Welcome to Wrightsville Beach Magazine

We are often reminded of the importance of eating our vegetables, but it is difficult to put down the chocolate and pick up the broccoli.
Growing up some of us tried to get away with sneaking vegetables to the dog, even though mom and dad lectured away about spinach for our muscles and carrots for our eyes.
I was not big on eating vegetables but found juicing to be the magic bullet for my health, energy, and vitality, says Rick Civelli, owner of Wrightsville Beach Surf Camp and Surfberry.
For those unable to stomach chewing large portions of beets or rutabagas, juicing could be an alternate route for ingesting natural vitamins and minerals.
Thats the main benefit of juicing the immediate absorption of nutrients. You feel on a nutrient high within the first 15 to 20 minutes after drinking them, says Stephanie Davis of Paulas Health Hut. Another nutritional goldmine in juiced produce is the enzymes they carry.

Let’s Start Juicing!

We decided on the Breville Multi-Speed Juice Fountain since Breville was the brand used in the documentary and all Breville models seem to have amazing reviews online.  It says the retail price is $199 but I found it on Amazon for $50 less!  Keep in mind that prices fluctuate daily on Amazon, so the price might rise or drop by the day.

9. Juicing Diet | The Most Popular Diets of 2012 (According to Google) | TIME.com

Kale-ginger-beet-goji berry juice anyone? This year, Americans were filling up on veggie juices for “juice cleanses” lasting three days or more. There is no shortage of juicing books and the juice industry is still booming. Even Starbucks joined the craze by buying luxe juicemaker Evolution Fresh for $30 million. The idea behind juicing is relatively simple: the aim is to fast on pure fruit and veggie juices to detox and purify the body to feel healthier, more energized and perhaps a couple pounds lighter.

Stanford Cancer Center - Juicing Recipes

The best selection of juices comes in nature's own containers: fresh fruits & vegetables.  Fresh juice is loaded with cancer-fighting phytochemicals and vitamins, in a state easily absorbed by the body.
Did you know?:

• 1 cup of carrot or celery juice provides most of the same nutrients found in 5 cups of those same vegetables chopped up.

To begin juicing, you'll need a juice extractor.

• For those who don't have one but looking to get one - there are so many versions sold at department stores from $20-$300. 
• High tech features (such as the ability to process whole, uncut fruits) are worth the extra money if you are a frequent juicer.  Otherwise, a basic model will do.

Juicing Yams?? Juicing Yams!!! « Rachel Scott Yoga

Yammy Yumminess

• 1 yam (small)
• 2 carrots
• 2 stalks celery
• 1 lemon
• slice ginger

Now, to date, this is the most delicious, sweet juice that I have made.  Given the name, I should have figured that sweet potatoes would be, well…sweet, but I was still surprised.  (What is the difference between a yam and a sweet potato, anyway?)  The yammy juice was on the thicker side, giving this juice just the tiniest bit more heft than other juices.  The lemon and ginger went in for a splash of zing, the celery so that I didn’t feel completely non-green, and away we went.

Juicing - Facts & Benefits

A glass of raw juice is the best " multivitamin/mineral supplement " money can buy. If you are concerned that you are not getting all the nutrients out of raw fruits and vegetables that you need, or you are just beginning to change your diet and want to increase your healing rate, drink at least a glass of raw juice daily. A 4-8 ounce glass of raw fruit or vegetable juice is like gold to your body. It provides not only all of the healing nutrients that have been isolated, but also all of those that man has yet to discover. It provides them in their living, organic, alkaline, whole, complete, balanced form. It is important to remember that juicing has a concentrating effect on the nutrients in fruits and vegetables. A glass of juice can (and should) be considered to be a meal in itself.
