By Deanne Shepard


When you want to get your body in shape quickly, safely, healthy and easy, you need to make sure to consume everything that it needs. It means that you get enough vitamins, minerals, fibers and other stuff needed for normal body functioning. If your previous attempts didn't get you anywhere, try juicing to lose weight and to improve your health at the same time.

Numerous types of vegetables lose most of their healthy substances when you cook them. And they really are full of valuable phytonutrients. You should consume them fresh, and some, such as kale, for example, don't have very appealing taste. This problem can be easily solved if you combine these veggies with sweet and tasty fruits.

Fruits are much more appealing, but they contain sugar. This sugar is called fructose, and it gives good energy, but it is still sugar. The good thing is that you can combine not so delicious veggies with your favorite fruits to create highly nutritious and tasty juices that will really speed up losing weight process and fill your body with energy.

Dark green broccoli, kale and spinach are loaded with minerals, vitamins and anti-oxidants. All fresh vegetables contain good phytonutrients, especially intensively colored ones. You cannot make a mistake if you choose carrots, red peppers or beets. You can also include parsley, celery and cucumbers, or any other good quality greens.

Beet is really a wonderful veggie. It is packed with iron and can be very useful for lowering body temperature, it lowers blood pressure and has great results in reducing inflammatory processes in your organism. It will reduce swelling, improve your circulation and boost your libido. It is very good for all people who exercise because it increases endurance. In short, it is advisable to include it in your juices.

Another great addition to your juices are carrots. They are tasty, sweet and really good for your skin and eyes as well. Combined with dark green veggies and fruits such as pineapple or grapefruit they will really speed up your process of losing weight. Apples are cheep and very useful addition to any recipe, as well as pears and citruses.

Another great thing about juicing is that it detoxifies your body simply and easily. One day of juicing, with at least five glasses of juice and a few glasses of cold water is great, but it would be even better if you could stay on this diet for at least three days. Some experts say it should last for one week, but some people find it too exhausting.

Of course, if you are determined to lose your excess weight quickly, you can try practicing this diet for a week or two. You could lose maybe ten pounds this way, or even considerably more, depending on your eating habits. It won't be easy, but it never is, but your body ill get what it needs and your skin will appreciate this approach.

When you achieve your perfect weight, you should consider maintaining it juicing once a week. Another good idea is to replace your dinner with freshly prepared vegetable juice, with some fruits added. Choose organically grown ones if you can.
