Do you like to take care of your health? Do you listen to nutrition advice and actually implement it? Are you looking for better ways to integrate fresh, organic and local raw fruits and vegetables into your diet? Me, too! And I wonder if you can relate to the following about my own experiences.
Although I haven't ever had any major health problems, I believe that diet and exercise play a critical role in helping us maintain our well being and increase our longevity. In truth, I started working out in 6th grade, after my father thought it would be good for us all to get in better shape.
Since then, I have played sports in school and have always been active, kept my weight in line, and received a good health check from the doctor. In fact, I thought I was doing pretty darn well.
But now I've started reading a book called "The China Study" which is actually making me reconsider the "diet" portion of the "good health" equation and question whether I am on the right path to better health.
According to the China Study, which is an excellent, readable research-based book citing over seven hundred systematic studies, animal protein, including eggs, milk and animal protein isn't the panacea for good health and muscle-growth that we've all been taught. I was totally shocked to learn that skim milk isn't a super-food when it comes to robust bones, teeth and muscles. Basically, the writer is forced to conclude that - much to his dissatisfaction since he grew up on a dairy farm - a diet free from animal protein is truly optimal for augmenting our health and reducing the signs of aging.
The China Study book recommends a vegan diet loaded in unprocessed plant-based foods.
Many advocates to this philosophy take this approach a step further and focus on eating raw plant foods, forgoing foods like rice, barley, pasta, etc. These raw food advocates believe that we preserve and ingest the most nutrition in our foods when we don't prepare them by cooking them.
One of the hardest issues to deal with when preparing and eating lots of plants is that it can just plain take a particularly long time. Cutting, washing, for example is definitely a laborious process. Especially after you begin to have a look at incorporating plants like lettuce, spinach, kale, and celery - which seem especially tedious to wash and dry. We need them, though: greens that are important to our growth.
That's where a powerful juicer can solve your issues. Making juice out of your fruits and fruit with the Breville Juice Fountain Elite is a good way to combine your fruits and fruit into a fresh, nutritious and mouth watering drink which may guarantee you get all the nourishment you want, even if you are on the go.
Consider mouth-watering juice recipes like apple-cinnamon cider, carrot juice with ginger, or perhaps your own version of V-8. Green smoothies made with bananas and spinach are a favourite raw-food vegan classic - the fruit is cheap, the taste is great and it's vitamin-packed!
If you have a regular blender (for making margaritas!), or perhaps a name-brand juicer like Jack LaLanne's from TV, you can find that they do not hold up to regular juicing, they're tough juicing, they are tough to use because they are under powered, or they just don't clean-up well.
The Breville Juice Fountain Elite solves all these problems. It is German-engineered to be a top-of the line juicer for people who make juice every day and need a quick-and-simple way to make their juice. In fact, you can produce an 8-oz cup of juice in under five seconds and because the juicer takes Enormous bits of apple, carrot and other hard fruits - you don't have to do much cutting. THe juicer even does a pleasant job with leafy or stringy products like lettuce and celery. Including vegetables like this in your juice will truly increase their nutritional value.
If you're ready to make some changes in your diet - commence with including more fruits and veg. Like the Omnivore's Dilemma recommends - Eat Food. Not Too Much. Mostly Plants.
Start your program for better health and nutrition with tasty juice from local organic produce made with the Breville Juice Fountain Elite.
