I agree with Sally, We are born with only so many enzymes in our system. All of the nasty chemicals in our environment, kill off many, leaving us with few. We can help ourselves by juicing vegetables such as leafy greens, and carrots. There are over 600 beneficial chemical processes in fresh, organic juice, such as carrots and apples juiced together. Enzymes such as L-Amino acid oxidase, Peroxidase, Amylase, so many more. Look up those three and you will get the idea. We, of course, need fiber in order for our digestive system to work. We also need enzymes, and, the 600 or so enzymes we get when we juice, we mega-dose ourselves, and, we are unable to purchase over the counter. So, we eat fiber rich foods, and we juice as well. That way we get the extra nutrition. It is very important that we wash the fruits and vegetables very well, especially the leafy greens and carrots, and that they be organic. Some of the top cancer treatment centers around the world, the patients consume 20 to 30 pounds of fresh, organic fruits and vegetables daily, in the form of juices. Replenishing the body with enzymes and protecting the cells with the antioxidants. If you must use a juicer, please place the juicer in your sink while juicing. The nickel in the stainless steel of the sink, will protect your abdomen from the non-ionizing radiation produced by the juicer, which is bad news. Best to have a healthy friend juice for you. The important thing is to drink the juice immediately, as the enzymes die off quickly from exposure to oxygen. You may want to try and consume, easy to digest foods such as, cooked squash and potatoes. Any gassy foods such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and cauliflower should be avoided.
