Juicing is an official term by which we take a fruit or preferably a vegetable, and we put it through a machine that extracts the nutrients from the plant into the juice, and separates the juice from the fibre, which is the non nutritive part. Juicing is very, very important, especially for people who need to regain their health, because the phytonutrients (natural plant chemicals that are in the juice), the enzymes, the minerals, and the alkalinity in the juice will go right into the bloodstream within 18 minutes. This is extremely healing. If we have the vegetable with fibre; we certainly know that fibre is important, but the absorption is going to be much less efficient. We can't begin to get the kind of quantity of concentrated nutrients that we can get in the juice, and we have to burden the digestive system with the effort to separate the juice from the fibre.
