Obtaining all the nutrients from Juices - I
Hi Friends,
As we know we all want to live a long and healthy life. Our efforts are always directed towards that goal. In case we fall ill, we endeavour to get a speedy recovery from our illness. This expectation of us can be realized and our efforts can meet with success through vegetable and fruit juices. But the important question is how to get all the nutrients that are contained in fruit and vegetable juices, for the recovery from disease depends on the availability of all the nutrients contained in fruit and vegetable juices.
Juices must always be fresh. Only fresh, live juices are effective for the cure of disease. Carotene (which is converted into Vitamin 'A') found in vegetables is very sensitive to oxygen in the air, e.g., if carrots are shredded and kept unused for 20 to 25 minutes, most of their vitamin 'A' is oxidised. Similarly, if lemons, oranges, mozambizues and other citrus fruits which contain vitamin 'C' are preserved for a month, about 40% of their vitamin 'C' is lost. Even a refrigerator cannot prevent this loss.
These facts emphasize that fruits and vegetables should be fresh so that all their elements can be obtained. Another matter of importance is how to extract juice from fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables should be washed, shredded or cut before extracting their juice . Then immediately they should be put into juicer for extracting juice. In case one wants to extract juice without help of a juicer, juice extracting should be quick. This will save juices from being oxidised and all their nutritional elements contained in them are preserved.
Rinds and fibres of fruits and vegetables are rich sources of vitamins. So while extracting juice they should be properly crushed. However, care should be taken that juice ready for drinking does not contain fibre of rind. Juice diet aims at getting the maximum live elements with the minimum labour by the digestive system. To get the maximum benefits from the juices of fruits and vegetables, they must be taken fresh. Preserved juices lose their precious nutrients. It is not advisable to extract at a time the juice required for the whole day. Extract juice when required to drink.
We will discuss more about this topic in our next post.
