Hello, Hello!!!! I want to talk to you about cold pressed juices, they have become a
popular beverage gaining the reputation of being a health elixir. I can faithfully attest to
this, as I personally consume them constantly as well as my husband, and I have some
patients that we work with on this nutrition where their chronic degenerative conditions
have improved notably giving them a better quality of life.
Cold-pressed juices are made from fresh fruits and vegetables through a cold extraction
process that preserves enzymes and nutrients, these juices offer a nutritious and
refreshing alternative to sugary and processed beverages.
Health benefits:
Preservation of nutrients: By not applying heat in the process, most of the vitamins and
minerals in fruits and vegetables remain in a liquid state, for greater absorption. The
cold extraction process breaks down the cell walls of fruits and vegetables, releasing
the nutrients and making them more easily absorbed by the body.
Rich in nutrients: Cold-pressed juices are an excellent source of vitamins, minerals,
antioxidants and fiber. These nutrients are essential for the proper functioning of the
body and can help prevent chronic diseases.
Detoxification: They can help eliminate toxins from the body, improving digestion, liver
function and overall health.
Boosting the immune system: Nutrients present in cold-pressed juices, such as vitamin
C and Beta-carotene, can help strengthen the immune system and fight infections.
Energy boost: Cold-pressed juices are a natural source of sugars and energy.
Easy consumption of fruits and vegetables: A cold-pressed juice can contain up to 500
grams of fruits and vegetables, making it easy to meet the recommended daily intake.
Hydration and hunger control: They are a good source of hydration, nutrients and can
help control hunger between meals, being useful to maintain energy and support weight
loss. Cold-pressed juices can be a useful tool for weight loss, as they are low in calories
and rich in nutrients.
Cold-pressed juice vs. salad:
Cold-pressed juices can be more powerful than a bowl of salad in terms of nutrient
concentration. The cold extraction process releases the nutrients from the fruits and
vegetables, concentrating them into an easy-to-digest beverage. However, salads are
also an important source of fiber and other essential nutrients, so both options have
their benefits, and we should add raw salads especially with high dark green content
which contain the most fiber.
Scientific studies:
- A study published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition, found that
consumption of cold-pressed cranberry juice for 12 weeks improved cognitive function
in older adults.
- A study by the University of Exeter (UK) that this beverage significantly increased
muscle strength during exercise, a new paper published in the European Respiratory
Journal concludes that a 12-week treatment with a daily beet juice supplement for
people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) reduced blood pressure
and improved the distance patients could walk in six minutes.
- A study published in the Journal of Complementary and Integrative Medicine found
that consumption of cold-pressed green juice for 4 weeks improved intestinal health in
people with irritable bowel syndrome.
It is also important to know the different conditions that can improve cold-pressed juices:
- Chronic Fatigue
- Constipation
- Digestive problems
- Inflammation
- Heart disease
- Diabetes
- It can even help prevent cancer or as a nutritional adjuvant when suffering from this
unfortunate disease.
Let´s talk about detox and physical recovery:
Cold-pressed juices can be a useful tool for detoxification and physical recovery.
Removing toxins from the body can improve overall health and wellness. Cold-pressed
juices can also provide essential nutrients that are necessary for muscle repair and
recovery after exercise.
- You should choose cold-pressed juices made with fresh and organic fruits and
vegetables, my recommendation is that if you have the opportunity to make them at
home, even better.
- Limit the consumption of cold-pressed juices with high sugar content. Making a mix of
low glycemic index vegetables and fruits is ideal.
Cold-pressed juices are a healthy and nutritious beverage that can offer a variety of
health benefits. If you are looking to improve your overall health, increase your energy
or lose weight, cold-pressed juices may be a good option for you.
Remember to always decide for your health.
Bye, Bye.
