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. Stonebarger Asks some important questions of interest to Durant residents - Chiropractor Durant Dr. Stonebarger Asks...

Do nerves actually get pinched?
Chiropractors recognize two types of nerve disorders involved in subluxation. The least common is a pinched nerve that diminishes nerve supply to an affected organ or tissue. More common is the irritated nerve (facilitative lesion) which overexcites nerve communications to an affected organ or tissue. Chiropractic care has been shown to help with both types.
Is a muscle spasm a cause or an effect?
With the knee-jerk use of muscle relaxers, you'd think it was a cause. But it's an effect. Chiropractors know that bones don't move unless muscles move them. And muscles don't contract unless commanded by the nervous system. That's why your nervous system is the focus of our Durant chiropractic practice.
