Top 5 Juicing Must-Haves: Diet Tips for Better Sustainability

When on a strict diet, it can be tedious eating the same things over and over again. Even if there are more options available, finding to cook and prepare your meals on top of everything else is a tall order. Luckily, there are ways to make your weight loss easier on your schedule and pocket. Juicing is a popular new way of getting those essential foods into your body but with less hassle, perfect for times when you’re rushing out the door and in need of a pick-me-up! Instead of fueling up on caffeine and sugar, opt for a healthier, natural alternative. Juicing ensures that you can absorb the food more quickly because it is in liquid form, and if you add the pulp afterwards, you have the added benefit of fiber and even more vitamins and nutrients.

If you’re new to juicing, here are some must-haves in your shake:

1. Spinach

Spinach is arguably the best vegetable on the planet. Packed with tons of anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatories, it is a known anti-cancer food and popular among alternative cancer remedies. Popeye was definitely on to something with all that spinach-popping!

2. Ginger

Ginger is the secret to having a kick in your drink. Not a lot of people are too crazy about the taste of ginger, so add it in sparingly. You don’t need much; a little goes a long way. In addition to contributing flavor to your concoction, ginger is great for nose and throat congestion, cramps, air sickness and flatulence.

3. Blueberries

Blueberries are known to have tons of anti-oxidants and is considered another one of the world’s healthiest foods. Other benefits include better memory, cardiac health, eye health and blood sugar regulation in those with type 2 diabetes.

There you go! Every time you juice, make sure you have at lease one of these in your drink. Don’t forget to also include other healthy ingredients to make your daily intake interesting.
