Why You SHOULD Do Green Juicing
Juicing allows the digestive track to absorb nutrients faster into the bloodstream and allows more concentration of vitamins & nutrients to enter the body at one time. Green juices particularly boost antioxidant levels and strengthen your immune system. Always add a citric acid (lemons/limes) to the green juice to cut the sugar level from other fruit & vegetables. ***

***For a green juice, you can add anything you want, and to get the most benefit
from the juice you must always be aware to keep the 80/20 ratio in mind when
mixing ingredients. 80% green veggies, 20% fruit. As you get used to juicing, your
ratios can go higher for veggies & less fruit
