Juicing

Thinking about the values to juicing fruits and vegetables to help your skin? In a word: absolutely. It is no secret a modification in your meals can compliment your skin. It is also true that consuming the correct foods will promote healthier skin, inside and out. But add the component of juicing to get accelerated results.

If there were foods that perhaps are good for your skin, what if you were juicing them? What would happen if you juiced what doctors recommend as good foods for your skin? What values might you receive, and how might they present themselves?

It has been said that dermatologists (healthy skin specialists) think that antioxidants might diminish risks and problems for your skin. Vitamins A, C, and E can help decrease problems from the sun or environmental damage from “free radicals”, which without getting into scientific terminology, is ultimately bad for your skin. There are other considerations one might want to avoid such as smoking cigarettes or cigars, extended sun exposure, and alcohol consumption, too. But foods rich in such vitamins can only benefit for your skin.

Vitamin A Now, you certainly can get too much vitamin A, which is why you may want to have a chat with your doctors about juicing benefits. A fat soluble vitamin, vitamin A can be stored in your body for later use as needed. If you eat vitamin A or similar vitamins that your body can transform to vitamin A, you’re probably getting more antioxidants than if you do not.

Here are some foods that are high in vitamin A that you can not so coincidentally juice: carrots, the flesh of a pumpkin, kale, sweet potatoes, mango, spinach leaves, cantaloupe, and butternut squash.

In my up and coming article, I will describe how one can juice these and other foods.

Vitamin C. Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin; that means your body cannot store it. Holistic doctors of mine have suggested that you get Vitamin C daily.

Other foods you can juice for Vitamin C include: orange, broccoli, kiwis, red bell peppers, brussel sprouts, strawberries and kale. Yes, these will be high in Vitamin C.

Down the road, I will describe how you can juice these and other foods.

Vitamin E. This is another fat-soluble vitamin. The human body can store it. Many people put vitamin E on their skin. Here are additional juicing options for vitamin E: most nuts, seeds, and spinach. Again, these will be rich with Vitamin E. But you do not have to get fanatical about it since you’ll be better off drinking the juice, rather than just putting each on your skin.

Indeed, before you add juicing to your glowing skin diet, consult your doctors. Nourishing your skin with juicing is only one of the healthy benefits. Say Yes to having healthy skin, younger looking skin. You’ll get antioxidants, vitamins A, C and E, and it just tastes so healthy.

There are a couple ways of thinking pertaining to how to juice: people who act like they have a clue what they’re reporting about and people who really do. If you want the latter and tired of the 1st, Big Joe’s exclusive publication will give you the peace of mind you’ve been wanting, plus a no cost, regular stash of juicing information to will inspire, motivate and when acted upon, will make you more healthy.

Now here is the true, strange tale of what I noticed from a wheatgrass fanatic who put it straight in his eyeballs. But, what compelled this man to be so tempted?

Wheatgrass is rich in with nutritional benefits. Personally, I like an ounce or two of wheatgrass now and then, which is in no way unusual. But, as you might guess, there are those who are thought to be normal and those who are by any definition radical about the ingredients that both parties find tempting wheatgrass, in this case. I’d want to think I’m of the normal, realistic crowd, who stampedes to grasses for their nutritional impact.

What is so fabulous about wheatgrass juicers? Juicing wheatgrass gives you healthy doses of: chlorophyll, enzymes, minerals, and vitamins, each in potent amounts. It is thought that chlorophyll is good for your blood, because of its like chemical makeup of your blood cells. The verdict is still undecided on that, as far as I am concerned, but no scientist can deny its nutritional potency for such a small amount consumed. That’s why I take wheatgrass so frequently; it’s hard to get anything that compares, in my opinion.

But, there are those among us juicers, who take things to a new dimension – like the day I was at my favorite health food store. They had an electric wheatgrass juicer on display. And a customer was drinking a shot or two of wheatgrass. Nothing unusual or out of place about that, right? But then he got out an eyedropper and put it in a third glass of wheatgrass juice and started using the eyedropper to put wheatgrass juice into his eyeballs. Oh, this has lots of minerals and vitamins, he said, as he attempted to keep his eyes open, tears of green, running down the sides of his face.

Here’s another curious, although in this case odd, reason why I encourage you to talk to your health care provider before juicing. The common idea when one finds something that is really good for them, is to do more of it. And while, logically, that may seem logical, it is not always a wise practice. Such as, in this example, showering juiced wheatgrass into your eyeball. Think what you like, but I only drink mine.

A different example of such thinking might be: let’s say, you have been working out at the gym, and were experiencing good progress with weight training. After a few sessions lifting free weights, you began to experience results. Now, the fanatical weight lifter enthusiast in this example, might logically believe that they can go from lifting one hundred pounds, to suddenly lifting three hundred pounds. That seems absurd, possibly? Not to mention dangerous to the point that it could do more harm than good.

With juicing in general, not just wheatgrass, it’s smart to consider the idea of starting off slow. When I first started juicing wheatgrass, I added about an ounce or two to my carrot juice. In about a 2 parts wheatgrass, to 8 parts carrot juice. I didn’t feel so good when I tried to drink a shot or two straight, like I discovered other people doing at the local juice bar. So, even now, after years of juicing, I still drink it slowly with other juices mixed in mostly.

If you should get into wheatgrass with your juicing, remember you can use a masticating juicer to get both the juice and benefits from grass and similar greens. Many people make the common mistake, believing just any juicer will do. That’s not true. Also, there are wheatgrass juicers. Wheatgrass juicers come in both electrical and hand crank, or manual models. Both will get the job done, but hand crank models often must be clamped on to the lip of a counter (and not all of today’s modern kitchens can accommodate this). This hand crank could be viewed as a good thing, or a bad thing, as you get one heck of a workout, long before you ever get your first glass of wheatgrass.

Juicing wheatgrass is not for beginners: it’s something to get used to. It may be too potent to your body if you are not already healthy inside and out.

As a matter of record we don’t believe in juicing wheat grass to put into your open eyes. That’s definitely a bit too oddball by our standards, and Joe is juicing every single day. Even though, if you aren’t that unlevel, and are actively looking for real experience and juicing secrets, then one would be out of the loop if you didn’t hear what Joe is sharing with his audience up at JuicingTips.com, the tell it like it is newsletter that’s changing the way men and women live their life – and it is being given away.
