Real Juice is 100% Juice
"Drink 100 percent juice for the greatest nutritional benefit. As with fruits and vegetables, the more colorful the juice, the more nutrients it contains, which may help protect against some cancers, heart disease and other chronic health conditions."
- American Dietic Association
Vegetable juice is a great source of many nutrients, since vegetables are rich in literally thousands of substances that help to reduce the risk of heart disease as well as many of the most common cancers, such as prostate cancer, breast cancer, and colon cancer. These substances include phytochemicals, bioflavonoids, carotenoids, retinols, capsaicins, lycopene, geninstein, and many, many others.

The Incredible Impact of Fresh Juices |
Potent, delicious and the best and easiest way to boost your energy and stamina, fresh fruit and vegetable juices also dramatically strengthen your immune system. Fresh juices give you the living and bio-available enzymes and phytonutrients that nourish and revitalize every cell in your body. Since careful juicing frees the natural juices and their life-nurturing ingredients from the insoluble pulp of the produce, they’re in your bloodstream in a matter of minutes.
Here are some of the great attributes of fresh juices:
- Fresh juices are full of easily-absorbed proteins, carbohydrates, essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals.
- Fresh fruit and vegetable juices are rich in potassium and low in sodium. This balance plays an important role in cardiovascular health as well as cancer prevention.
- Juices have enzymes that are crucial for good digestion and the absorption of the nutrients in your food.
- Loaded with the powerful anti-oxidants known as carotenes, the juices from dark leafy green vegetables, red & purple and yellow-orange fruits and vegetables neutralize cancer-causing free radicals and promote longevity.
- Fresh cabbage juice has been shown to completely restore the gastrointestinal tract (even healing ulcers in 7 days in a study conducted at Stanford University). Cabbage juices are loaded with Vitamin C and calcium. In addition, they have more nutrients with demonstrated anti-cancer properties than any other vegetable family.
- The bromelain in pineapple juice improves joint health (reduces arthritis), prevents swelling after trauma, relieves sinusitis, reduces angina and reduces appetite.
- Apple-celery juice reduces inflammation and promotes calmness and restful sleep.
- Juices from alkaline vegetables including carrots, tomatoes, parsley, spinach, kale and celery detoxify the liver, kidneys, blood and muscle tissue of poisons that have been stored for years.
- Flavanoids, plant pigments that give us colors in fruits and flowers have anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, anti-viral, and anti-carcinogenic properties.
- Vision-sparing phytochemicals such as anthocyanins from berries, as well as lutein and zeaxanthin from dark leafy greens reduce oxidation of the eye.
- Berries, especially strawberries, are good sources of the anti-cancer compound ellagic acid. In one study, strawberries top the list of foods most linked to reduced cancer deaths.
- Cantaloupe contains adenosine which thins the blood and relieves angina.
- Cucumber juice is rich in silica which improves the strength of connective tissue including muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage and bone. It is also recommended for improvement of skin complexion, hair and nails.
- Juices impact everything from acne and anemia to high cholesterol and bladder infections; from bronchitis and canker sores to carpal tunnel and constipation; from ulcers to gallstones and glaucoma; from headaches and hypertension to indigestion and insomnia; from kidney stones and macular degeneration to menopause and morning sickness; from osteoporosis and prostate enlargement to psoriasis and ulcers; from varicose veins to water retention.
