Juicing Fruits And Vegetables - Is It Even Good For You?

If you're like me, you love juicing fruits and vegetables (or the taste of juice, I should say.)

The problem with juice you get at the store, though, is that there are a ton of harmful additives and chemicals put in them to increase their shelf life...
... which makes drinking it not as healthy as people would have you think.

If you're like most people, the first thing that comes to your mind, when you try to solve this problem is...
... making your own juice...

... which is great, but it's far from being as good as eating whole, unprocessed, organic fruits and veggies.

See, there's a reason why the nature makes food the way it does. The whole fruit or vegetable is good for you, not just its juice.

I'll tell you even more: the pulp, which is often discarded in the process of juicing, is probably even more important than the juice itself as it contains most of the nutrients and vitamins.

Take apples for example:

When you make homemade apple juice, you have to frequently clean your juicer out because if you don't, the pulp is going to clog it up.

Now, obviously, you're not going to eat the pulp, so it lands in the trash.

What a waste!

So, is it worth it to make juice at home?

The answer to this question is two-fold.

If juicing fruits and vegetables is your only option and you can't stand eating them whole, then, by all means, do it.

If, on the other hand, you like eating them whole, don't juice.

See, the nutrients that your homemade juice contains absorb much slower than those found in whole, raw fruits and vegetables. This will obviously cause your blood sugar to spike out of proportion and throw your body's chemistry off, which, as you know, can lead to a great variety of problems, from feeling tired and weak all the time, to cancer.
