The greatest part about juicing is you are getting in way more fruits and vegetables than you ever could without it.
I juiced as a supplement to my diet, rather than fasting and using juice in place of meals.
Juice is easier to digest than whole fruits and vegetables. Juice doesn't need to be chewed or broken down in the digestive system, it's ready for the body to take the nutrients it needs.
I also noticed when I started juicing, I didn't rely on coffee as much as I normally do. The natural antioxidants and vitamins in fruit and vegetable juice give you a natural surge of energy. The best part is you don't have that caffeine crash later in the day either.
Juicing is a great way to stay hydrated and detoxify the body. One reason you are constantly flushing your body with fluids and nutrients when you juice. After day 3 of juice detoxing, you start to feel like a million bucks. The only downside is that you will notice that your bladder always feels full, especially the first few days of juicing.
After juicing for five days, I felt healthier overall: Mentally, physically, and even emotionally.
My brain felt so clear. My focus definitely went up a few notches. I was able to run easier because I wasn't full of tons of food, but light and vitamin-packed juice. Overall, I give juicing an A-, just because I could live with a few less tinkle breaks.
