Vegetable juice is the life force of the plant, therefore it is like a blood transfusion for you! Really, that statement may not be so off base. In fact, the chlorophyll molecules which provide energy to the plant look chemically like hemoglobin molecules found in mammalian blood. The only difference is that a chlorophyll molecule has a magnesium ion in place of the iron. Can you see then just how beneficial ingesting fresh juice can be for the body? Juice is loaded with micronutrients that the plant takes up from the soil into its structure. These are naturally occurring vitamins and minerals- the nutrition that Nature intended for us. Juicing will be a mainstay in my next book �Nature�s Detox� and of any nutritional or detoxification program. I highly recommend the movie �Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead� to illustrate the amazing healing powers of juicing.
