A person may choose to juice fruits or vegetables for a number of reasons: ➠ to detox the body from harmful chemicals while fasting ➠ a pre- workout or recovery tonic ➠ an in between meal energy boost ➠cleanse the body/mind ➠ enhance immunity ➠ revitalize the body systems, and more. When juicing fruits and vegetables, you’re giving the digestive system a much needed break, while still providing fuel for your body. |

Our immune system has to work hard all through the year, whether it’s offering protection from a virus or an infection that could happen at any time. Therefore, I like to ensure a healthy lifestyle as a priority. Juicing is a quick and healthy way to consume adequate servings of fruits and vegetables into your diet to boost immunity health.
❖ Fruit Juicing
|
Fruit juices help cleanse the body and nourish it with important ingredients, including cancer-fighting antioxidants. Any fruit can be juiced and is particularly delicious in contrast to vegetables. When juicing fruits, leave small seeds in, except when using apples. Apple seeds contain cyanide, a toxic substance when overly digested. The skins of citrus fruits are bitter. Oranges and grapefruits are especially bitter and also contain a toxic substance on the skin of these fruits that should not be consumed. Kiwis and papayas are tropical fruits, and the skin likely contains residuals of harmful pesticide spraying. Favorite cleansing fruit juices are: ✢Apples ✢Watermelon ✢Apricots ✢Grapefruits ✢Kiwis ✢Oranges ✢Pineapple ✢Papayas ✢Peaches |
|
❖ Vegetable Juicing
At-home, fresh vegetable juice is a restorer for the body. They boost the immune system, remove acid waste, and purifies the blood.
Amongst the healthiest vegetables to juice are: ✢Beets ✢Cabbage ✢Celery ✢Cucumber ✢Kale ✢Parsley ✢Spinach ✢Watercress ✢Wheatgrass |
Vegetable juice contains less sugar than fruity juices made at home and is a better option for most people. For the most health and immunity benefits, use different vegetables when making your juices. In this way, you will provide your body with a variety of priority nutrients.

❖ Organic Produce
|
Eating organic fruits and vegetables from the produce section or grown at home means that you are ingesting high amounts of vitamins, minerals, and fiber needed for the homeostasis of the body.
The more fruits and vegetables you eat, the more important it is to buy organically grown produce. The difference between organic and conventional produce is the number of pesticides used to defend against insects while the plant is in the growing stage. |
Juice most produce with stems and leaves intact; washing/soaking/rinsing thoroughly prior. However, remove carrot and rhubarb greens. These contain a toxic substance harmful to the body.
If you want to use soft fruits that contain very little water, like bananas, papayas, or avocado- puree the fruits in a blender first, then stir into other juices for a liquid consistency.
Remember to rotate vegetables and fruits so that you consume a variety of nutrients. You can maintain good health with juicing at-home to boost immunity health. Tolerated by most people, fruit, and vegetable juicing supplies many essential vitamins and minerals needed for good health, strong immunity, and balance.
