Fruit Juicing

The values and benefits of fresh fruit juicing.

How to use juices successfully
in your journey to prevent and
reverse degenerative diseases.




Live Food—The Life In Your Food

Each one of us are given only this one body. We alone are responsible to nourish our body and keep it healthy for as long as possible. We all know that without health, all the money we have accumulated on this earth will amount to nothing.

Whatever you put into your mouth, let it be that you consume more nutritious foods than the harmful foods.

Nutritious foods are natural, whole, pure and fresh. The closer food is to its natural state, the higher its nutritional value. These nutritious qualities of the foods are what give life to your body.

Always choose pure, natural and whole foods over refined, bleached, polished, and processed foods with preservatives, artificial colors/flavors, or chemical additives of any kind.



Nowadays, many chemicals added to
commercially produced foods
were never meant for human consumption.

The Wonders Of Fruits

I believe fresh fruits are God's provision of the finest and best sources of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, phytonutrients and anti-oxidants that our bodies need.

Most fruits have very high concentration of one kind or another vitamin or mineral that our bodies so crave. When we regularly consume a variety of fruits, it provides the vitamins, minerals and enzymes our bodies need to keep it in its most optimum form.

God created our bodies to be self-building, self-repairing and self-rejuvenating. When we fail to nourish it with poor choices of food, when we are stressed, when we live an unhealthy lifestyle, and when we abuse our bodies by addiction or even because of the polluted air we inhale, the cells in our body start to deteriorate. This is when the ugly degenerative diseases surface.

And this is when fruits help. But why wait till it's too late? Start making wise choices now concerning your health. Choose to live healthy. But, if disease has already shown its ugly face, then fight it with the very "miracle foods" that God has given—fruits!


When you follow a healthy eating regimen,
a diet that is rich in nutrition coupled with
a healthy lifestyle, you can prevent
many diseases, or even reverse a condition.

The National Cancer Institute of the US has in recent years, been recommending five servings of fruits and vegetables daily. This recommendation was made based on their years of cancer research study on the abundance of nutrients found in fruits and vegetables that may not only prevent, but also remedy many ailments.

Researchers are continually searching and researching for chemicals in plants that can prevent and cure cancer. These plant chemicals, known as phytochemicals (or phytonutrient), along with vitamins, minerals and enzymes have been found to prevent or cure some of the most deadly diseases, as well as some of the more common diseases, like cold, allergies, asthma, arthritis, etc.

Most of these nutrients are known to be destroyed or removed by modern food processing techniques, including cooking. Thus, processed foods contain very little or almost none of the beneficial nutrients.

I hope you have been following me, because I promise you that it will definitely make a whole world of difference in your future choices for food. Choose only what's best for you, and your family ... God-given nutrition-loaded foods.

But Why Juice?

There are many good reasons why you should juice. I'm not advocating that you should juice all your fruits and vegetables. What I do suggest is that you drink juices regularly, on top of your intake of other fruits and vegetables. Here are only some of the reasons:

  • Juicing helps to "pre-digest" your food.
    As a result of our poor food choices over the years, most of us have bodies which have become weak in absorbing the nutrients that we need. Juicing "pre-digest" the fruits so that they are readily digested and assimilated before it gets eliminated from our body.

  • You will need one or two pounds of fruits daily to obtain the optimum level of nutrients needed for your body.
    By juicing, it allows you to accomplish this easily. You don't want to be eating so much fruits that it makes you sick of fruits. Moreover, this would violate the principle of regular food rotation and increase your chance of developing an allergy towards a certain kind of food. True, that our ancestors didn't have to eat/drink so much fruits and vegetables, but in their time, they didn't have to hassle with industrial chemicals, polluted environment and poor dietary nor poor lifestyles.

  • Juicing removes indigestible fiber
    The nutrients we are after, are trapped in indigestible fiber. For example, when you eat a carrot, you are only able to assimilate 1% of the beta-carotene. But wonder of wonders, when you juice, you are able to assimilate nearly 100% of the beta-carotene!

  • Easy digestion and assimilation
    Solid foods require many hours of digestion before any nutrient is made available to the cells. Juices are assimilated within 15 minutes of consumption, with very little effort on the part of the digestive system. Because in its liquid form, the enzymes are not wasted to fuel its own digestion. As a result, the body can quickly distribute the much needed enzymes to other parts of the body to heal, build, restore and repair.

  • Juices are cleansing
    Only with sufficient amount of nutrients in the fruits through juicing, can the juices be cleansing to the blood. Blood is life. By keeping our blood clean and loaded with nutrients, we can expect to live better and longer.

This can easily be achieved through juicing.



What Fruits To Juice

I suggest you get acquainted with the different health qualities of the variety of fruits listed on my healing foods list (the list is being constantly added).

I've chosen and listed some of the most healing fruits. Taken in rotation and regularly, they provide almost all the vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants that our bodies require to stay in top form. They are some of the best inner cleansing and purest food you can ever find.

Some of the fruits listed cannot be juiced but I've listed them because of their healthful virtues. These are the fruits you should be eating whole, on top of the juices from the juiceable fruits.

Bookmark this site and do come back frequently. This site is constantly being added to, the work is never finished. All these preparation on juicing knowledge is guiding us towards the final product ... the wonderful fresh juices.

If at this point you still don't like fruits, reread this page and understand what fruits can do for you. Read it again the third time, or the fourth time, if you must, and get the facts into your heart. I know that once you have done this, you will start to make an effort towards healthy living. Choose to live healthy.

If you are a beginner and not used to juicing, you may begin with the following common juices:

  • apple
  • carrot (root vegetable)
  • watermelon

These are the easiest to drink and to digest. They taste really flavorsome and are packed with purest cleansing virtues. Once you get the hang of it, you may add on any other fruits.

How Much Juice Can Be Taken Safely?

Once you understand the health benefits of fresh fruit juicing, you want to drink more and more. Just how much juice can be taken safely? Answer: as much as you can comfortably drink!! As long as you do not force yourself, you may drink away.

As a general guide, a beginner should start with one 8oz (or 250ml) glass a day and gradually increasing. Listen to your body and see if there is healing reactions that usually happen if you are new to healthy eating. Please read the important lessons first before you start.

When you do your own research on juicing, some sites will tell you to avoid fruit juices. In my opinion, it is fine to drink fruit juices in the morning for energy. Avoid juices in the evening as you don't want the sugar to stay "unused" due to inactivity in later part of the day. When done correctly, fruit juicing can give you a whole lot of benefits.

I have heard of a man with bowel cancer and could hardly eat anything. He went on a carrot juice diet for a year and ate almost nothing else. At the end of a year, his hospital report proved that he was absolutely free of the cancer!

While you are all excited about juices, please remember this: When you have no access to fresh juices, never ever opt for canned fruit juices. You might as well drink pure water than drinking canned fruit juices.

Commercially bottled or canned fruit juices are usually diluted with tap water and contain added sugar. They are not fresh and may have lost a large percentage of their potent nutrients. Most of these are packed with chemical additives and preservatives.

These chemical additives are not natural to your body and when consumed, are like foreign substances in your body which rob you of energy, affect your immune system defenses, and may even contribute to liver damage.
