Juicing

Juicing, and the benefits of a juicing program, have long been recognized around the world. Since the early part of this century, researchers such as Norman Walker, D.Sc., and Bernard Jensen, D.C., Ph.D., have investigated the effects of juice as part of the daily diet. Their studies show that juice can provide all the basics of human nutrition, including carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals.

Fresh fruit and vegetable juices are rich in enzymes. Enzymes spark the hundreds of thousands of chemical reactions that occur throughout the body; enzymes are essential for the digestion and absorption of food, for the conversion of food stuffs into body tissue, and for the production of energy at the cellular level. In fact, enzymes are essential for most of the building and rebuilding that goes on in the body every day. When foods are cooked, enzymes can be destroyed; that is why raw foods and juices are so important to us. They provide us with an excellent source of all-important enzymes.

^AIMBarleyLife — a green vegetable juice

Before green grasses undergo the reproductive cycle that creates the grains, they are in the grass stage, and the grasses contain about the same vitamins and minerals as dark green vegetables. When grasses are harvested at a young age, they have a different chemical makeup from their adult counterparts.

Young barley grass contains a wide spectrum of nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, chlorophyll, and alkalizing substances. When these grasses are juiced and concentrated, as in ^AIMBarleyLife, they are far superior nutritionally. For example, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Nutrient Database, barley contains 22 International Units (IUs) of vitamin A per 100g and barley flour contains no vitamin A. ^AIMBarleyLife, however, contains 19,700 IU of vitamin A per 100g.

To use another example, barley contains 33mg of calcium per 100g and barley flour contains 32mg of calcium per 100g. ^AIMBarleyLife contains 730mg of calcium per 100g.

Research has found that green barley extract has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, immune system support, and cholesterol-lowering effects.

^AIMBarleyLife is produced in the clean, green, pristine lands of New Zealand and Canada where soil, water, and air is more rich and pure than in many places in the world.

^AIMJust Carrots — a carrot juice

It is well established that carrots are a healthy food. They contain many important nutrients — beta carotene and other carotenoids, B vitamins, vitamin C, the minerals calcium and potassium, and much more. Of all of these, it is beta carotene that traditionally has received the most attention.

Beta carotene is one of about 500 similar compounds called carotenoids that are present in many fruits and vegetables. The body changes beta carotene into vitamin A, which is important in strengthening the immune system and promoting healthy cell growth. However, beta carotene is much more than the precursor to vitamin A. Only so much beta carotene can be changed into vitamin A, and that which is not changed contributes to boosting the immune system and is also a potent antioxidant. Antioxidants fight free radicals and help prevent them from causing membrane damage, DNA mutation, and lipid (fat) oxidation, all of which may lead to many of the diseases that we consider "degenerative."

^AIMJust Carrots has one of the highest sources of natural beta carotene — up to 360* percent of the U.S. government's Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA). Drinking one glass of ^AIMJust Carrots provides you with 18,000 to 20,000* IUs of beta carotene. In addition to beta carotene, ^AIMJust Carrots contains vitamin C, calcium, and potassium. ^AIMJust Carrots is monitored for maximum nutrient levels. A single serving of ^AIMJust Carrots crystals contains 40* calories; a single serving of caplets contains 25* calories.

The carrots used in ^AIMJust Carrots are residue-free, ensuring that you will not be getting harmful toxins. A special process is used to produce ^AIMJust Carrots, which ensures that nutrients and enzymes remain active. This process does not use additives, sweeteners, fillers, or artificial ingredients. The caplets contain a small amount of inert binders to hold them together.

* These figures vary depending on variations in carrot crops due to climate, soil, and times of harvest.

^AIMRediBeets — a beet juice

What do beets provide us? One cup of raw beets is high in carbohydrates and low in fat. It contains phosphorus, sodium, magnesium, calcium, iron, and potassium, as well as vitamins A and C, niacin, folic acid, and biotin. Although these are not found in "RDA" quantities, we must remember that nutrients derived from a natural source may be "better" than those found in supplements, as they are found in an organic form. When these nutrients are captured in a juicing process, they remain in a form that is much easier to assimilate than synthetic nutrients. The iron in beet juice, in particular, is noted for being much more easily assimilated than man-made forms of iron.

According to John Heinerman in the Encyclopedia of Healing Juices, beets (and beet juices) are a blood-building herb that detoxifies blood and renews it with minerals and natural sugars. The encyclopedia goes on to note that there may be substances in beets that aid circulation.

Other sources also speak highly of beets and beet juices. Dr. H.C.A. Vogel, in The Nature Doctor, states that beet juice contains betaine, which stimulates the function of liver cells and protects the liver and bile ducts. Norman Walker, D.Sc., in Fresh Vegetable and Fruit Juices, claims that beets build red corpuscles and add tone to blood.

An article in the February 27, 1996, issue of Cancer Letters reports on an animal study that shows that beetroot has a significant tumor-inhibiting effect. The abstract for the study says, "The combined findings suggest that beetroot ingestion can be one of the useful means to prevent cancer."

The half pound of beets used to make one teaspoon of ^AIMAIMRediBeets is residue-free, and the beets are processed in a state-of-the-art facility that separates the juice — and its valuable nutrients — from the plants' fiber. In this process, the beets are not subjected to high temperatures that may damage their nutrients.

As part of a regular juicing program, ^AIMRediBeets provides one of the most convenient ways to achieve an improved diet through regular consumption of vegetables.
