Freshly made juices are a wonderful source of vitamins and minerals which are the partners of enzymes and co-enzymes. Enzymes are essential for digesting, absorbing and converting food into body tissue and are critical for most of the metabolic activities taking place in your body.
Another benefit of drinking fresh juices is that your body can absorb MORE of the vitamins and minerals then if you were to eat the fruits and vegetables whole! Many of the nutrients are TRAPPED in the fiber and by blending fruits and vegetables, you break down the fiber and release the vital nutrients.
Vitamins and minerals are only required in very small amounts, but a diet insufficient in these can cause severe deficiency diseases.
