FOOD____________________________________________________________________________________ To be honest, both play an integral part in any health and wellbeing program however, there are subtle differences Juicing removes all the indigestible fibre and retains all the nutrient rich elements . The downside however, is that it may lead to unstable blood sugar levels which in turn have other effects on the body such as mood swings. Juicing also requires you to use far more fruits and vegetables in order to get a substantial amount of liquid. BLENDING on the other hand, retains all fibre content from the fruits and vegetables and keeps you fuller for longer periods of time. Sugars are released into the bloodstream at a stable rate and the digestive system functions well. A very common question – juicing or blending? Which is healthier? Either way, enjoy your five daily servings of fruits and vegetables in a delicious and healthy drink. Consume as soon as possible as the nutrients get destroyed. Be aware that certain fruits contain high levels of sugar and that may not be beneficial if you are dieting or detoxing .
