Most of the time when you start juicing, you’ll either be following recipes from a juicing book or sourcing for recipes online. There are thousands of recipes out there and you’ll never run short of ideas.
But every now and then, you might decide to be creative and want to create your own juices to enjoy or use as a remedy. For example, if you have digestive issues, you may want to make a carrot juice with a slice of ginger. Or you may make a kale, green apple and cucumber smoothie.
* Knowledge is important
Knowing how to combine the different veggies to achieve your desired outcome will require you to have knowledge of the different properties and benefits of the vegetables and fruits you’re using.
This will require you to either study the benefits and properties of the produce you’re using or you could make a handy checklist that you can refer to at any time.
* Picking your base
This is one of the key steps when making a juice. Most bases are made by juicing fruits and vegetables with a high water content. Celery, cucumber, water melon, apples, tomatoes, oranges, limes and beets.
If you want a sweeter juice, use the fruits. If you want more nutrients, use vegetables in your juicing. You can blend a mixture of both too. It all depends on your tastes.
* Healing ingredients
Some ingredients have healing properties. Turmeric is great for reducing inflammation. Garlic can treat bloating and gas, but has a pungent odor. Ginger is pungent and has a strong taste but is great for treating indigestion. A dash of cinnamon can treat colds and flus.
There are many ingredients with different healing properties. When using these, moderation is very important. If you use too much of these in your juice, the smell and taste of the drink will be very strong and consuming it will be an unpleasant experience.
* What’s the purpose of your juicing?
If you’re just juicing for health benefits, the usual fruit and vegetable blends will more than suffice. If you know that you’re suffering from inflammation or high cholesterol or other health problems like hypertension, diabetes, etc. then you’ll want your juices to address these problems.
When you have a goal with your juicing, then most of the juices you make should be targeted towards addressing these issues.
Want to lower cholesterol? Juice the kale.
Want to increase metabolism and boost your energy? Wheatgrass juice is the answer.
Is your blood pressure and heart health worrying you? Start adding spinach in your juicing.
Want to perform better at sports and physical activities? Beetroot juice has been proven to have a positive effect on physical performance.
Knowing your goal will help you to create a juicing remedy that addresses the issue.
That said, it’s important to note that juicing is a holistic method of treatment. If you need medical treatment, it’s best to see a doctor. You can still carry on juicing while on medication.
All holistic methods take time to show results. So, you’ll need to juice daily for about 3 to 4 months before you start seeing and feeling the effects of the juices. You’ll also want to reduce your consumption of processed and unhealthy foods.
This two-pronged approach will boost your health and you’ll see positive results as soon as possible. Juice daily, clean up your diet and study nutrition. This is the best approach to improving your health and well-being.
