Drink to Your Health with Juicing!

Diet and nutrition image.

During the last several years, juicers have replaced blenders in many kitchens. And for a nation that spends billions a year in fast food restaurants, that’s a very good thing indeed!

Juicing is a super “scrub” for your insides, reaching all the way down to the cellular level, in a way no other cleanser can. It can also boost the immune system and provides energy to the body.

Other health benefits of specific juices...
  • Liver and blood cleansing from juicing beets and apples

  • Better kidney functioning, lowered blood pressure, and improved skin appearance from juicing cucumbers

  • Improved kidney function from juicing cranberries

  • Relief from joint stiffness and ulcer repair from juicing cabbage

Start with the vegetables you like un-juiced; remember you can eat the pulp as a great source of additional fiber. The darker green the vegetable, the better it is for you, even though it takes some getting used to! Most people love carrot juice, but beware—it’s full of natural sugars, as are most vegetables that grow underground, and can wreak havoc on insulin levels.

You can add fats and proteins to your juice for increased nutritional value. Pumpkin or flax seeds, garlic and cod liver oil or fish oil are excellent sources of fat and protein. There are other add-ins, such as coconut, lemons and ginger that will make your juice more palatable and give it some interesting flavor.

Make sure you start with quality organic produce – the juice is only as good for you as what goes into it to start. Drink the juice immediately after juicing as it loses its nutritional value quickly and is perishable. And be sure to thoroughly clean your juicer to prevent mold from accumulating in it.

Dr. Rebrovich  Asks some important questions of interest to Elk River residents - Chiropractor Elk River Dr. Rebrovich Asks...

Where do most Elk River residents get their first subluxation?
Being born in a hospital is a common source of subluxation. Trauma from forceps delivery has been replaced with drugs, vacuum extraction, Cesarean section and births that are "scheduled" to fit the workweek routines of Ob-Gyns. That's why we recommend a chiropractic checkup for every Elk River newborn.
Why do so many drugs require a prescription?
Because they can be dangerous? I chose a chiropractic career specifically because it avoids artificial means of pain relief. Our Elk River chiropractic practice attracts health-conscious families that prefer a safe and natural solution. Ready to get started? Call our office today.
