Since I've started juicing my headaches have gone away, I do not take naps, bloating is gone, hair looks and feels tons better and my energy is through the roof. I mix fruits and vegetables and I also eat one solid meal a day between 6-8:30pm. If that is bad for me, I'll take it!
Do you eat just the one meal at night and juice the rest of your meals?
Same here, its amazing, green juice(breakfast) and fruit and vege juice(lunch) one meal in the evening is all I need, I feel amazing
@@poochplace9511 Never felt better than when I was juicing. Do not juice as a meal replacement. Drink it as a supplement 20mins before eating.
That was spot-on... I give this big thumbs down
@@poochplace9511 I have no idea why I'm just getting this. I eat one solid meal in the evening and juice Morning and afternoon. You can also eat fruit and veggies along with. I have at times had a salad at lunch.
You guys are normally on point but sorry to say you was off with this one. Cold pressed juicing is one of the best things you can do to improve your health. I have a serious chronic illness that I was born with. I used to go into hospital up to 25 times a year and be taking up to 30 tablets a day. I started with a 14day juices cleanse and have continued juicing on a regular basis only with other dietary changes... I haven't been on hospital for over 5years and no longer take meds. I've also helped a ton of people improve their lives with juicing.
I am sincerely glad with your life transformation. My husband also has chronic illness and your comment gave me hope. I am not a doctor or nutritionist to provide scientific evidence or give argumentative comments on this video, I just think it is better than not taking it at all…. Stay healthy!
I totally agree with you
I think it’s getting to the point where people are waking up and eating what the earth prepared instead of a science food
This is called anecdotal evidence and there is no basis for the claims you are making on a larger scale.
Juicing isn't healthy for the majority. Your positive experience could have been due to something juicing provides but for the majority without medical complications, it probably isn't healthy. There's a difference between juicing and making a fruit/vegetable smoothie.
🙂 Hand on heart. Vegetable juicing is the healthiest and best thing I have ever done in my life. Cleared psoriasis up with it (combined with diet and supplements). Given me an amazing complexion, so I don't need to wear makeup coverage. Given me shiny hair naturally. Given me amazing energy and clarity. Helped my eyesight improve. Come flu season, I hardly ever get sick, but if I do, a few days of extra juicing gets me well in no time. Plus on top of all this, it has helped me get off junk food and into a healthy diet and lifestyle. I gave up coke cola, and replaced it with homemade veggie juices. In fact, just having a kale carrot combo now. People try to say it is dangerous or unhealthy, and I think they are completely *bonkers*.
I used to be pro-smoothie and anti-juicing, but after I had gastric surgery I can't handle all of the fiber in smoothies. Juice doesn't make me sick to my stomach and digests easily for me. I still think smoothies are great for MOST people, but some of us have different dietary needs
For someone like me who doesn't eat veggies, I dislike them, I need to juice. Not concerned with fiber in these veggies bc I consume fiber from other foods. And if I make a smoothie, I add greens to it.
So, apparently I NEED wine! :)
Lol😂🤣
As a person who fasted for 7 days I will say he is right about the pros and cons . But the way he interprets jucing seems underwhelming. I will say juicing is truly a benefit to a healthy diet. And you feel absolutely great consuming it. Is it medicine ? I will say ya and no it all depends on the the juices you drink and the things you do outside juciing. But for me it worked great 😊
I totally agree
Hi good video. Can i use Flax seed oil with my juice? Thanks.
Totally true about the ugly vegetables and grits. I grew up in my grandparents farm and no "symmetry perfect " vegetables and fruit were the same as the other ones. Yum yum ... missing it
I drink at least one green juice per day (mostly leaves, nonsweet veggies, lemon, ginger, celery, herbs, etc). I drink a very large smoothie every morning - i mean like 48 oz. Lots of leafy greens, coconut water, water, avocado or walnuts or almonds, seaweeds, spirulina, chlorella, an apple or berries, lemon, etc sooooo delicious. And I eat lots of salads broths n veggies. Aloha!
Keep it up!
u must be my twin because I do almost the same
Hi Aloha From Heather mind if i ask you some questions over email ? Thanks :)
I bet you have amazing skin and a body to match, awesome
bro.. it's improve eyesight??
Ive loss 81lbs from juicing.
