The Great American Health Hoax: The Surprising Truth About How Modern Medicine Keeps You Sick—How to Choose a Healthier, Happier, and Disease-Free Life

The nutrients in vegetables can be made even more bioavailable by juicing or blenderizing. Using a juicer or powerful blender to mechanically break the tough cell walls of the plant releases more nutrition. In fact, you can get three times more nutrition from the same food than if you chewed it. Chewing makes only a fraction of the nutrition available. Making matters worse, most people don’t chew well. A combination of juicing and blenderizing is best. Juicing is less filling because it removes the fiber, which allows you to consume more vegetables and get more nutrients. Blenderizing retains the fiber, and most of us don’t get enough fiber. Many suitable juicers and blenders are on the market. Experiment with a variety of vegetables, and drink a glass of vegetable juice every day.
