Give Yourself an Energy Boost with Fresh Green Juice

Most people agree that no other food is more enzyme-rich and nutrient-rich than freshly made vegetable juice. For our bodies, it is the most easily digestable form of nutrition available. That is why it is unfortunate that, when most people think of vegetable juice, they picture a bottle of V-8 or a can of tomatoe juice. However, vegetable juices can be really delicious and even the biggest skeptics can be converted, when they start to experience the health benefits.

If you feel you never have energy to do things, if you are feeling constantly hungry, if you are craving junk food, a glass of juice can help. Grab your juicer (if you dont have one, then go and buy one, because you are worth it!), buy some fruits and vegetables (see the recipe below for a shopping list), make some fresh juice, and drink to your health! Do this twice daily for amazing results, daily for great results, three times a week for good results, or even just once a week for improvement!

Fresh juice has all nutrients that your body needs in a form that can be easily absorbed giving you instant energy boost! Its also great for your health. If you search the Internet, you can read thousands of stories about people who cured themselves of various ailments, lost weight and improved their well-being by drinking freshly made juices.

Recipe for a Green Juice Cocktail

There are many recipes that you can find on the Internet and in books on the subject. Here is one versatile recipe for a Green Juice Cocktail, that is often recommended as you browse through various resources:

Simple version (fewer ingredients):

3 stalks of celery or 1 head of lettuce (e.g. romaine)

5-6 leaves of kale (you can add some other greens too, such as 1 cup of spinach)

1 or 2 apples or pears

1 whole lemon (with peel)

Additional/optional ingredients ” pick and choose whatever you like or have on hand:

1 cucumber

1/4 to 1/2 ripe papaya (1/2 results in a sweeter juice)

1/2 cup of of parsley (or cilantro)

1 cup of fennel (stalk can be used too)

I like to add some beets or carrots sometimes too, but then of course it is no longer green juice… Some people also like to add a slice of garlic and/or ginger.

Drink it every morning or afternoon to jumpstart your energy!

For most benefits, it is best to drink your juice on an empty stomach.

The Benefits of Drinking Fresh Juice

So why juice fruits and vegetables instead of just eating them? What’s the benefit?

Well, first of all, a juicer separates the juice from the fiber of the fruits and vegetables making them easier to absorb, leaving you with organic water with all the important nutrients: vitamins, minerals, and enzymes from the plants. And second, just consider having to chop and then chew all the above ingredients – it sure does take a while!

Of course, having fiber is important too, but because it is removed from the juice, your body will not have to waste energy on digestion. The nutrients will go straight into the cells to do their work. So, whenever you are experiencing low energy or any health issues – make yourself some fresh juice!
