Fruit and vegetable juices are the cleansers, energizers, builders, and regenerators of the human system. Specifically, fruits are our cleansers and energizers and vegetable juices are our builders, and regenerators. Freshly extracted fruit or vegetable juices will supply all the enzymes, vitamins, minerals, protein, and some fats critical to increased vitality! Adding live juices to one’s diet as a daily routine, many claim brings them a rejuvenating effect and help the disorders such as obesity, cancer, leukemia, arthritis, high blood pressure, kidney disorders, skin infections, liver disorders, alcoholism, and smoking. Supplying the body with easily absorbable nutrients, so that anybody, even with compromised immune sytems or assimilation challenges, juicing penetrates into our intestinal walls, making assimilation almost immediate. This is because when you juice freshly made fruit or vegetable juices, they are 100% pre-digested. For the elderly, fresh vegetable and fruit juicing is essential!As we age, our assimilation factors decrease due to digestive weaknesses and illnesses we incur as we grow older. Some say that as we reach the age of 70 years old, most of us can only absorb 20% of the nutrients we consume through eating. Not so with juicing. No matter the age, juicing is 100% absorbable.
For most health conditions, juice fasting is the best method to transform health quickly and effectively, no matter our age. However, as we age, we are also more susceptible to detoxification symptoms as we start to juice more and more power juices such as greens, carrots, beets, etc.,.
This is why combining these vegetables helps ease some of these symptoms when we add neutral fruits to the mix such as apples.
Through juicing at least 1 quart of power juices daily, thousands of individuals have claimed they have experienced major relief from serious diseases such as cancer, leukemia, arthritis, high blood pressure, kidney disorders, skin infections, liver disorders, obesity, alcoholism and even smoking. Because juice fasting quickly and efficiently removes toxins and excess fatty tissue while supplying a full spectrum of nutrients, (such as antioxidants, phytochemicals, vitamins, minearls, enzymes and micronutrients), it has an advantage over any weight-loss program. Juicing literally –nourishes every cell of our body and floods the body with nutrients that energize the body’s natural regenerative abilities.

Jay,
What fruits can be mixed with vegetables besides apples? I noticed that you include limes in this recipe with vegetables. Since limes are citrus fruits, does that mean veggies are also compatible with lemons, grapefruit, oranges and tangerines? What’s more, in your first book, you mentioned that tomatoes are only compatible with celery and cucumber–is this still the case? I just want to make sure I am not mixing the wrong produce together.
All the best,
Ryan
I noticed this recipe calls for the lime WITH the skin, I’ve always been told that the only citrus fruit that can be used with the skin is the lemon. Just wanted to make sure I was understanding it right.
Thanks for the great recipes.
Limes and Lemons are the only ones that should be juiced with the skin. The other citrus fruits have an oil in their skin that is indigestable and should at all cost be avoided.
Hello Jay and Linda,
A very beloved friend of mine, many years back worked with you, along with her twin sister. Her name is Melanie Epperly, and I just want to say that she has many times shared her love and gratitude for all she learned during the time she traveled with your team selling The Juice Man. She is still an avid juicer, and I juice as well. I have been inspired by her and a couple of others I know — and I can say juicing makes all the difference in my world! I have gone without it at times, and it quickly reminds me of what is important for me to do to keep my world vibrating and healthy. Thanks so much for your years of wisdom and inspiration. Amy
Jay, How much time do you recommend waiting between consuming fruit and vegetable juices?
Thanks for all the invaluable info in your book “Live Foods Live Bodies”. My wife and I love our new juicer!!!!
Regards, John
Hi
Please can you suggest best specific ingredients for juicing for detoxing an alcoholic
Wow, this all-encompassing article is inspirational, especially for ‘newbies’ full of questions re the benefits of Juicing. The ‘weight loss’ aspect for a lot of folks interested in shedding a few pounds makes Juicing worth a try. Once the ‘light bulb’ goes ‘on’ for people to see the differences between Juicing and blending/emulsifying, combined with the knowledge of how our body digests food, they can update their long standing ideas of what ‘real food’ really is. Since I’ve been Juicing, my grocery shopping is so easy–I go straight to the Organics Section of my local grocer throughout the colder months and also the rest of the year. And I visit my outdoor Market on weekends throughout the warmer months of the year. I’m contemplating a backyard garden to plant some of my own ‘organics’. I might try one with ‘raised beds’ to make things easier on the lower back. Boy, the volume of informative articles in this Blog in the Category section is astounding! Juice on, Mr. ‘K’. ‘H’
