A friend of mine describes drinking freshly made fruit juices like this:
"If you have never taken a mouthful of cantaloupe juice or strawberry juice mixed with apple, you simply have not lived. Blueberry juice is a taste of liquid heaven."
Freshly made juices are a tremendous source of bio-available vitamins and minerals which are the partners of enzymes and co-enzymes. Vitamins
activate enzymes and without vitamins, enzymes could not carry out their work, and we could not live.
Enzymes act as catalysts in hundreds of thousands of chemical reactions that take place throughout your body, and are essential for digesting,
absorbing and converting food into body tissue. Enzymes produce energy at the cellular level and are critical for most of the metabolic activities taking place in your body every second of every day.
Another benefit of drinking fresh juices and smoothies is that your body can absorb MORE of the vitamins and minerals than if you were to eat the fruits and vegetables whole! Many of the nutrients are TRAPPED in the fiber and by blending fruits and vegetables, you break down the fiber and release the
vital nutrients.
Example:
When you eat a raw carrot, you are only able to assimilate a small
percentage of the available beta carotene. When a carrot is juiced,
removing the fiber, a LARGE percentage of the beta carotene can be
assimilated by your body.
Of course, you still need to eat whole produce because fiber is also an
important part of your daily diet.
Meeting you or your children's need for energy and nutrients is essential for
good health. Children who do not meet their needs for energy may stop
growing and gaining weight. In severe situations, they can develop a
condition which is life threatening called protein energy malnutrition.
Vitamins and minerals are only required in very small amounts, but a diet
insufficient in these can cause SEVERE deficiency diseases.
You may be showing signs of malnutrition if you ...
~ feel tired and weak.
~ feel like you never have the energy to clean your home, make meals or even do the dishes.
~ have difficulty losing or gaining weight.
~ can't easily get to sleep.
~ feel stressed and/or nervous.
~ feel drowsy during the day.
~ sometimes can't concentrate, you're mind feels numb, or you get confused easily.
~ have problems with your digestion.
~ have constipation and/or hard dry stools.
~ have mood swings, or get easily upset.
~ sometimes feel depressed.
~ have overly dry or oily skin.
~ sometimes have nausea and/or abdominal pain.
~ have annoying eye twitches.
~ bruise easily.
~ have muscle cramps and/or low back pain.
~ sometimes get cracks and sores in the corners of your mouth.
~ notice that your nails have become thin and/or brittle.
~ are losing your hair.
~ have water retention.
~ have uncontrollable temper outbursts.
~ don't eat a well-balanced nutritious diet EVERY DAY
Natural vitamins are found only in living things, that is, plants and animals.
Your body, with a few exceptions, can't manufacture vitamins. They must
be supplied in your food or in dietary supplements but supplements can't
replace food, especially fruits and vegetables which provide thousands of
substances, some of which have well-known functions, and some whose
roles in the human body are not yet understood or recognized.
When it comes to choosing a healthy diet for their children, many parents
don't realize the important role that beverages play. For example, fruit
flavored drinks and soft drinks are not a substitute for real fruit. Many of
these drinks only contain 10% real fruit juice. The very best drinks are
made from whole fruit and you can make great fruity healthy drinks at
home.
One of the very best ways to make sure your family is eating healthy and living the simplest diet 4 ever to maintain their ideal body weight and energy is to supplement their daily meals with vitamins and mineral supplements.

HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE FRUIT AND VEGETABLE JUICES
1. You'll need an inexpensive juice machine.2. All fruits and vegetables should be juiced raw.
3. Small seeded fruit, such as watermelon and pears, may be juiced with their seeds with the exception of papaya and apple seeds. Orange and grapefruit seeds might impart a bitter taste to your juice. Remove the large pits from fruits like peaches and nectarines, etc.
4. Peel all fruits and vegetables that are not organically grown because the peel is where most of the chemical residues can be found. While most skins of organically grown fruits and vegetables may be left on, with the exception of waxed produce, the skins of pineapples, kiwis, oranges, grapefruits and papaya should be removed.
5. Choose fresh ripe produce. Rubbery vegetables, bruised fruit, wilted greens and over or under-ripe fruits will produce juices that are neither tasty nor healthful.
6. Cut the fruits or vegetables into pieces that will fit into the mouth of your juice machine. Turn the juice machine on and push the pieces through the mouth of the juicer. As you juice, pulp will collect in a large receptacle. If you don't clean the pulp out right away, it will develop a sour odor and tiny gnats and fruit flies may appear after 8 to 10 hours.
