Introduction
It’s no secret that fresh fruits and vegetables are essential foods for achieving and maintaining good health. So much so, in fact, that today even the American Cancer Society and the National Cancer Institute recommend at least five servings of fruits and vegetables each day as a means of preventing cancer. This is noteworthy because both of these organizations for many years of their existence ignored the importance of a healthy diet in relationship to good health.
What is not as well known, however, is how potent the fresh-squeezed juice of fruits and vegetables can be as a valuable aid for improving and maintaining your health. Yet, fruit and vegetable juices have been used for centuries by healers because of their healing and medicinal properties. In fact, even the word chemical is related to juicing. It is derived from the Greek word chemia, which means “the juice of a plant.”
Preparing your own fresh fruit and vegetable juices is one of the easiest and most convenient methods you can use to take care of your health and the health of your loved ones. By making juicing a part of your daily health practice, you will be obtaining a rich source of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and other vital nutrients that your body can quickly put to good
use without the need for the energy expenditures necessary to digest food. You will also be helping your body to better cleanse and rejuvenate itself, while boosting your immunity and increasing your resistance to harmful microorganisms and environmental toxins.
Regularly drinking fresh fruit and vegetable juices can also increase your stamina and vitality, since such juices are concentrated sources of energy that contain an abundance of life-giving nutrients. The energy benefits that juicing can provide are particularly helpful during times of fatigue, stress, and illness, since fresh juices, unlike foods, do not have to first be digested by the body before the nutrients they contain can be used. The process of digestion requires time and energy. Since fresh juices are virtually self-digesting, the energy that is normally used for digestion is freed up so that your body can use it to repair and maintain itself.
In addition, juicing makes it easier to obtain far greater concentrations of nutrients than fruits and vegetables contain in their solid state. This is because, during the juicing process, the juices that fruits and vegetables contain are separated from fruit and vegetable pulp. This leaves most of the nutrients in the juice, without the bulk and weight of the pulp. For example, it requires approximately 5 pounds of carrots in order to make 1 quart of fresh-squeezed carrot juice. Eating 5 pounds of carrots every day is hardly a realistic option for most people, whereas drinking a quart of carrot juice is realistic.
In this book, you will discover how and why incorporating fresh-squeezed juices into your daily lifestyle can enhance your overall health goals. The information we will share with you is based on over 25 years of clinical experience on the part of Dr. Steven Bailey, a leading naturopathic physician and an internationally recognized authority on therapeutic juicing and fasting. Dr. Bailey incorporates juicing as an integral part of his overall recommendations for nearly all of the patients he sees at his clinic in Portland, Oregon, and is himself an avid juicer with 40 years of personal experience.
In the chapters that follow, we will share with you the “fruits” of Dr. Bailey’s clinical and personal experience. In Part One, The Art of Juicing, you will discover:
• Why juicing is so important to good health
• A history of juicing
• How to juice
• How to select the healthiest fruits and vegetables for juicing
• How to select a juicer that provides the best results and is compatible to what you can afford to purchase
• How to properly conduct a juice fast and why juice fasting can be so beneficial to your health
• Delicious and nutritious smoothies and tonics, including “the healthiest smoothie in the world”
• How juicing can enhance your appearance
• Healthy eating guidelines that can further improve your health
In Part Two, Juice Recipes for Health Disorders, you will learn the specific juice combinations that you can use to help resolve over 120 of the most common health disorders. You’ll find an alphabetical listing of conditions and afflictions, and the best juicing recipes to help prevent and/or heal those problems.
As you start to make use of the information we will be sharing with you, you will soon discover that juicing is not only easy to do, but it is also fun. And the results can be delicious! So, if you are ready to literally drink your way to improved health, turn the page and read on.
