[pullquote_left]Making fresh soups and juices is the best way to get the most nutrition from vegetables. – By Dr.Roni DeLuz PHD, RN, ND[/pullquote_left]
What are the benefits of juicing vegetables?
Vegetables pack a big punch when it comes to nutrients. If you are trying to get the most nutrition out of detox vegetables, the best thing to do is to prepare them into tasty juices or soups. However, you have to be careful not to overcook vegetables as it will kill off all the good enzymes and diminish the strength of the nutrients that you want from your detox vegetables.
Detox Vegetables
There are two great ways to get the most nutrients out of your veggies and this is to juice them or cook them into soups. You might not be able to eat a pound of carrots with a fork, but you can consume that much and more if you juice them. To ensure that you can get even more nutrients out of your vegetables, use them as soon as they are picked.
Because we do not always know when our vegetables are picked, we do want to buy produce that is as fresh as possible. The best places to buy veggies are from farmer?s markets direct from local gardeners. If you must purchase from the grocery store, try to get veggies that look fresh, vibrant, and a crisp. It?s even better if you can purchase organic detox vegetables because they have not been exposed to the many toxins that other vegetables are exposed to.
It?s also important to make your own juice rather than use processed juice. Processed juice has been prepared for the shelf and much of the nutrients in it have been depleted. These juices often contain toxic substances that should be avoided. While some of their vitamins may be intact, you are still not going to get the punch from processed juice that you would get from homemade juices. Live juices also flush acid from your body, which is good for your digestive system.
Healthy Detox Vegetables
When it comes to making soups, puree veggies to get the most nutrients. You can get double the amount of nutrients and you do not have to worry about any preservatives, artificial flavors or colors. To add flavor, consider using onion, garlic, oregano, paprika, bay leaves, sage, basil, cilantro, or even cayenne pepper for natural flavoring rather than salt and pepper.
In juicing and soup cooking you have a wide variety of vegetables to choose from. Many people prefer the sweet taste of carrot juice but want to expand to additional areas from there. You can mix and match several vegetable blends for a unique and healthier juice or soup combination. Many combinations of vegetable juices will also help prevent different types of health conditions, such as heart disease.
Choosing Detox Vegetables
When choosing your vegetables, you want to choose all different colors. Consuming different colors of veggies ensures that you are receiving the wide variety of nutrients that each of these vegetables contains and allows you to benefit from all of their different healing powers.
