There is an on-going debate about which is better for you if you're looking for Immunity, energy, fordetoxing after binging and to jumpstart your healthy weight loss: Juicing or blending. Here, Nadja Pinnavaia, founder of Plantable plant-basedmeal delivery, explains how to make the perfect green juice, and why she believes the benefits of juicing outweighblendingto deliver healthy nutrients and detoxifying benefits to your body. Pinnavaia, who has a Ph.D. in quantum chemistry, started Plantable to give people control over their well-being. "It all starts with how we eat," she says.
The dilemma about juicing versus blending has been around for a while. Both juicing and blending are potent systems that give the digestive system a break and enhance the battle against inflammation and other chronic diseases. Also, both are perfect ways to pack vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants in a single glass [perfect for immunity]. But what are really the benefits of juicing, and what is behind the famous celery juice?
Juicers extract the pulp from the fruit and vegetables, leaving only the liquid.
As a result, thanks to the absence of these fibers, [the nutrients] will be more easily digested, allowing the digestive system to rest and focus its energy on getting rid of toxins.
Lately, celery juice has become controversial, because some people claim that it can cure conditions like cancer, obesity, thyroid issues, and acne. Although none of these benefits have been proved, celery juice may provide several benefits when consumed as part of a healthy diet.
Therefore, although juicing and specificallycelery juice has its benefits, nothing is a magic fix. Juicing can contribute amazing beneficial properties as part of a plant-based whole food diet rich in fibers and nutrients.
For a simple and effective Celery Juice recipe, Try this one from The Beet.
Add to it anything plant-based and green, or low in sugar such as: Spinach, Kale, Apple, Cucumber, or a squeeze of lime juice for a kick of tart taste and a boost of Vitamin C.
