Juicing

Juicing is another dietary habit that requires moderation. Certainly any fruit or vegetable juice is far better for you than a soft drink or some other sugar-laced beverage. But the principle of moderation must once again be heeded. Juicing allows you to eat far more veg­etables or fruit than you possibly could eat if you were to eat them whole. Nature has a way of determining your need for a food based on your hunger or appetite. Don't chronically "trick" your body into eating far more nutrient substances than it possibly could under normal circumstances. Undesirable mineral balances can re­sult from a preoccupation with juicing. Have one small glass of juice or less each day; don't let juice become the entire focus of your diet. This is not to say, however, that some regular juicing cannot be a very valuable addition to your diet. Your clinical status, as well as your bloodwork and hair analysis, can give added clues as to whether you are drinking too much juice.
