#### Does Juicing Work? And Where to Juice Near Montrose!

Incorporating plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables into your diet is good for you. Everyone knows that. Sometimes though, in today’s hectic lifestyle of grabbed meals and lunch on the go, it’s easier said than done. Juicing is a great way to put some natural goodness into your body without having to think too much about lifestyle changes, or drastically altering the way you feed yourself or your family.

#### Why Juice Is Good For You

Fruit and vegetables are packed with the vitamins and enzymes we need to stay healthy. In fact, around 95% are found in plant-based foods. Turning them into juice reduces their bulk, so you can get more vital goodness in one delicious drink. In fact, in one 16-ounce juice drink you get all the nutrition provided by 10 to 12 apples or around eight pounds of spinach. No matter how much you like apples, eating 10 to 12 in one sitting would be a challenge.

A healthy diet is vital for well-being, for several reasons:

- It fortifies the immune system, making us more resistant to germs and diseases
- It helps us build strong bones and teeth
- It puts a healthy glow in complexion
- It keeps internal organs functioning correctly

#### Can Juicing Help You Lose Weight?

The answer to this is both yes and no. Eating plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits is definitely healthier than a diet packed with hotdogs and donuts.

Fruits definitely have a calorie content, however, so if you’re using juicing as part of a weight loss strategy you need to be aware of how many calories your juice beverages contain and factor them into daily calorie allowances. Sweet fruit juices help satisfy a craving for sugar and provide more nutrients than refined sugar alone. Vegetable juices contain fewer calories, so if you’re counting they may be of more benefit. You can add an apple or kiwi to veggie juices for a little added sweetness.

Doctors don’t recommend that you try to lose weight by going on a juice-only diet as you may not get enough protein or fiber to stay healthy. Many juice machines remove the pulp from fruit and vegetables, and this is where the fiber is found. If you’re making your own juice at home in a blender, you can incorporate some of the pulp into the juice, or use it in other cooking.

Not everyone wants to spend time peeling and chopping that home, however. Happily, in Montrose, we are blessed with several businesses that make consuming healthy fruit and veg a piece of cake.

#### Juicy in the Sky

With each juice containing 8 to 10 servings of fruit and vegetables, you can be sure you’re getting lots of goodness in a relatively small package.
