The benefit of juicing is shown by leading health centres around the world, such as the Gerson Institute and the Hippocrates Health Institute who are using juice therapy in the treatment of life threatening diseases.

This is because fresh (particularly organic) juice provides us with large doses of minerals, vitamins, essential fatty acids, carbohydrates, proteins and much more. All of these factors are vital to maintaining good health.
The Hippocrates Health Institute is renowned as the home of wheatgrass - founded by Anne Wigmore and Viktoras Kulvinskas. The Institute is currently under the leadership of Dr. Brian Clement.

Although eating fruits and vegetables in their natural state does provide us with a substantial amount of vitamins and minerals, we only obtain the maximum benefits from them when they are juiced. Much of their goodness is locked in the fibres, which are expelled from the body. When we juice the fruits and vegetables, their goodness is released from the fibres and we are able to drink the highly concentrated nutrients which are then able to enter our bloodstream very quickly.

Very few people eat enough raw fruits and vegetables. Juicing provides a quick and easy way to increase your consumption of these foods, and is recommended in addition to a high fibre diet.
