The words “weight-loss” and “snacks” often appear in the same sentence.

Have you been hearing about superfoods lately? Wondering if you should be eating some of them? The answer is YES. Remember, everything you put in your body counts- good and bad. Superfoods help to get you ahead of the game. They are SUPER in the sense of having more benefit per bite than any other foods nutritionally. Superfoods are full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. There are many exotic superfoods, but might not be practical if you don't know where to buy or how to eat them!

The main reason? Because neither you, nor I, nor most other people eat enough veggies each day.
Juicing fruits and veggies is the easiest way to add needed nutrients into your day. MOST of us do not eat near enough green stuff. Juicing allows you to intake a large amount of nutrients in a rather small package. In terms of volume, you would have to eat a lot of fruits and veggies, in one sitting, to make up for the same amount of nutrients you can drink in a single glass.
Lets be honest, todays' hectic lifestyle, makes it challenging to prepare nutritious meals regularly. With juicing, you get the most bang for your buck. The most amount of nutritious intake for the least amount of your time and day.
Juicing is known for tasting awful- but it doesn't have to be that way! I have a few tricks to help you actually enjoy drinking carrots and spinach ;-)
