Did You Know That Juicing Vegetables Feeds The Friendly Bacteria In The Gut and Strengthens Immunity
Between 80-90% of the immune system is located in our digestive track and countless research shows that the key to a healthy body is a healthy gut. As Hippocrates, the grandfather of medicine, stated: “All disease begins in the gut”.
The body is an integrated eco-system, so imbalances in one area of the body can manifest themselves in another. An unhealthy gut can compromise things like immunity, cognitive function, healthy weight, hormonal balance, central nervous system function, and more. Maintaining the health of your gut is probably the number one thing you can do for overall health. Consuming daily amounts of fresh seasonal vegetables leads to a healthy gut.
Vegetables are one of the best sources of what are called: prebiotics. These are non-digestible dietary fibers we get from food that feed the friendly microorganisms, called probiotics, that the probiotics thrive on. Foods such as leafy greens, broccoli, cabbage, asparagus, artichokes, leeks, onions, and garlic are all rich sources of prebiotics.
