With those things, how can you not afford to juice? You may be asking yourself why not eat instead of juice?
1. You probably will not eat enough vegetables and fruits to obtain all the nutrients your body needs. You might try, but the truth is our lifestyles are so different that we just don't do what we know we should do.

2. The USDA, National Cancer Institute, Surgeon General, and other health agencies are recommending that we eat nine ½ cup servings per day of produce!! There is a lot of 'goodness' locked in the fiber of produce, all of which is expelled from the body when eaten as 'food'. When produce is juiced, this goodness is 'released' from the fiber.

Drinking the juice, this highly concentrated cocktail of nutrients enters our bloodstream very quickly, with very little required from the digestive system. However, you do need to eat some produce and whole grains, because your body does need fiber to keep it moving, maintain a healthy cholesterol, and several other functions. If you do your own juicing, you can avoid many of the canned or bottled juices pitfalls. For example nutrients are lost when canned products are heated, nutrients are lost through oxidation when not consumed quickly, and additives are usually added.
