For many years there are have been books upon books and many different publications published about how many benefits there are to juicing. So, really, the topic is not really revolutionary. But the fact that people are still interested in it and talking about it should tell you something. And think about the fact that juices have existed for thousands of years. Do not, however, try to simply drink juices instead of eating whole foods. There are differences between the two with both having their unique appeals and possible advantages. Juicing should be done if it serves your purposes, but it's not needed if you like eating whole foods.
Perhaps the greatest dietary irony is that you are supposed to get a (really high) number of servings of fruits and veggies every day. There probably are not a lot of people who can actually accomplish that, however, because the number is so high. And this is another one of the appeals of juicing because you can come much closer to that ideal number. Don't forget, either, that it can cost quite a lot of money to actually eat all of those fruits and vegetables each day.
Here in 2012, with gas prices the way they are and droughts in some countries - these foods are no longer cheap. And you'll want to use organic foods to avoid pesticides. In short, it's expensive to stay healthy, so just do what you can, take a good vitamin every day - and just don't worry about it.
We've discovered so much about nutrition over the last two decades or so. And researchers will not stop finding out valuable information about the foods we eat. Micronutrients and phytonutrients are in pretty much every veggie or fruit. These are different than regular minerals and vitamins. When you prepare juices from these foods, you'll be saving the nutritional value of the foods. You should also understand which enzymes are actually found in veggies and fruits. And if you can consume them whole, they will do you a lot more good. When compared to cooking, juicing is best because the high heat of cooking keeps the enzymes in veggies (and fruits on the rare occasions they are cooked) from performing properly after they've been eaten.
The thing that matters the most is that you do not give in to any of the marketing hype when it comes to this subject. Juicing is a lifestyle way of getting proper nutrition, and it's actually better than taking a vitamin. It is still a good idea to do both, however--it shouldn't cause a problem. This is how you can more or less cover all the bases and ensure you're getting everything that you need to get.
Experienced juicers often tell people who are new that there are some things you should steer clear of until you gain more experience. It is well known that there are some vegetables that cause bad reactions in the stomach. And this is probably because of the concentration of nutrients in the juice. If you're new to juicing, juicing things like cucumbers and celery are a good place to start. Adding lemon and lime can help you make it taste better. These are the two fruits that are used more often than any other to help make veggies taste better. They're good for you and won't cause a problem, and they'll add a nice taste dimension that you'll probably find agreeable. Half the fun of juicing is the series of trials and errors you need to go through which is good because that is the only course that you can take.
If you want to get better nutrition and increase your nutrient intake, juicing is the best way to do that. It does have an added element because it gives you variety with your combinations. This is the part that juicers find truly appealing, the variety. Toss a few ice cubes into your glass and you can even make a refreshing beverage on a hot day!
