There are many reasons to drink juice. Not the least of which is to give your digestive tract a chance to rest and recover from the normal load of toxins and chemicals ingested with food on a regular basis.
Juice fasting takes this to a deeper level. You could certainly implement a juice fast - email me if you need help with this. While the point of this challenge is not to fast, you can still increase your intake of plant food by incorporating a juice into your daily routine.
Here is an easy recipe to try today:
1/2 inch slice of fresh ginger root
1/2 lemon - peeled
2 carrots with tops
1/2 apple - seeded
This will make enough for one serving. Notice that it is not a large portion, but you don't need the sugar from as much fruit as it would require to fill a glass. Just sip and enjoy this easy recipe.
Note about juice: Fresh juice should be consumed within 20 minutes of making it in order to take advantage of the enzymes and nutrients.
If you are buying your juice at a juice bar, be sure to tell them not to add any extra fruit or sugar.
