Health Benefits of Adding Juice to Your Routine

Juicing can sometimes put people off doing it for a number of different reasons. You buy 
a lot more produce than usually, it takes a bit more time commitment, and can be a little 
scary trying something new. But there are so many more health benefits when you add 
juicing to your regular routine.


Nutrients and Recommended Fruits and Veggies

Most people tend to fall behind on the recommended 3-5 servings of fruits and 
vegetables every day, especially if you lead a busy lifestyle or don’t enjoy shopping and 
cooking your own meals. With juicing, you are using a lot of fruits and vegetables in 
your juice, which encourages you to get a lot of the nutrients you would from consuming 
these foods, all from drinking the juice. Most parts of each type of produce is used in the 
juice, so you also get juice from skins and rinds in many cases.


You Don’t Have to Chew as Much

Have you ever tried to make a salad with enough servings of vegetables? It is a lot of 
food, and a lot of chewing. This can take time, might be harder on your stomach 
digesting all that fiber in its raw form, and puts your jaw to work. Whether you have 
sensitive teeth, or just don’t feel like going through all the chewing, juice can be a great 
alternative for you.


You Can Make it Beforehand for On-the-Go

Another excellent benefit to juicing is that it is easy to have a big meal prepping day 
when you make all your juice for the next several days in one go. You can store them in 
large mason jars for the refrigerator, which helps keep your juice fresh.  You will have 
them ready to grab and go on busy mornings, or in the afternoon when you need a little 
pick me up. 


It Helps Increase Your Hydration

Many of the fruits and vegetables you use for juice are made up primarily of water. By 
drinking juice you have made at home, there aren’t any hidden ingredients or 
preservatives, no added sugar, but lots of water in its freshest form. Make juice with 
veggies like cucumber and celery to really increase the water content of your juice. This 
takes it one step above flavored water, where you get more nutrients from the veggies, 
but with the same amount of hydration benefits.
