Hello, Beauties🌸 Did you know you can get more nutrients from veggies by juicing?
By now you know I don’t just talk fashion here at The Age of Grace. My participation in a weekly Wellness Wednesday collaboration prompted me to write content instead of just posting a photo on my Instagram.
Now back to juicing. My first recollection of anyone juicing was fitness expert, television host, and nutrition expert Jack LaLanne. Mr. LaLanne sometimes referred to as the Godfather of Fitness. He lived until 96 years old so he must have done something right.
Most mornings when time permits, I start my day with a healthy green smoothie. The concoction includes any green vegetable but usually spinach or kale, a banana, blueberries, pineapple with almond milk. Most of the items ready-to-go in my freezer.
Early evening when I arrive home from work, this is the time I will eat just about anything and everything. To help curb the ravenous feeling, I drink a glass of vegetables by juicing beets and carrots with apples. I sometimes mix it up with celery and cucumbers and throw in fresh ginger.
According to the Mayo Clinic, there’s no scientific evidence extracted juices are healthier than the nectar you get by eating the vegetable itself. I know when I juice on a consistent basis, I feel better, and my complexion looks brighter.
The only negative thing about juicing is the clean-up of the machine. I usually place the removable parts in the dishwasher. However, there is a boatload of pulp leftover from the vegetables that makes you wonder about its use.
What about you, have you tried juicing? If yes, do share your thoughts in the comments section.
As always, thank you for reading. Have a fabulous week.
