Fresh juice is a nutrient-dense living liquid that is absorbed almost instantly into the body (in about 15 minutes!), requiring little effort to digest and assimilate. Juicing concentrates the most nutrient-dense parts of the plants in the juice. It is almost like receiving an intravenous infusion of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes that goes right into your system without having to be broken down.

Juicing should be a supplement to your diet, unless you are on a specific juice fast or cleanse, which is an extremely valuable practice. Juice is packed with nutrition, but does not have insoluble fiber – which is crucial for proper digestive health. However, juice actually does contain some fiber – soluble fiber. Soluble fiber is present in juice in the form of pectin, gums, and mucilage. It can help lower your cholesterol, stabilize blood sugar, and encourages good bowel bacteria.

Raw fresh juice also contains biophotonic light energy, which revitalizes your body on a light and energy level. The light of living juice has actually been seen with Kirlian photography, where the beautiful light fields around living things is made visible. Kirlian photos of cooked vegetables and pasteurized juice reveal very little “light” emanating from them.

Fresh, raw juice is a live food with the full spectrum of vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals and enzymes. Commercially processed, bottled, canned, frozen or packaged juices have been pasteurized, meaning the juice has been exposed to high temperatures, and many of the vitamins and enzymes have died off or have been removed.

One crucial benefit of juicing has to do with creating alkalinity in the body. Most people’s bodies are far too acidic. The ideal body pH is around 7.4, just slightly alkaline. Our modern diets are filled with acidifying foods, such as processed starches, refined sugars, factory-farmed meat & dairy products, processed & packaged foods, food additives, flavorings & colors. Nearly all who suffer from chronic illness have this acidity problem. Vegetables, and particularly greens, are alkaline, so when you juice, it will raise the pH of your body to a more beneficial level. At Alchemy we recommend consuming only ORGANIC juices – primarily green juices, because fruit, carrot and beet juices have highly concentrated sugars, which can create imbalance.
