Juicing For Life


As I prepare to juice some fresh fruits and vegetables for a friend, I thought about you all, my valued readers. People often negate the benefits of juicing for many different reasons, but they shouldn’t.  Drinking fresh fruits and vegetables on a consistent basis can have a profound impact on your overall health.

I know that some of you may be apprehensive about juicing because you think that it is too expensive or extremely time consuming. However, when it comes to good health, we have to be willing to make the necessary sacrifices. Juicing doesn’t have to be expensive. You can get a juicer from a friend or family member that may no longer be using theirs. For a long time I used an old, small hand me down juicer from my grandmother. Now it wasn’t the best juicer or the most efficient, but at the end of the day I had a way to prepare healthy, nutrient dense drinks for our household. You can also check out discount sites like www.amazon.com to find smaller, less expensive juicers.  

I usually take 2 hours a week to juice fresh fruit and vegetable juices for me and my family. You get the most nutrition value out of fresh juices within the first 24 hours of consumption, but most fresh juices will retain good nutrient value for 2-3 days after juicing, this is why I juice twice per week.  Some may say, “Wow a whole hour of juicing, I can’t do that?” Although, when you weigh the health benefits against 2 hours of your time, it’s so worth it. Think about it this way, a week is comprised of 168 hours, I am simply suggesting that you take 2 hours out of that time to help add quality and value to your life!    

There is so much more information that I want to share with you as it relates to juicing. Therefore, I will be sure to write more on this subject in the weeks to come. I hope this information will encourage you to try something new to help you take your health to the next level on purpose, with purpose! I would love to hear about your adventures in juicing. Feel free to comment below this post to share!

Living Purposefully,
