pineapple zinger juice

Heady, tropical & sweet pineapple contains the enzyme ‘bromelain’ said to help arthritis, inflammation, nasal swelling & muscle soreness (give me a bucket of it will you!). I know bromelain as the enzyme that helps to break down fat. Pineapple Zinger Juice will hydrate you & as the name implies – will give you a nice lift. Containing cucumber, pineapple, jalapeno, lime & romaine lettuce – the jalapeno is surprisingly, not hot, but instead adds a fabulous little punch to the juice.

To learn all about the many benefits of juicing, check out these previous posts: Hydrating Green Juice & Sunburst Juice. I speak from experience when I say juicing is something everyone could benefit from doing. You do need a juice extractor. Here is juicing guru, Joe Cross making a very yummy juice, you’ll see what a juice extractor is. In the video, Joe talks about leaving the skin on oranges & lemons. FYI – I prefer to peel citrus because the skin is bitter.

There are many benefits to juicing – whether you do a juice fast or incorporate a juice into your day – perhaps, like I do & try replacing one meal with a juice. Here are some benefits I have found from juicing:

• high dose of nutrients
• hydrating
• helps increase energy levels – probably due to the hydrating properties
• eases pain associated with arthritis
• helps skin irritations
• helps boost the immune system
• healing
• glowing skin
• better gut health – improves digestion
• helps rid the body of excess fluid build up
• can aid in weight loss
• better sleep (when doing a juice fast)

There’s much information on the web about juicing but THE best thing I recommend for you to really see the power of juicing, is to watch Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead, a documentary about a man’s struggle to gain back his health & cure himself of a rare skin disease & obesity – all through the power of juicing.
