Why Juice?
Many people ask us, “Why don’t you just eat all those fruits and
vegetables rather than juicing them?” Our simple answer is, “Because
we don’t!” If you eat several pounds of fruits and vegetables each week,
then we commend you and you can skip this section. But, for most
people, getting all those important nutrients into their diet is a challenge
and can also be costly if using the wrong equipment.
Juicing provides an easy way to supercharge your diet with the essential
vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and live enzymes that are present in
fruits and vegetables without having to eat all of the food itself. This
supercharging allows your body to heal itself quicker, boost up the
immune system, provide extra energy, and detoxify itself. Even the pulp
that results from juicing can be added back into your diet, increasing
your fiber intake.
If we all just replace one sugary drink per day with a glass of fresh juice,
or replace the preservative-filled ice cream with a tub of natural
home-made ice cream, or sneak in some carrot and soy pulp into our
kids’ sloppy joes, we would be making a big difference in our health. It’s
simple, fun, and just plain good for you!

“Juicing is a truly simple, foolproof way to increase
the micronutrient density of one's diet. I encourage
my clients to be inspired by whatever is fresh and in
season. Just cut it up and drop it in. The results are
bound to taste great and to be packed with vitamins,
minerals, antioxidants and accessory phytonutrients.”
