However, the use of fresh juice is not as simple as it seems. Here is what the experts on nutrition.
Avoid fruit juices. Fruits contain too much sugar, which can create a heavy burden on the hormonal system. The rise in energy levels very soon will be replaced by an energy crash. Fruit juice contributes to the rapid accumulation of fat as the body stores excess sugar in the liver and fat cells. If you suffer from diabetes or are struggling with your levels of insulin, it is especially dangerous juicy ripe fruit.

Some vitamins are more easily absorbed in juice form, for example, vitamin C and b, while others, such as A, E, K, it is best to pass through the process of full digestion. And some vegetables such as tomatoes, actually provide more nutritional value cooked. With that in mind, here are the fruits and vegetables which will not regret it: leafy greens (spinach, leaf Kale, Swiss chard, Kale), kiwi, papaya, grapefruit, red pepper, broccoli, strawberries, oranges, asparagus and garlic.
Chery Calbom – author of the book “the Big book of juices and green smoothies” – also endorsed the parsley, lower blood pressure beets (in combination with carrots or apples to improve the taste), anti-inflammatory ginger root, cucumber and lemons. Avoid overly soft or delicate fruits such as bananas (if you need potassium, use half) and peaches which can make your juice too thick and mushy.
Find your ideal mix. Warning: vegetable juice is not likely to immediately knock you off your feet with its taste, so you’ll have to experiment. Buy a variety of vegetables and fruits and play around with flavors. For example, start with two servings of greens, which can be bitter taste and balance some fruits. Then, experiment with proportions, adding Cayenne pepper or cinnamon as an extra flavoring if you want. Popular are combination of grapefruit, orange, Kale and cucumber and carrot-Apple-ginger mix.