7. It is best to drink freshly made juices within one day.

New Did you know? Random Facts
What is the difference between health and wellness
What is the difference between wellness and dynamic wellness?
A lot of people look at the information about nutrition and how the body breaks food down and absorbs it through the villi, putting it into the blood stream to deliver it to their cells and say, "That just makes sense".There is a big step though from knowing how the body does this to understanding that each of us needs to be taking some personal action to give our bodies what they need for optimum performance.
Once upon a time vegetables were grown in your garden and animals grew up in fields. I say "once upon a time" but it is only 40 or 50 years ago that this was basically true.
Now we find that vegetables are grown in depleted and often contaminated soils. They are nurtured with chemicals to get best production but the trace elements that are so important to our long term health are not in the soils to begin with and son the plants cannot put them into the vegetables and fruit that we buy.
It is a difficult place to begin the food chain.
How does your body react when you put it under stress? How well can it stand outside pressures, and all the damaging things modern society throws at us every day, is directly related to our level of wellness. If we have dynamic health, if we have a reserve of energy and strength and our body is not working flat out just to keep us going then we can withstand problems much better<
Having enough energy to be able to get up and do your daily tasks with enough energy to do them easily it a much better way to live. Life is more interesting and you have the capacity to go beyond your normal routine and meet a friend for a drink or get to the library for a book or to get that extra job done around the house. Life is much more pleasant when you have enough energy to do normal things without having to push yourself.
If you wake up tired, have lower concentration in the middle of the afternoon, if you are not doing exercise because you are just too tired to organize it then the story above may well be talking about you.
Look at what is happening in today's world. Food that is high in fat and sugar, low in fiber and proteins. Food that has been grown in depleted soils, picked green, has passed through and extended storage and shipping process that has left it lacking in nutritional value even if it has not been further processes.
Processed foods are full of chemicals, fats and sugars and low in everything we need to maintain a healthy system. Add to this the problem that is so common of energetically impaired villi and we are literally starving our bodies.
We eat more and more and absorb less and less value from what we eat.
People are literally starving in the midst of plenty.
This is why "quick fix" weight loss diets have very little value. You can learn more here about how your body compensates in lean (dieting) times and then over-compensates even more when the body can once again access normal foods again. This article clearly explains why you need to find more healthy ways to lose weight and keep it off so that you don't fall into the yo-yo dieting trap.
Cell nutrition for Athletes & Professional Sports people
What would happen if you supplied your car with crude oil to run on instead of petrol, and then only allowed it 10% of what it needs? I don't think you would get far. Reality is we spend more time, effort and money on our cars than we do on our own bodies.
That is why most people in this society do not enjoy dynamic health. That is why lethal disease states are on the increase. That is why we need to find a way to get dynamic nutrition into your body in a form it can readily assimilate and use at a cellular level.
As was stated earlier, an understanding of cell nutrition is one of the greatest breakthroughs in nutritional science ever. It provides the ground work to perform a number of critical functions, and ensures that your body receives the correct nutrition on a daily basis.
The answer to the problem
A complete nutritional program to perform all of these functions exists. Developed by a team of the best of the world's nutritional scientists, the program combines the 6,000 years of Eastern herbal science with the best of current Western nutritional science.
Providing essential protein, carbohydrates, essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, fiber and herbal micro-nutrients, the program provides the balanced components to allow all nutrients to be absorbed and utilised effectively.
The cells energy system works properly. Their ability to reproduce and replace worn cells is enhanced. The cells of the nervous system have all the resources to function correctly. And all of this applies to all tissues and organs of the body, the skin, essential organs, cardiovascular system, bones and muscles.
We are not saying that cellular nutrition repairs major diseases or 'cures' anything. It just makes sense that if you provide the body with everything it needs to function correctly, then your quality of wellness and health must improve accordingly.
Cell nutrition consists of a basic nutritional program which provides 100% of the body's daily nutritional requirements. It is supplied in a number of formulations, which when used together, provide this total program. Use of individual components can be varied to provide targeted programs for optimum health, weight gain or weight loss.
Additional products are available which are targeted to the cardiovascular system, the bones and nervous system, the muscle system, the gastrointestinal and immune system, and young children. Virtually every age group, activity patterns and health level are catered for.
Studies show that those engaged in intense training or activities are required to take in more protein than the recommended daily amount in order to maintain protein balance.
Insufficient amounts of protein could lead to a negative nitrogen balance. This in turn can increase the protein metabolism and promote slow recovery.
In the long run, insufficient protein in the body could lead to training intolerance and lean muscle wasting. Aside from increasing the servings of protein-rich food, one can also drink protein shakes, bars and other protein-concentrated food.
