Juicing

The best diet comes from the things that are most commonly passed by: fruits and vegetables.

Fruits and vegetables contain all of the calories, vitamins, and nutrients that the body needs to survive.  The key is how you take them in.  When cooking or steaming vegetables, most, if not all, of the nutrients are lost in the process.  Fruit and vegetable juices available at the store contain added sugars, flavoring, and refined ingredients to cause more harm than benefit.

The answer is juicing.  Why juice and not just eat them?  Chances are, you WON'T eat them!  And if you do, you will probably get real full real fast or real tired of it immediately.  Juicing adds convenience and variety to your day, not to mention color.  The nutrients will detoxify your body, the calories will create energy, and the cost will make you smile.  There are no set recipes, you add what you see fit, mix and match, and expose yourself to things you haven't before.  Example, add chia seeds, they will liquify and cleanse your GI tract during digestion.

Check out some documentaries I recently watched that detail the benefits:
