effective juice program, according to nutritional researchers.
Juicing
Juicing, and the benefits of a juicing program, have long been recognized
around the world. Since the early part of this century, researchers
such as Norman Walker, D.Sc., and Bernard Jensen, D.C., Ph.D., have
investigated the effects of juice as part of the daily diet.

Their studies show that juice can provide all the basics of human
nutrition, including carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals.
Juicing adds to the benefits of fruits and vegetables. Because juicing
removes fiber, the important nutrients and phytochemicals found in plants
are absorbed more easily by our bodies--sometimes within minutes--without
too much effort on the part of the digestive system. As well, more of the
nutrients are absorbed; fiber is not present to escort some of them out of
the body.
How healthy is juicing? According to the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, three raw carrots (216 g, or a little less than one-half pound)
contain about 2 g of protein, 21 g of carbohydrates, 60 mg of calcium, 1 mg
of iron, 696 mg of potassium, 60,000 International Units (IU) of vitamin A
in the form of beta carotene, 19 mg of vitamin C, 30 mcg of folate, and
traces of many more vitamins and minerals.
Fresh fruit and vegetable juices are also rich in enzymes. Enzymes spark
the hundreds of thousands of chemical reactions that occur throughout the
body; enzymes are essential for the digestion and absorption of food, for
the conversion of foodstuffs into body tissue, and for the production of
energy at the cellular level. In fact, enzymes are essential for most of
the building and rebuilding that goes on in the body every day. When foods
are cooked, enzymes can be destroyed; that is why raw foods and juices are
so important to us. They provide us with an excellent source of
all-important enzymes.
Nutritional researchers have concluded that there are three juices that
form the core of any effective juice program: a green vegetable juice, a
carrot juice, and a beet juice. Combined, these three juices provide a
simple way to add natural, healthy nutrients to your diet. This is the
