber,
nearly 100% of the beta carotene can be assimilated.

damage. Similarly, a number of green vegetables contain
phytochemicals that appear to offer protection against
cancer-causing free radicals. The list goes on and on: bok choy,
broccoli, Brussel sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, carrots,
collards, kale, kohlrabi, mustard greens, rutabaga,
turnip greens, red beets, peppers, garlic, onions, leeks,
and chives are but a few of the vegetables that appear to
have cancer-preventing phytonutrients.
In addition, fruit and vegetable juices are good sources
of the traditional nutrients. Citrus fruits (grapefruit,
oranges, etc.) provide healthy portions of Vitamin
C.
Carrot juice contains large quantities of vitamin A, in
the form of
Beta Carotene.
A number of green juices are
a good source of Fruit juices are a good source
of essential minerals like iron, copper, potassium, sodium,
iodine, and magnesium, which are bound by the plant in a form
that is most easily assimilated during digestion.
