Cold pressed, organic, low sugar juices in non plastic containers aren’t evil. I love a clean refreshing one here and there. Having a juice isn’t inherently “bad.” I’m talking about utilizing JUICES as a way to “DETOX” and “HEAL” There is no evidence juicing removes toxins. The BODY removes toxins- it IS the detox system. The idea is to support your BODY’s DETOX system, so that it is running more efficiently. how does a plan of continual Juice get in the way of that? I know people like to do a #JuiceDetox #juicecleanse as a “making amends” to maybe what they did to their body by going on a spree of putting less than seemly things in their diet, lifestyle., then go back on to the yo-yo. someone can be very excited about lowering the number on the scale… but it’s not a sustainable solution Of course juices are better than drinking a soda, eating late night Pink’s Hotdog. When people feel the euphoria of “out with the bad, in with the juice,” of course it’s great. Here’s what *relying on juicing does to the body: 1. The body is intelligent. As soon as you start thinking of food, your body’s digestive enzymes start working. So secondly important is CHEWING. Chewing foods creates a cascade of acid alkaline, enzymes that help WHOLE BODY SYSTEM 2. Juice removes fiber. That yummy pectin and fibrous stuff that scrubs the gut, feeds the good bacteria, helps create #butyrate (needed for healthy immune function and more) 3. Juicing doesn’t contain essential amino acids used in the body‘s detoxification process 4. Some can be high in sugar 5. Some can be high in #goitrogens (does everyone know what’s going on with their thyroid?) 6. Juicing doesn’t contain “good fats” needed for cells, etc. 7. Lastly, lemon in juices can get in the way of carb digestion and interfere with gut health So from top to bottom, when one is opting for Juice for periods of time in replacement of these above things, or as meal replacement, is not supporting a DETOX SYSTEM. EAT WHOLE FOODS. PUT WHOLE FOODS IN A BLENDER. Chew Foods, cook foods. Get all the things you need. Your whole body will thank you. Sorry it’s not as interesting as a PUNCHY MEME, to sell products
