Freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juices can work wonders for the body and mind.
Although it is best to consume whole fruits and vegetables to save the fiber, many of us fail to consume them. Some people have a very sluggish digestive system and even fruits and vegetables become difficult to digest. It is also said that when the fresh juices from the fruits and vegetables are consumed, nutrients are more ‘bioavailable’ to the cells. Most of the nutrients are retained in the juice.
