Juicing both fruits and vegetables is great for our health but there are some distinct advantages to juicing vegetables. In fact, over doing it with the fruit juice may be counter productive due to its high sugar content. This is why many juicing enthusiast and health professionals recommend to keep fruit juice to a minimum. A general figure is to make about 80% of juice from vegetables.

Juicing vegetables has many distinct benefits. It is important to include them when performing a juice detox. By making juice that is 60-80% vegetables, you are ensuring adequate nutrition. Vegetables, especially the green ones help the body function properly due to their alkalinity. These alkaline vegetables help maintain the ph balance of the body at 7.3. This is a contrast to meats, dairy, sugars, and processed foods which are primarily acidic. Over acidity of the blood is associated with many illnesses and a weakened immune system. Drinking the juice of such vegetables ensures that the nutrition is absorbed quickly into the body. Some foods that are alkaline are cabbage, onions, peas, cucumbers, bell peppers.

Secondly, vegetables contain antioxidants. Again, many green vegetables have the highest content. Broccoli, spinach, carrots, and tomatoes are among the top ten choices to use for this benefit. Antioxidants protect cells from the damage of oxidation. Some of the effects of rapid oxidation include signs of aging such as wrinkles and the development of more serious diseases such as heart disease and cancer. Though oxidation is a natural process, we can slow the effects down with antioxidants.

These are just two of the benefits seen with the regular practice of drinking vegetable juice. The nutrients keep the body functioning smoothly and efficiently by eliminating the aforementioned toxic conditions of the body.
