A couple days ago i went to an event that was held at Whole Foods and wanted to share a few things I picked up.
1. Juicing organic fruits and veggies is best but if you don't get organic then you should definitely peel everything. I'm going to personally try and do better at buying organic. I know it's more expensive but our health is priceless right? Bountiful Baskets will help accomplish this as well
2. You should drink fresh juice on an empty stomach becuase it gets into your blood stream quicker. That's also the main difference between juicing and smoothies.
3. You should consume at least 16 ounces a day for optimal health. That can be broken up into two servings or done all at once. I tend to do mine all at once. But just remember whatever you do, something is better than nothing!
4. Be careful juicing alot of fruit becuase fruit contains alot of sugar. In the beginning that was me but now I'm more about incorporating more veggies.. Believe it or not, over time your taste buds will change. If a juice is too bitter, just add an apple(it sweetens it right up). One recipe that I've been doing lately is spinach,celery,cucumber,green apple,and a half of lemon. It's very refreshing.
5. Instead of buying expense produce wash sprays, wash your fruit and veggies in a water/apple cider venegar mix. Let the produce soak for 30 mins...
6. Here's to our health!!
