Juicing 101

I started juicing a few months ago (after trying out Nuli juice) and it’s the best thing ever! There’s a difference in my skin appearance, and I have more energy for day to day activates- before juicing I used to get exhausted very easily

What is juicing?

Juicing involves a process where the natural liquids, vitamins, and minerals are extracted from raw fruits and vegetables, this process strips away any solid matter from the fruits and vegetables and you’re left with liquid only.

This liquid isn’t just any hydrating liquid; it’s loaded with the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, anti-inflammatory compounds, and phytonutrients all in one easy to sip drink. I love juicing for obtaining quick energy, whereas many of you may think coffee or caffeine is a quick fix, an even quicker way to fuel your body with all natural and long-lasting energy is with raw fruit and vegetable juices.
