Drink This for Better Health
We are faced with a lot of choices in our lives. What to wear, what to drive, and of course what to eat. That is an area where there is a whole host of choices. You can choose organic, heart healthy, low fat, low sugar. The list goes on and on. But what can you really trust? You can only believe in what you make yourself.
Many foods that are marketed as good for you can still contain preservatives and additives that are not good for your health. The only sure way to ensure that you are eating a healthy and wholesome diet is to be completely aware of everything that you put into your body. One way to do that is through wholesome and healthy juicing.
When you make your own juice at home you can add exactly what you want. You can be as creative as possible and come up with delicious and healthy blends of fruits and vegetables. The best thing about juicing is you will actually be adding more servings of fruits and vegetables to your diet than you are currently getting.
You can juice almost any fruit or vegetable using a home blender or juicer.
If you want to juice grasses such as wheat grass, you will need a masticating juicer that will crush the grasses to extract the juice. Now many people turn up their nose at the thought of drinking wheat grass, but it is actually very good for you. If you add wheat grass juice to other homemade juices, you will not even be able to taste it. However, many people enjoy the taste of wheat grass and drink it every day to boost their health.
When you are making your home squeezed juice, make sure you include plenty of dark colored fruits such as blueberries and blackberries. These fruits are rich in antioxidants.
You need antioxidants in your diet to help purge the free radicals from your body. Everyone has free radicals in their body. It is a part of living in a polluted world. But by eating or drinking antioxidants every day you can help your body get rid of them.
You can also mix fruits and vegetables for a great juice drink. Add vegetables that you don’t usually like to eat to a fruit juice mix. You will hardly taste the vegetables but you will get the full healthy benefit from them. Spinach is a good vegetable to add to fruit juices, the leaves blend completely but leave no taste behind!
A healthy home squeezed juice drink every day can go a long way to boosting your overall health. You will get more servings of fruits and vegetables every day and your diet will be healthier. Use fresh squeezed juice to drink to your health!
