Fresh juicing is a great way to help your body absorb nutrients of the fruits and vegetable you choose.

It is often recommended  you should get 6-8 servings of vegetables a day to fulfill the bodies needs for vitamins and minerals  incorporating a fresh veggie juice into your daily routine increases your intake of vital nutrients and almost guarantees you hit that target intake mark.

Dark leafy greens and lemons and limes are the go to foods for juicing in a cleansing diet and because of in juice form they are predigested and raw your body will absorb the nutrition in them to the fullest.