"The body doesn't NEED juice" is a pretty poor argument as a "con". We also don't NEED essential oils or bone broth for example, never heard anyone on this channel mentioning that though..(something to do with the fact that they sell essential oils and bone broth powder but not juicing machines maybe). We're not all here because we NEED this. Some just want to take this info to help take their health and fitness to the next level. Also, sugar in veggies is hardly a problem. Fruit is a different story I agree. But wouldn't it be nice if consuming carrots and beets were people's biggest problem when it comes to sugar consumption? As for "probably won't help weight loss" doesn't that depend on what exactly you're juicing? Some veggies are known to help promote weight loss(such as celery). Am I not getting the same benefits with juicing(minus the fiber) vs eating the whole veggie/fruit?
very agree! they say some thing bad for that thing if they dont get benefits from it.
High amounts of fiber in smoothies give me stomach aches. Juicing is the way to go especially if you are very sick (coming out from a chemo or radiatio). It gives your digestive system a rest it needs and heals you faster. I know there are a lot out there who cured their cancer from just juicing. Disappointing video.
awakenyourlife same too much fiber cramps me up and makes me feel pretty nauseous
awakenyourlife yes juicing is best for treating or recovering from illnesses but not everyone gets cramping from smoothies and smoothies work great for many so that may be the way to go for them even if it doesn’t work for you. It’s was a good video in my opinion. Not disappointing at all.
Bannana Joe how does it remove the pesticides ?
Bannana Joe Thanks so much for your anwser. Excellent. God bless you.
Hi Doctor! I heard that juicing only removes the insoluble fiber and that the soluble fiber which helps regulate blood sugar is still present in the juice. Is this true?
I have been juicing forever and i love it...but i only do greens, the bitter the better!!
I agree let’s keep juicing
Me also. I juice greens and celery or cucumbers with ginger and lemon and follow up with a green snoothie with nuts and seeds. I never juice or ear sweet fruits. Berries with ground flaxseeds and Cinnamon to lower blood sugar and apple cider vinegar.
When I juice my green vegetables I dilute with spring water and add in apple cider vinegar and Cinnamon to lower blood sugar.
I juice loads of leafy green vegetables and blend loads of green vegetables. The bitter the better.
I have a hard time with fiber
If you juice, invest in a cold pressed juicer (slow juicer). You get more nutrients than a regular juicer
Nope. Cold pressed juicers are only better at producing a little more juice than Centrifugal Juicer. I'll stick with my Hamilton Beach.
Cold pressed all the way
Cold pressed juices last longer.
I do both the juicing and blending, but with the juicing I have more energy I just add table spoon of plain yogurt. With the blend I get a lot of cramping and gas. Thank you for your helpful information. I drink my juice with a healthy meal and that balance out my sugar intake.
You have more energy due to the massive amount of sugar absorption. No, a regular meal wont slow down the sugar absorption
i don't have fresh fruit in my city can i use frozen fruit and vegetable
Can you give me some feedback on Karma wellness water? I like the pineapple coconut and is loaded with vitamins and minerals A E D plus B vitamins potassium Lty rosine
Can you maintain a lean diet by just juicing ?? Or should you include protein shakes??
I need to gain weight so maybe I should start juicing... thanks for the info!
@jasonvale what do you think of this ? I am a great believer of juicing and smoothies but I am aware of the dangerous sugar content when juicing as the fiber is removed. This is the only thing that makes me wonder if juicing is really healthy
very interesting!
Vegetable juicing is good u can loose weight. You can add the fibre back is actually tasty. I use one or two fruits to give it a taste. I replace one meal and it worked great. In detox it works well as well.
LOSE weight
hi doctor ,
i want to ask Cabbage Juice and Potato Juice are really good for stomach health?
my father has suffered gastroesophageal reflux disease since 2016
I don't think raw potato is all that good for us, and I could be wrong. But being a nightshade there's toxic chemicals that can actually harm our digestive tracts. Cabbage juice sounds fine, from a safety standpoint. It sounds absolutely horrible from a taste standpoint lol, to me.
Digestion begins in the mouth with saliva and so ideally to maximise the nutrient intake one must start by properly chewing the foods at each meal. The method of juicing can be a helpful adjunctive mode in consuming one's foods for various reasons but should never be seen as a replacement to eating any of them.
Does this include Cold Pressed and Pulverized Juices (vitamix and blendtech blender). From my understanding you consume the beneficial fibers and nutrients from this approach.
