Energize! Shine! Optimize!
Juicing for the Health of It!
 Juicing is a convenient and inexpensive way to concentrate the most nutrition from whole plant foods. Nothing is more nutritious.
Key to the Hallelujah Diet, there is no faster way to health and healing. Juicing is the powerhouse for internal cleansing and restoration of optimum health.
Yet this is the first thing many Hallelujah dieters skimp on. Tragically, doing so reduces the awesome health benefits of the Hallelujah diet plan.
Health Benefits of Juicing
Boost your energy! Supercharge your immune system! Maximize your body’s healing power! While this sounds like the shouting from a late night infomercial, the health benefits of juice are nothing short of miraculous!
Juicing revamps your health from the inside out by:
-
Detoxifying your body
-
Boosting the immune system
-
Maintaining a healthy pH balance of your body
-
Providing large amounts of nutrients and anutrients
-
Enabling the cells to absorb and utilize nutrients better
-
Supplying beneficial enzymes
-
Ensuring sufficient amounts of phytochemicals
-
Supplying large amounts of antioxidants
-
Providing concentrated vitamins and minerals
-
Freeing energy consumed in digestion for use in body repair and healing
-
Giving your body the pure, natural water that is in the fruit or vegetable itself!
Fresh- Not Pasteurized!
Don’t cheat yourself by drinking canned, bottled, or concentrated juice. These have all been pasteurized. In order to get all the health benefits, juice must be fresh, not pasteurized.
Pasteurization involves heat to kill any bacteria. Unfortunately, pasteurization also kills the vital enzymes. Without the enzymes, our bodies are unable to fully digest and absorb the available nutrients.
In addition, pasteurization destroys or alters immune factors, phytohormones, proteins, vitamins, and mineral availability. All of these undergo definite changes during the heating process.
 Due to differing science and belief systems, to what extent the nutrient value is actually destroyed is confusing and unclear. However, man-made nutrients are always inferior to their natural form and if they must be added to replace those destroyed by heat, there is no argument. The quality of the juice has suffered.
Fresh- Free of Sulfites!
Sulfites are used in increasing amounts as a food preservative or enhancer. They may come in various forms, such as:
- Sulfur dioxide
- Potassium bisulfite
- potassium metabisulfite
- sodium sulfite
- sodium metabisulfite
- Sodium bisulfite
Though not technically an allergen because it is not a protein, sulfites are listed among the top 9 food allergens since many people have reactions to it.
Not only is processed juice pasteurized, sulfites are also added by the food industry as preserving and clarifying agents to keep it unnaturally clear. Compare the clarity of your fresh apple juice with that jug you bought from the store:
Your apple juice is thicker, cloudier and quickly begins to brown. The liquid in the jug is crystal clear and will last a lot longer, thanks to the addition of sulfites.
The inorganic sulfites added by the food industry are harming us. Many people eating the standard American diet (SAD) suffer severe allergy symptoms, including headaches, asthma, and even seizures from sulfites.
As in pasteurization, sulfites also alter the God-given food nutrient content. So, any food to which sulfites are added are no longer what God created! Drinking processed, pasteurized juice will not give you the health benefits God intended.
Don’t deprive yourself of the health and healing God promised! Drink only fresh, raw vegetable and fruit juice!
Fruit Juicing versus Vegetable Juicing
Fruit or vegetables? Is one better than the other?
Though both have benefits, the general rule of thumb is:
Drink your vegetables, eat your fruit. Fresh, raw vegetables are the best source of minerals and fresh, raw fruits are the best source of vitamins. Juicing will provide these vitamins and minerals at the cellular level and in the form that will expend the least amount of energy in digestion. This will free the energy your body needs for healing and repair.
In the Hallelujah diet, vegetable juice is the most essential juice in providing the nutrition we need to build and regenerate our living cells.
The Best Juicing Vegetable
Carrot juice is a fundamental and potent part of the Hallelujah Diet. The Gerson Institute in successfully treating terminal cancer patients has used carrot juice for over 50 years. Dr. Malkmus has used it for over 24 years for the treatment and successful healing of his own cancer.
The use of carrots and especially carrot juice as a healing agent is even older! As long as 150 years ago, books published in Germany speak highly of the healing properties of carrots in treating disease.
Carrot juice is deliciously rich in Provitamin A (Β-carotene), which is the ‘most famous’ of anti-oxidants. And it also contains these other carotene anti-oxidants:
- alpha-carotene
- gamma-carotene
- lutein
- zeaxanthin
- lycopene
- xanthophyll
Carrot juice is also high in B complex vitamins and containing many minerals including calcium, copper, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, and iron.
Carotene anti-oxidants increase the production and performance of white blood cells, the key players in our immune system. The high vitamin A content assists to remove toxins from the body.
According to the October 1985 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, carrot juice can pull heavy metals from fatty tissues where they reside, bind them up, and discharge them from our bodies.
With the huge exposure of heavy metals that we’re subjected to these days, carrot juice is a daily essential
