Many people juice vegetable and fruits on a daily basis without thinking too much about the pros and cons of the activity. However, it’s always wise to look beyond the marketing lines and examine the nutritional value and science behind it.

In this spirit, here are some of the health benefits of juicing:

• If your daily diet is poor, then juicing even on a semi-regular basis can provide your body some much needed nutrition.

The striping away of much of the fiber content in fruits and vegetables by the pulverization process makes it easy for your body to absorb the nutrients faster, thus giving you a high dose of nutrition.

These nutrients contribute to your overall health and well-being and help support your immune system.

• The pulverization of much of the fiber also unlocks some of the enzymes found in some fruits and vegetables and makes them available for digestion and absorption.

• If you juice regularly, you’re habituating yourself to a dietary activity that is actually of great benefit. You’re thinking of your body, your health and what you’re putting into your body, and developing this habit is of massive psychological benefit, particularly for those who have had previously poor eating habits.

This change in habit can lead to other positive life changing activities, including regular exercise and eating more foods of greater nutritional value.

Many of us don’t eat enough fruit and vegetables on a daily basis, so drinking even one small cup of freshly juiced vegetables and fruits can help our bodies.

It's beneficial to do a juice cleanse several times a year.

Our Juice Cleanses that we offer at Dandelion come in 2, 3, and 5 day options.
