Enzymes Vitamins and Minerals
A balanced diet should be composed of a variety of raw
vegetables. Emphasizing the fact that the vegetables should be
organic or the best of what is available. A variety of
vegetables assure the proper enzymes, vitamins and minerals.
Juices are the best way to reach the full amount of enzymes,
vitamins and minerals for the body's daily uses. Enzymes are the
key elements of nourishment to the body. The enzymes enable the
body to digest food and absorb it into the blood. For example,
some enzymes break down the protein, carbohydrate and fat
molecules of foods into smaller molecules; others assist in
passing these molecules from the intestines to the bloodstream
and yet, there are others using the molecules to build
structures of cellular constituents. The enzymes are in the
seeds, the sprouting part of the plant.
Replenishment is the law of life; if we do not eat we die.
Eating the wrong foods and not replenishing enzymes, vitamins
and minerals shorten life and one could suffer along the way.
There are some diseases, such as albinism, lack of normal
pigmentation in the skin and hair of a person, animal or
coloration of a plant, result from an enzyme deficiency. It is
necessary to use a trustworthy supplement to replenish enzymes
and nutrients.
Without knowing how fresh-raw vegetables and fruit juices work
in the body, one would think why not eat the vegetables and
fruits instead of juicing. Solid foods require digesting and
with juices, the body will not need to digest. Nourishment gets
to the cells and body tissues quickly.
There is no nourishment in fiber. Eating solid foods cause the
body hours to process. Extracting juice and setting the fiber
aside for later use, the body can receive nourishment
immediately and generate energy. Enzymes are responsible for
storage and release of energy.
Fiber is required even though there are no nutrients, when
eaten, raw the fiber acts as a broom in the intestines, sweeping
it clean. When food is cooked, fiber acts as a mop swabbing the
intestines leaving residue causing a build up. The colon becomes
sluggish, constipation, inflammation of colon, and other
disturbances can occur.
Before starting, different food regiments consult a health care
professional. Juicing vegetables and fruits gives the body an
avenue to digest and assimilate nutritional enzymes. The
digestive system uses little energy because juice requires
minimum digestion, saving energy. After a large meal, the body
slows down, because the energy is used to process the meal.
Raw vegetable juices are necessary as a supplement to every
diet. A raw food regiment without sufficient quantity and
variety can be equally deficient as cooked foods. A fresh raw
variety of organic vegetables supply the body with amino acids,
minerals, salts, enzymes, and vitamins. The quality of
vegetables has a bearing on the results.
