How to obtain all the nutrients from Juices.

Everybody desires to live a long, healthy life. His efforts are always directed towards that goal.
In case he falls ill, he endeavours to get a speedy recovery from his illness. This expectation of
man can be realized and his efforts can meet with success through vegetable and fruit-juices.
But the important problem is how to get all the nutrients that are contained in fruit and
vegetable-juices, for the recovery from disease depends on the availability of all the nutrients
contained in fruit and vegetable juices.

Juices must always be fresh. Only fresh, live juices are effective for the cure of disease.
Carotene (which is converted into Vitamin' A') found in vegetables is very sensitive to oxygen in
the air, e.g., if carrots are shredded and kept unused for 20 to 25 minutes, most of their
vitamin' A' is oxidized. Similarly, if lemons, oranges, mozambiques and other citrus fruits which
contain vitamin 'C' are preserved for a month, about 40% of their vitamin 'C' is lost. Even a
refrigerator cannot prevent this loss.

These facts emphasize that fruits and vegetables should be fresh so that all their elements can
be obtained.

How to extract Juice from Fruits and Vegetables.

Fruits and vegetables should be washed, shredded or cut before extracting their juice. Then
immediately they should be put into the juicer for extracting juice. In case one wants to
extract juice without the help of a juicer, juice-extracting should be quick. This will save
juices from being oxidized and all their nutritional elements contained in them are preserved.

Rinds and fibres of fruits and vegetables are rich sources of vitamins. So while extracting juice
they should be properly crushed. However, care should be taken that juice ready for drinking
does not contain fibre or rind. Juice-diet aims at getting the maximum live elements with the
minimum labour by the digestive system.

To get the maximum benefits from the juices of fruits and vegetables, they must be taken
fresh. Preserved juices lose their precious nutrients. It is not advisable to extract at a time
the juice required for the whole day. Extract juice when required to drink.

There is a special method for drinking juice. It should not be gulped. It should be drunk slowly
with a spoon or with small draughts. By this process juice gets mixed with the saliva. The
digestive juices which the saliva contains help to digest sugar contained in juice. Thus, the
juice which goes into the stomach is then digested within 20 to 25 minutes.

When juices are consumed for the purpose of health -or cure of disease, do not add sugar,
pepper or salt for taste or liking. The addition of condiments to juice is injurious to health.
Furthermore, these condiments adversely affect the precious nutrients of juices. If you dislike
the taste of the juice of one of the vegetables, you can add some lemon juice or any
fruit-juice to it.
