Did you know that drinking fresh green vegetable juices every day is one of the greatest secrets of slim and radiantly healthy people?

In fact, green juices will feed your body with an abundance of vitamins, minerals and disease-fighting antioxidants. These fresh and nutrient-rich juices will also help to heal and restore your energy and youthfulness.

In the beginning, trying your hand at making green juices may seem a bit daunting. After all, most of us were taught that fresh greens are something to be served in a salad, or lightly steamed, not in a glass!

It's important to remember, though, that there are no hard and fast rules here. However, you may want to begin experimenting with some of the milder tasting greens first--like the leaf lettuces, spinach and beet greens. These veggies taste great when juiced with fresh carrots or apples.

And I promise you, no matter what your chosen style of eating may be--carnivore, vegetarian, vegan, raw foodist or fruitarian--you will love the way you feel once you start drinking green vegetable juices every day!

You can start with just one glass, but you want to build up to drinking 1 to 2 quarts of green vegetable juice daily.
Of course, you'll want to sweeten your juices up with fruit to make them more palatable. Once you start experimenting with your favorite fruits, you'll begin concocting your own recipes; perhaps even coming up with a signature juice that will be raved about by your family and friends!

If your aim is to strengthen and cleanse your blood, green vegetable juices will help with that too. Their abundant mineral content also makes them excellent blood builders. Leafy greens are chlorophyll-rich. And chlorophyll, which gives green plants their color, has been proven to help build red blood cells.

Nutrition experts now claim that consuming plenty of green vegetables, particularly green leafy vegetables, will help to decrease the risk of heart disease, stroke and certain cancers. They are also said to be effective at lowering blood pressure, improving digestive health and guarding against cataracts and macular degeneration.

As far as I can tell, the easiest way to get plenty of leafy green vegetables into your daily diet is to drink them--sweetened with fruit of course. Simply put, drinking green juices and smoothies is one of the smartest things you can do to help revitalize your body and protect it from disease.

Try them! Your body will love you for it.
