Whenever one thinks of weight loss one thinks of the following aspects:
1. What should I eat?
2. How much should I eat?
3. Will I get the necessary nutrients required for proper functioning of my body?
4. Will it harm my health in any way?
There is one solution which has very less side-effects and which is actually recommended by many nutritionists – A JUICE DIET!
What is a juice diet and what are it’s benefits:You can say that you are following a juice diet if you drink pure juices of important fruits and vegetables instead of cooking them. Usually, a juice diet is to be carried out for a few days till your system feels refreshed and ready to begin anew. Let us take a look at the benefits of a juice diet:
1. All the healthy and essential vitamins, minerals and other nutrients in proper amounts are being provided to your body
2. Intake of essential nutrients instead of consuming harmful junk food
3. Detoxification of the entire body
4. Strengthening of the immune system, regulates the metabolism and purifies the blood
5. Easier and convenient to drink juices rather than eating them cooked.
Even more easier and convenient to actually prepare the juices rather than cooking them. Which fruits and vegetables to consider for a juice diet:Let’s first take a look at some of the standard nutritional fruits and vegetables which are a must in any juice diet:
i) Leafy green vegetables
ii) apples
iii) pearsi
v) cantaloupe
v) grapes
vi) grapefruit
vii) oranges
viii)cabbage
ix) collards
x) lettucex
i) wheat grass
xii) watercress
You may even add some healthy oils like olive oil or walnut oil to add some healthy fat to your juices. In addition to these you may add fruits and vegetables which you love, for example strawberries, mangoes, bananas, etc..Let’s take a look at some juice diet recipes now:
1. ORANGE + CARROT
Orange and carrot are almost similar in colour and have a great effect on the taste buds when mixed together. Both complement each other in terms on nutrients, i.e. one provides the nutrients which the other lacks.
2. APPLE + CUCUMBER JUICE
It is one of the most effective drinks if you are looking to detoxify your system. If you don’t like the combination you could just take them separately but this is one of the most recommended juices for detoxification so be sure to have it regularly.
3. . MANGO + GRAPE + WATERMELON JUICE
This is one of the most delicious as well as one of the most healthiest juice combination you can make. Together with all the nutrients amongst them, they make a very healthy trio.
4. CELERY + TOMATO + WATERMELON JUICE
This juice is very good for the vital organs of your body and it also serves as an effective digestive tonic
5. BANANA + STRAWBERRY JUICE
This has to be one of the most loved juices out there! You can also add some milk to increase the nutritive value.It is also healthy to add the pulp back into the juice after you prepare the juice since you do require the fiber that these pulps contain.
