Depending upon each individual, healing diets in people affected by cancer often include daily fresh juices of vegetables and sometimes fruits. These diets provide high levels of nutrition with cancer fighting components and wellness promoting nourishment. Juicing is a fast and easy way to inject the body with vitality and easily absorbable vitamins and minerals in liquid form. Juice your anti-cancer cocktail and tune into how your body feels.

What is juicing?

Using a machine called a juicer, juicing makes fresh juices with foods such as vegetables and fruits.

What nutritional value is provided through juicing?

Fresh vegetable juices, especially those made with alkaline green vegetables, provide high levels of oxygen, enzymes, and other nutrients to the body supporting healthy cellular functions, including detoxification. Vegetables also contain properties that help prevent cancer and promote healthy genes. Vegetable juice is absorbed well into the body.

Drinking fresh vegetable juice shortly after making it provides optimal nutritional value of the ingredients. But, you can also make enough juice in the morning for more juice in the afternoon. Drinking juice more than once daily, and even if the second juice was made earlier in the day, is more important compared to less juice.

Should I use a special type of juicer?

Twin gear juicers without blades create juice with the most nutritional value. Juicers with high velocity blades kill more enzymes, but operate faster and require easier clean up. Use the juicer that works for you.

What foods should I juice?

Make your juice with fresh organic vegetables. Adding fruit is another option. However, some providers advise people with cancer not to eat fruits due to the natural sugar content. Research studies also demonstrate anti-cancer activity from fruits.

What are some juice recipes?

Try combinations in recipes and experiment with your own juice cocktail. Keep your refrigerator stocked with your core juice ingredients such as cucumber and celery. Broccoli stems, sprouts, beet, carrot, spinach, parsley, lettuce, pepper, cabbage, kale, fennel, and fruits if you eat them are other possibilities. You can also add a small amount of water to your juice. Experiment to find juices that you love.
