Eating well and Juicing smarter

It is never too early or too late in life to learn good and balanced eating habits. While juicing is a wonderful supplement and even a detox agent (Click here for Detox related reading) we would encourage you to eat a well balanced diet always.

• Remember that small meals taken regularly are better than long periods without food, followed by a heavy meal.

• Large rich meals late in the night should be avoided if possible, more so for elderly folks. Digesting a cooked meal in the middle of the day is easier on your body.

• Make sure you drink plenty of fluids. Water & Juices ! Check our water therapy section for the water part of it and our resourceful website for the juicing part of it.

We cannot start to write down the benefits of water ! It is the source of all life ! You will probably notice that we repeat the importance on water on this website. (Click here for Water Therapy related reading)

Having said that, for most of you healthier eating will simply be a matter of adjusting and balancing of what you already eat and drink. Here are a few tips on that.

• Eat more fiber in the form of fruit, vegetables and whole grains. Yes, we want to be honest that juicing alone will not give you this important component for good digestion and balancing your juicing diet.

• Cut down on fat. Choose lean meats & fish, drink skimmed milk and grill rather than fry foods.

• Eat less whites, particularly cut down on sugar and salt as much as possible. Choose low calorie drinks and unsweetened fruit juice. Try not to add sugar or salt to your juices, drinks, cereals etc. Avoid adding salt to your cooking where possible.

• Instead of cakes, biscuits, sweets or chocolates, try variety of fresh fruits or unsalted snacks as many times as possible.

A well balanced diet combined with plenty of fluids (water & juices) definitely helps promote healthy skin, body and a sharp and alert mind.. It would be incomplete if we do not digress and mention that restful sleep, relaxation, and a stress free lifestyle definitely complements all of the above. Easier said then done in todays fast paced world, but it still is a choice that we can make every day.
