Why Juice?

Here are the main reasons why you should be juicing!

Better Health

Modern diets are weak and not nutritious. Obesity and increases in disease are on the rise.
People who drink raw juice have glowing complexion, more energy, better immune systems and are at reduced risk of disease.
People who drink raw juice are happier and live active lifestyles.

Convenience

Drinking juice is an easy way to get in your servings of fruits and vegetables, which everyone needs on a daily basis. Fruits and vegetables provide the body with vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, living enzymes and proteins.
A 16oz juice contains the nutritional value of 6-8 salads.

Natural nutrition

95% of the vitamins and enzymes our body needs to survive are found in the juice from produce. Drinking juice is better than taking vitamins and supplements because our body recognizes produce and responds better since its natural. The body absorbs juice more effectively than synthetic supplements.

Allow for optimal PH balance

The PH scale runs from 0 (acidic) to 14 (alkaline). In order for our body to survive and continue to function, we must maintain a ph balance between 7.2-7.4 (slightly alkaline). Maintaining a slightly alkaline ph is a challenge to the body because of all the acid producing functions and acid forming foods we eat. An acidic body does not function properly and is prone to disease. Juice cleansing allows for restoration/maintenance of proper alkaline levels allowing the body to function optimally.
- Over acidity has been linked to cancer, heart disease, diabetes and osteoporosis.
  - Signs of overacidity
    - Constant fatigue
    - Easily running out of breath
    - Frequent sighing
    - Muscle pain or cramping after walking short distances
  - Cleanses your body on a cellular level. Give digestion system a break so your body can focus on healing and detoxifying itself.