Dr. Axe I heard that vegetable juice is best to drink on an empty stomach. If we drink juice on an empty stomach how fat soluble vitamins will be absorbed ? Should I add some fat but if yes what source to choose?
very helpful; thanks!!!
Thank you! I almost went out and bought a juicer!
Can you save the fruit or veggie pulp and put it in other food like a soup? Do it is not wasted and you get its benefits? Thank you
This video ignores blender "juicing" where the entire fruit or vegetable is consumed. You can consume far more vegetables more easily by drinking them than by trying to eat them.
Because that is a smoothie, not juicing. Juicing is literally taking just the juice.
I've been enjoying a blend of spinach, kale and bok choy without removing any pulp. I do add a cup of water with a handful of each green which seems to minimize the pulp and grassy flavor.
Yes 😀 I eat the pulp too or drink it! I use coconut water and unsweetened almond milk 🥛
Is juicing better than smoothies? I have a ninja and i do smoothies. I lost 90 lbs from smoothies. Smoothies ( blending ) keeps the fiber in the smoothie. I mainly do greens with a little bluberries and watermelon.
My question is I am i ketosis and have some juice cleanses scheduled. I start a 3 day one soon , I plan to do kale, cucumber, ginger, limes, apples , oranges, cellery is there any danger to jumping into a juice cleanse while in ketosis?
Can you add a fiber supplement to the juice to add the fiber you're not getting?
Your opinion is just that, an opinion. It's always good to listen to health thoughts.
Ron Weber i
Go on nothing but juice for 30 days..
The only con you will be mentioning is the cost..
And that cost is a result of all the garbage and sh*t that is marketed to us.
Make it harder to grow and sell organic. The price is gonna increase.
The Raw Cavi-art i lost 28 lbs in 30 days it was worth it
When is the best time of day to juice?
You can juice fruits right before a long run or bike ride and your body will use it for energy and burn up the sugar. But if you juice fruit and just sit around it will spike your blood sugar.
It will anyways
Hmmm I drink veggie juice (veggie dominant), but I also eat a Garden of Life protein bar with high fiber. Do you think this helps? I also eat whole grain brown rice snaps on the side. This is all just for my daily lunch btw
Smoothies are a great way to replace the fibers in nutrients instead just fruit
Should have made a distinction between soluble and insoluble fibre. The fibre you lose is not used by the body directly.
For breakfast I have steak fries garlic bread pecan pie a large soda and some twinkies It works really good
Are they the golden Twinkies or the chocolate ones?? 🤔
You can do that when you're young but it will catch up with you later. It did for me but I had to change my eating habits. Soda is deadly but I didn't know then. Please don't continue this way🙏🙏🙏
@@agneskiganda7113 lmao you must be new to the comments section of TH-cam.
What if I only want to juice veggies? And use the fiber in my soups.
as long as its not carrots...tons of sugar
yea ur body doesnt need that much sugar, but then again when u weight out calorie intake/sugar intake, idk. just depends on what u wanna do with that certain juice. very vague if u ask me
Thanks n Jordan is the CEO n Josh is ?
Can you just take a Fiber 1 bar for fiber to make up the lose of fiber from juicing?
What about pressure cooking because I have false teeth and I cannot eat carrots and celery Raw and potatoes need to be cooked. I do however use onions in my salads. And I cook with red vegetables as in potatoes and onions. I was told that 95% of nutrients are maintained when pressure cooked. I'm getting a juicer to also make green drinks. And there are fruitarians that say theirs is the best way. Maybe you could address these issues because they work.
Gerson Therapy.. Carrots !
In Europe they add cream to carrot juice? Can you say more? As a ‘european’ this is a new concept.
I’m going to do further research. Not just going to get one mans take on it.
This video is awesome. The only thing I don't agree with is he talking about too much sugar. It's a natural sugar from fruits. It's not like the glucose fructose crap.
LOL I just love his corny jokes, they crack me up every time.
He's referring to a juicing lifestyle not using juicing for detox or medicine. Those juices are not fruit but vegetable. When you are sick especially with cancer...you should eliminate ALL sugar for a long while...including fruits high in sugar...limit it to berries only. Just saying.
I bought celery juice, turmeric, carrot and another juice. I drank about half out of all four and the next day I had diarrhea. Why was it the sugary carrot juice?
Add ceylon cinnamon powder to the juice to curb some of the sugar.
Juice Feasting is one of the best ways to cleanse, but only short term not as long term :)
feasting???
depends on ur diet.
