Julius and I did our presentation on juicing. In juicing we learned Juicing is a mechanical process for extracting vitamins, minerals and other natural fluids from raw fruits and vegetables. This process takes a solid such as a fruit or a vegetable and after the process you are left with liquid only. Juicing is different from eating the whole product because The extracted liquid contains the majority of the vitamins, minerals, and other substances present in a fruit or vegetable.   These are also known as Phytonutrients. juicing takes all the natural substances from fruits and vegetables leaving behind the less nutrient rich solid fibers.   No artificial chemicals are present or added to the juice, including preservatives.   Being highly perishable, one must drink the juice right away.   However, it is significantly better than store bought juice as it has not been processed or pasteurized. Nor is there a need to add sugar or ingredients to improve its natural taste,  possibly detracting from the Juice’s health benefits. WE also learned that there are two types of fibers present when juicing. Insoluble fibers helps to keep one's bowel movements regular, it also helps to fill you up and speeds up the passage of food through the digestive tract. Insoluble fiber include cellulose, and hemicellulose. The problem that occurs when juicing is that the insoluble fiber is not present in the drink. This can be solved by dumping the insoluble extract back into the juice. The stuff that is left into the juice is the soluble fibers. Soluble fibers help bacterial growth in the digestive tract. It also helps the body maintain a good blood sugar level and may help lower cholesterol. Another reason why juicing is good is because you can get the right amounts of fruit needed in one sitting. Because most people will not eat 4 cups of fruits and veggies per day.
