Believe it or not, juicing vegetables is a controversial topic among health-conscious people. Some people think juicing is fantastic, explaining how it’s a great nutritional asset. These people say juicing helps the body detoxify and receive the nutrients it’s lacking.
This is especially beneficial for those who don’t want to consume enough fresh produce throughout the day to get all their nutrients. It also allows for the combination of different ingredients, making it easier to reach the recommended daily intake.
However, others argue that juices are not good for health.
Brandon Kolar is a personal trainer and nutritionist in Boston. He falls into the second group. While he believes juicing is a great way to get antioxidants and make delicious concoctions, he explains that people who prefer juicing have bodies that function less well. He associates juicing with issues like muscle mass, metabolism, and fiber deficiency. (1)
If you tell this to Adam Harding-Jones, a 48-year-old Englishman, he will certainly ask you not to believe these last arguments.
“I feel much younger,” says the man who lost 70 kilos.
Juicing has changed his life, and it’s an understatement to say he’s grateful for all the improvements it’s brought to his health. Harding-Jones weighed 210 kilos and managed to lose 70 kilos in one year, thanks to his diet of fresh vegetable juices.
It was the world-famous documentary “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead” and his diagnosis of kidney failure that motivated him to change his eating habits without regret. (2)
