| The Why of Fresh Raw Juices |
 |
|
My extensive studies in the Healing Arts gave me the clue to the successful
steps necessary to develop and maintain VIBRANT HEALTH by means of the various
fresh raw vegetable juices.
That clue indicated to me that when we eat solid food it MUST be broken down by
the digestive processes into liquids. This is necessary in order that these
digestive processes may separate the atoms and molecules from the fiber to
enable the atoms and molecules to pass, by osmosis, through the walls of the
intestines. They can then be transported by the blood to the liver for
reconversion into the type and kind of nutrients that the cells and tissues of
the body need.
Fresh raw juices relieve the digestive system of much of the energy required to
liquefy solid food. Solis food requires, on an average, from three to five hours
to digest, whereas the juices are digested in a matter of minutes and they are
assimilated into the system in a very few minutes more.
Osmosis is the chemical and physiological diffusion through the walls of the
intestines of substances broken down and liquefied from a solid or semi-solid
state into their atomic components. It is only in this 'liberated' liquid state
that the food components are able to enter the body through the walls of the
intestines. They are then transported by the blood to the liver for
reconstruction into the kind and type of nutrients that the cells and tissues of
the body require.
What cannot be so liquefied in the digestive process is eliminated as waste
through the colon.
Now, do not jump to the conclusion that we should live solely on juices, eating
no solid food.
That would be neither logical nor sensible.
We DO need to eat plenty of fresh raw solid food, particularly in the form of
vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds and their sprouts, because their fibres are
needed as roughage to act as intestinal broom, figuratively speaking, so that
the colon can have fibrous material to assist its movement to expel the waste
products from the body.
This is covered in my book DIET AND SALAD SUGGESTIONS.
I consider fresh raw vegetable and fruit juices essential supplements to every
meal and an important part in the foundation for VIBRANT HEALTH.