I lost 33 lbs juicing. He should compare juicing to blending to eating the whole fruit or veggie. On an empty stomach drinking veggie juice, minimizing fruit hence sugar, was great but my poor discipline I gained it all back by juicing only every 3 days. He should have compared it to blending as then you consume the whole veggie and just minimize the fruit you blend in. I well know that I would have to chew for hours to consume the amount of raw organic vegetables I blend. He doesn't emphasize organic and he should. I'm also sure I'm absorbing much more nutrients than if I were chewing it. Blending satisfies my hunger much longer than juicing. I only lost 6 lbs in about 12 1/2 days so far. I have cheated some missing regular food, yet 90% of the time blending. I'll come back here too to let you know how it goes. I think that's very important where many never return after a comment. I wish this guy wouldn't shout, I wear headphones not to disturb others in my high rise bldg. He's excited about his topic so that's good.
So is juicing good or bad....
Thank you so much for all your amazing videos. They're extremely helpful.

I occasionally make homemade juices. I like using the vitamix better then an actual juicer. I blend the stuff up real good and use a nut milk bag, the bags used to make almond milk, and just strain out all of the juice. It's a little more time consuming because there's more steps, but you get more bang for your buck. I don't have to use a lot of produce to get a whole glass of juice. Maybe I missed it but I don't I heard him mention the enzymes in homemade unpasteurized juice. That's really the only reason why I drink the stuff. Store bought juice has been pasteurized. Raw foods have enzymes which is beneficial to the digestion process. Raw milk, raw dairy products, and raw eggs all have enzymes too. Even raw meat and raw fish, and contrary to the trendy belief raw meat is very easily digested. Just don't eat store bought meat raw. Get it from a local farm that feeds their cows nothing but grass. You want fresh and healthy meat when eating it raw. I normally marinate mine in lemon and olive oil which kills off any harmful parasites that might be lurking. The raw foodies frown at marinating and freezing meat(freezing is another way to kill parasites), but it's better safe then sorry. Raw foodies also like eating raw chicken, which is something I don't recommend you try regardless of how it's raised. Just red meats and fish. Raw foods are important for their enzymes and their superior nutritional content. Just don't start buying into the fad that we aren't suppose to eat cooked foods. Most of our diet should be cooked. Cooked foods free up the calories for our bodies to use more efficiently. Anything higher then 50% raw is carrying it a littler too far.
i think i would mostly use the juicer for veggies such as kale or celery as i would never eat them raw
I juice and blend daily, and I focus on eating healthy - it's creating a healthy diet for yourself and juice/ blend as well. I mean come on it's the biological science, also you never touched on how important fiber is as well. I mix organic Psyllium I get from my doctor's office with my health shakes or blend it in with my vitamin drinks, and wow it's amazing - I feel better than I have in forever.
Thu video is deceptive especially in the sugar segment. Fruit sugar (fructose) is different from vegetable sugar (glucose) fructose is not only a simple sugar but it doesn't require insulin production to enter cells. Lol @ too much sugar maybe from veggies and maybe from juicing. I used to juice but got tired of wasting produce (pulp) I make smoothies now.
This video was quiet confusing and all over the place!! He was talking about juicing and juices in the bottle from the grocery store in the same sentence???..
Thank you for the great content, would you please make a training video about Collagen and Keratin and the best food for each.Thank you
What happened to Dr Axe where is he
I’ll stand with Jay Kordich who lived to his mid nineties, Charlotte Gerson mid nineties, Jack Lalanne mid nineties
This doesn't make any sense to me. If I juice fruit it may be too much sugar. But if it's blended, does the sugar disappear?
I don't juice fruit. Only kale, spinach, wheat grass powder and lemon. (Ok that fruit only). So I don't see a problem with that.
Am I missing something?
Sugar doesn't disappear, the fiber slows down the digestion of sugar which helps with the harmful insulin spikes
LoganAddisMusic
I get you, totally. So if that's the case, there shouldn't be a difference between juicing and blending then, right? Assuming you're juicing and blending the same ingredients.
i done plan on making juicing my whole diet, but i am going to add it into my diet and still eat. but the fruits and vegetables that i don’t eat 24/7 ima juice them
I juiced and drank it for breakfast and lunch. Then ate a light meal for dinner. I went from 210 to 187 in less than two months.
Healthy juice, not bad, so i'll drink 5 cups of it a day and, 1st on sunday, 2nd on monday, 3rd on tuesday, 4th on wednesday, and 5th on thursday.
