Now known as a very huge trend among the health-conscious, juicing is sure to become popular again in discussions over social media posts and gym talks now that summer is fast approaching. While we’ve all known the philosophy behind this method long before it became a craze, many people have come to believe that since there are experts coming up with better juices, it is suitable to ride the wave.
A plethora of self-help books have hit the stands, lots of television segments showing proper methods of juicing and we just can’t stop sharing the good news to each other. Furthermore, if you’re one of the remaining few who don’t really care about juicing, read on and you might just be converted.
One of the main reasons why juicing immediately stretched its influence is the promise of weight loss. Dieticians, nutritionists and medical practitioners have shown blatant support for this fad as it involves ingredients that are natural and harmless if consumed in its most original state. How juicing aids weight loss has been summed up to three core reasons which are calorie reduction, detoxification and increased intake of fiber.
It has been said that juicing allows people to have better intake of numerous fruits and vegetables without the hassle of compromising the taste. Also, since the fruits are not given any special treatment aside from extracting their juicy contents, antibodies, vitamins and minerals are harnessed in their best state, resulting to better metabolism and smooth digestion.
Studies have also shown that juicing involves not only drinking, but also using fruits and vegetables in our soups, stocks and recipes.
They say that all fruits and vegetables are eligible for juicing but few stand above the rest. It has been shown that the orange is the most juiced fruit, comprising a whopping percentage of 80.50% from the respondents of a recent survey. Following oranges are apples (56%), carrots (46.50%), pineapples (27%), shockingly, celery at 25.2% and tomatoes at 18.9%.
Canadians are the most prolific juicers who consume 13.9 gallons of produce per year individually. The Unites States follows with 11.3 gallons, then Germany (10.2), Austria (9.8), Sweden (9.4), Australia (9.1), Finland (8.7), the United Kingdom (7.7), the Netherlands (7.4) and New Zealand (6.6).
As mentioned, the wonders of juicing didn’t just pop up out of nowhere as there are certain rituals in Korea which made use of green juices during ceremonial rites and burials dating back by more than two thousand years. Also, juicing has been used by old civilizations not for losing weight, but for treating illnesses as herbal medicine.
Since the human race knows no bounds in innovation, juicing can now be processed through three methods such as centrifugal, masticating and triturating.
