Why should I juice?
When we first detoxed we did not consider juicing. Too “out there”, health-foodish for us! Too time consuming and who would pay hundreds of dollars to buy a juicer and drink carrot juice??
Now we go through a minimum of 25 lbs of carrots per week, drink at least one type of juice daily and sometimes take our juicer with us on trips!
Why did we change our minds? Hallelujah Acres founder George Malkamus had a big influence on our decision and also the father of juicing, Dr. Normal Walker.
A couple of facts that really hit home:
Both Dr. Walker and Rev. Malkamus were diagnosed with a terminal disease and juicing allowed their bodies to heal without medical interventions. Dr. Walker lived to be 99 and Rev. Malkamus is in his late 70’s and going strong. Good proof.
How juice works in the body. When you drink freshly made veggie and fruit juice it is absorbed into the blood stream within 20 minutes. Then it is quickly delivered to the cells. You have millions of cells dying and replacing themselves every MINUTE. When a cell is dying, it will create a new cell exactly like itself.
Think about this, one cell on it’s way out, gets a good dose of enzymes, phytochemicals, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Suddenly this sickly cell has the toxins cleaned out and it is bathed with nutrition. The cell that replaces it will be stronger than the one that is dying!
The alternative is the dying cell which is full of toxins and old and weak creates a new cell exactly like itself and on and on. Your cells are rebuilding weaker.
You can help your body rebuild stronger!
What about high powered blenders instead of juicers, you know, where you get the fiber? These are better than nothing, however, when you drink a blended veggie it takes hours before it is available to the cell. It has to go through the entire digestive process. Juicing gets those nutrients to the cellular level fast!
Many people use juicing to recover from chronic illness, even cancer. I have seen a powerful effect on my skin since beginning a juicing regimen. My skin is completely healed from chronic and very painful eczema. When we began serious daily workouts we added a recovery juice and do not suffer from the typical aches and pains workouts produce. The fresh juice neutralizes the acids that build up in the muscles and eliminates aches, pains and cramping.
What about staying well? We have not had as much as a sniffle in the last 4 years and we are out in public regularly. We’ve not had a cold or the flu. Why? Our immune system gets it’s daily boost from fresh juice!
Will the juice at the grocery work? You will get vitamins and minerals for sure but you will miss the living part of the juice, the enzymes. The enzymes are what we are looking for when we drink fresh juice. They have powerful detoxifying effects.
What type of juicer should you buy?
Don’t waste your money on a centrifical force juicer:
- You won’t use it very long because it’s too much work to clean
- You use a lot more vegetables per glass of juice (the champion uses 1 lb of carrots for 8 oz of juice).
- They breakdown quickly
Buy a Champion, Green Star or Omega juicer
- They last about 30 years
- They are a snap to clean
- You can keep the juice longer than 20 minutes
- You get more juice out of your produce, about twice as much
Champion Juicer $350 including tax shipping
