My Favorite Green Juice

5 stalks celery
5 leaves kale
1/2 bunch parsley

1 green onion (optional)

1/2 bunch cilantro

If you prefer sweeter juice varieties add 1 apple or 2 carrots and omit the onion and cilantro.

There are two main reasons why you will want to consider incorporating vegetable juicing into your diet:

1. You probably have a compromised intestine. Most of us have compromised intestines as a result of less than optimal food choices over many years. This limits your body's ability to absorb all the nutrients from the vegetables. Juicing will help to "pre-digest" them for you so your body will actually receive most of the nutrition .

2. You need to eat one pound of raw vegetables per 50 pounds of body weight per day. Vegetable juicing allows you to accomplish this, as you can eat more vegetables than you would normally. By incorporating the juice into your eating plan you will easily be able to reach this goal.