Mario, Ciao Ciao
Ye well if you're gut is inflamed and damaged from celiac juice works better for my gut but what about the bacterial in it
Trying eating Wheatgrass and let me know how that goes. I'll be juicing it
Exactly. Juicing has its uses and you can always add some of the plant matter back into the juice before consuming. I like to juice and blend.
3:28. Thanks. The only reason i eat veggies is due to fiber so that i dont get constipation. My doctor advised the same. Jucing is waste
I think of juicing as only the best vegetables and fruits thru your own juicer etc,
not most already bottled juices in the stores I like his idea of blending some cucumber etc to add some fiber , juicing the rest
sir is it health?
Add creme! No way
Hi! I'm back! I lost 8 1/2 lbs. I received my vacuum blender on 4-23-18 and it is now 5-31-18. It does satisfy my hunger longer blending, however, consider that with blending one can be more creative with ingredients than with juicing. One example is nuts. I add almonds and/or walnuts and also I will sprout organic seeds like mung peas or garbonzo beans (just use a jar with a screen as a lid and soak and change water) and add a cup of that, so in effect I'm raising the calories and maybe satisfying part of my hunger that way when I can't do such when juicing, so take that into account. Before I added nuts or seeds or tofu I found it did still satisfy my hunger longer than juicing. I have to admit I slacked off too much and missed the texture and taste of food and would make a peanut butter sandwich or eat some berries whole, or if I got weak exercising like riding bike I did eat part of an energy bar or take along a peanut butter sandiwich, so I was cheating. I have to try more as my weight loss since last entry here 3 weeks ago was only 2 1/2 lbs less, so in last 3 weeks I lost 2 1/2 lbs more. I hope I helped. I am very glad I now have a blender and wish I would have purchase that instead of a juicer, however, I keep my juicer as I know I will use it sometimes.
Keep going both of u guys❤️I love your channel😃
We all support u to replace fake things in our lives with the real one✌🏽️
I have sickle anemia and my parents raise me up on juicing. It helps me. love coconut, beets and watercress juice. Hopefully nobody try’s to steal my juice ingredients and call it their own.
One large peach at checkout in Calgary...tada.....3.41 cents....I put it back
I wouldn't say sugar is a con to juicing just as much of a kind it is for smoothies or any meal, you get out what you put in. Simple more greens less fruit
I don't juice. I do smoothies of a morning. I make sure I incorporate leafy greens and Omega 3s in them.
He didn't say juicing was bad. He was talking about overusing it. He recommends using a higher ratio of vegetables to fruit. He is talking about "juice junkees", someone who's doing it to the extreme.
So why not just blend it?
great educational video..
😅😅😅😅😅Good one U G L Y. Love that skit. I blend.
Have you heard of anti nutrients? What is that all about?
He dint mention the awful cons of juicing regarding the cleaning its so time consuming i gave up and bought a Bullet
what about blueberries and avocado together as a smoothie?
go for it :D
I do juicing every day. Fruits and vegetables and I add animal protein powder chia seeds and flaxseeds. I have beans legumes. I have meat 🥩 meals with it. Fish, chicken, turkey, beef, all grass fed. Juicy is very healthy, just add the right ingredients to it less sugar. I’m 49 years old and feeling better than I did years ago. 😀
I love my juices from green vegetables and fruits.
A way to handle sugar - ferment it for a week or two.
Blend. The whole shubang
“U-G-L-Y now you gotta alibi…I digress!” 😆🤣😆
Doesn't juicing remove the fiber from the whole sequence? Don't we need the fiber too? I'm confused.
JoAnn S. I think with the juicing thing, when you juice, by extracting the fibre you make the nutrients more readily absorbable so your body doesn't waste energy breaking it down so the nutrients go instantly into the cells. The fibre you take away you would excrete anyway as fibre is indigestible so you've basically done your body's job for it. You also pack more nutrients into a juice that you wouldn't be able to consume by eating the vegetables whole. We need fibre yes but we can get them from other sources and if you include smoothies too in your diet you should get enough fibre. It's a big debate I know but I would do what is right for you.
Is using a blender considered the same as juicing even though the whole fruit/vegetable is used?
How can processing vegetables be healthier than just eating them?
You just get a lot more vitamins out of them. Most arent going to sit here and eat ten carrots, but you can easily drink a glass of carrot juice from ten carrots.
