Health Benefits of Juicing

There are many health benefits to drinking pure, unadulterated vegetables, and fruit juices. And by unadulterated, we mean “not store-bought.” Store-bought smoothies often contain high amounts of sugar that negate the “health” aspects customers are looking for. Among the many benefits of juicing, Healthy Kitchen 101 referenced numerous, small scale studies that looked at diabetes, heart disease, and Alzheimer’s. In each study, juicing revealed proven benefits. Adults who consumed apple juice decreased their risk of coronary artery disease. Pomegranate juice lowered insulin resistance, and there’s even evidence that consuming fruit and vegetable juices can delay the onset of Alzheimer’s.

Healthy Kitchen 101 also mentioned that consuming 150 ml of vegetable and fruit juice per day will give adults one of the five recommended servings needed. If you’re a picky eater and find eating fresh fruits and vegetables non-palatable, juicing them might the ideal way to sneak your servings in.

Pros And Cons of Juicing For Weight Loss

Juicing Recipes For Weight Loss

The Bariatric & Metabolic Center of Colorado is one of many resources to check out when trying to decide if using juicing recipes for weight loss is right for you. Some of the benefits they mentioned included that consuming nutrient-dense foods as smoothies could yield weight loss at an average of one pound per day because of the reduced caloric intake; and because the vegetables are still being consumed raw, more of the essential micronutrients are being left intact.

Very Well Fit has provided a number of considerations when exploring juicing and juicing recipes for weight loss. One such consideration is that while you will lose weight when only consuming fruit and vegetable juice, some people might experience an increase in stress levels because they’re hungry and not eating. This can drive some people to binge eat once their juice fast is over. Another consideration is the increased sugar intake. Many fruits have high amounts of sugar and consuming sugar in high amounts can increase insulin, making people feel hungry and also contributing to insulin resistance which can cause type two diabetes.

How To Juice With A Blender

Juicing Recipes For Weight Loss

Some experts such as those at Healthline recommend that some of the best juicing recipes for weight loss are done using a blender instead of a dedicated juicer. The reason for this is that when you use a juicer, the juice is being separated from the pulp that contains a rich amount of fiber as well as other antioxidants. Consuming fiber is what will make people feel fuller for longer. The trick with using a blender for juicing recipes is to pick the right fruits and vegetables for the job. Oster has a list of the best fruits and vegetables for blending. The fruits mentioned include berries, avocado, and bananas. The vegetables listed include spinach, squash, and kale.
