Here’s to Your Health with Juicing!

During the last several years, juicers have replaced blenders on many kitchen counters. And for a nation that spends billions a year in fast food restaurants, that’s a very good thing indeed!

Juicer

Juicing is a super “scrub” for your insides, reaching all the way down to the cellular level, in a way no other cleanser can. It can also boost the immune system and provides energy to the body.

Other health benefits of specific juices...
  • Liver and blood cleansing from juicing beets and apples

  • Better kidney functioning, lowered blood pressure, and improved skin appearance from juicing cucumbers

  • Improved kidney function from juicing cranberries

  • Relief from joint stiffness and ulcer repair from juicing cabbage

Start with the vegetables you like un-juiced; remember you can eat the pulp as a great source of additional fiber. The darker green the vegetable, the better it is for you, even though it takes some getting used to! Most people love carrot juice, but beware—it’s full of natural sugars, as are most vegetables that grow underground, and can wreak havoc on insulin levels.

You can add fats and proteins to your juice for increased nutritional value. Pumpkin or flax seeds, garlic and cod liver oil or fish oil are excellent sources of fat and protein. There are other add-ins, such as coconut, lemons and ginger that will make your juice more palatable and give it some interesting flavor.

Make sure you start with quality organic produce – the juice is only as good for you as what goes into it to start. Drink the juice immediately after juicing as it loses its nutritional value quickly and is perishable. And be sure to thoroughly clean your juicer to prevent mold from accumulating in it.

Dr. Victor Asks some important questions of interest to Mississauga residents - Chiropractor Mississauga Dr. Victor Asks...

Can subluxations clear up on their own?
Sometimes. Today's hectic lifestyles can be a constant source of subluxations. Fortunately, our bodies have the ability to self-correct many of these minor problems as we bend and stretch, or when we sleep at night. When subluxations don't resolve, you need to see our Mississauga office for chiropractic care!
What's the difference between a "good" drug and a "bad" drug?
As a chiropractor, I see the use of drugs (legal or illegal) as merely symptom treating. Worse, virtually every drug produces unwanted effects. The only effects of chiropractic are positive effects. If you're a Mississauga parent, consider carefully before giving your child a cough medication, cold remedy or pain reliever so this sort of question doesn't arise in the first place.
