Juicing: Is It Actually Healthy? 

You guys are normally on point but sorry to say you was off with this one. Cold pressed juicing is one of the best things you can do to improve your health. I have a serious chronic illness that I was born with. I used to go into hospital up to 25 times a year and be taking up to 30 tablets a day. I started with a 14day juices cleanse and have continued juicing on a regular basis only with other dietary changes... I haven't been on hospital for over 5years and no longer take meds. I've also helped a ton of people improve their lives with juicing.

Since I've started juicing my headaches have gone away, I do not take naps, bloating is gone, hair looks and feels tons better and my energy is through the roof. I mix fruits and vegetables and I also eat one solid meal a day between 6-8:30pm. If that is bad for me, I'll take it!

🙂 Hand on heart. Vegetable juicing is the healthiest and best thing I have ever done in my life. Cleared psoriasis up with it (combined with diet and supplements). Given me an amazing complexion, so I don't need to wear makeup coverage. Given me shiny hair naturally. Given me amazing energy and clarity. Helped my eyesight improve. Come flu season, I hardly ever get sick, but if I do, a few days of extra juicing gets me well in no time. Plus on top of all this, it has helped me get off junk food and into a healthy diet and lifestyle. I gave up coke cola, and replaced it with homemade veggie juices. In fact, just having a kale carrot combo now. People try to say it is dangerous or unhealthy, and I think they are completely *bonkers*.

For someone like me who doesn't eat veggies, I dislike them, I need to juice. Not concerned with fiber in these veggies bc I consume fiber from other foods. And if I make a smoothie, I add greens to it.

I used to be pro-smoothie and anti-juicing, but after I had gastric surgery I can't handle all of the fiber in smoothies. Juice doesn't make me sick to my stomach and digests easily for me. I still think smoothies are great for MOST people, but some of us have different dietary needs

Ive loss 81lbs from juicing.

As a person who fasted for 7 days I will say he is right about the pros and cons . But the way he interprets jucing seems underwhelming. I will say juicing is truly a benefit to a healthy diet. And you feel absolutely great consuming it. Is it medicine ? I will say ya and no it all depends on the the juices you drink and the things you do outside juciing. But for me it worked great 😊

Totally true about the ugly vegetables and grits. I grew up in my grandparents farm and no "symmetry perfect " vegetables and fruit were the same as the other ones. Yum yum ... missing it

Hi Doctor! I heard that juicing only removes the insoluble fiber and that the soluble fiber which helps regulate blood sugar is still present in the juice. Is this true?

If you juice, invest in a cold pressed juicer (slow juicer). You get more nutrients than a regular juicer

"The body doesn't NEED juice" is a pretty poor argument as a "con". We also don't NEED essential oils or bone broth for example, never heard anyone on this channel mentioning that though..(something to do with the fact that they sell essential oils and bone broth powder but not juicing machines maybe). We're not all here because we NEED this. Some just want to take this info to help take their health and fitness to the next level. Also, sugar in veggies is hardly a problem. Fruit is a different story I agree. But wouldn't it be nice if consuming carrots and beets were people's biggest problem when it comes to sugar consumption? As for "probably won't help weight loss" doesn't that depend on what exactly you're juicing? Some veggies are known to help promote weight loss(such as celery). Am I not getting the same benefits with juicing(minus the fiber) vs eating the whole veggie/fruit?

I drink at least one green juice per day (mostly leaves, nonsweet veggies, lemon, ginger, celery, herbs, etc). I drink a very large smoothie every morning - i mean like 48 oz. Lots of leafy greens, coconut water, water, avocado or walnuts or almonds, seaweeds, spirulina, chlorella, an apple or berries, lemon, etc sooooo delicious. And I eat lots of salads broths n veggies. Aloha!

I have been juicing forever and i love it...but i only do greens, the bitter the better!!

I do both the juicing and blending, but with the juicing I have more energy I just add table spoon of plain yogurt. With the blend I get a lot of cramping and gas. Thank you for your helpful information. I drink my juice with a healthy meal and that balance out my sugar intake.

So, apparently I NEED wine! :)

This video ignores blender "juicing" where the entire fruit or vegetable is consumed. You can consume far more vegetables more easily by drinking them than by trying to eat them.

High amounts of fiber in smoothies give me stomach aches. Juicing is the way to go especially if you are very sick (coming out from a chemo or radiatio). It gives your digestive system a rest it needs and heals you faster. I know there are a lot out there who cured their cancer from just juicing. Disappointing video.

Hi good video. Can i use Flax seed oil with my juice? Thanks.

Vegetable juicing is good u can loose weight. You can add the fibre back is actually tasty. I use one or two fruits to give it a taste. I replace one meal and it worked great. In detox it works well as well.

Digestion begins in the mouth with saliva and so ideally to maximise the nutrient intake one must start by properly chewing the foods at each meal. The method of juicing can be a helpful adjunctive mode in consuming one's foods for various reasons but should never be seen as a replacement to eating any of them.

Can you maintain a lean diet by just juicing ?? Or should you include protein shakes??

@jasonvale what do you think of this ? I am a great believer of juicing and smoothies but I am aware of the dangerous sugar content when juicing as the fiber is removed. This is the only thing that makes me wonder if juicing is really healthy

I've been enjoying a blend of spinach, kale and bok choy without removing any pulp. I do add a cup of water with a handful of each green which seems to minimize the pulp and grassy flavor.

i don't have fresh fruit in my city can i use frozen fruit and vegetable

Should have made a distinction between soluble and insoluble fibre. The fibre you lose is not used by the body directly.

Does this include Cold Pressed and Pulverized Juices (vitamix and blendtech blender). From my understanding you consume the beneficial fibers and nutrients from this approach.

hi doctor , i want to ask Cabbage Juice and Potato Juice are really good for stomach health? my father has suffered gastroesophageal reflux disease since 2016

Dr. Axe I heard that vegetable juice is best to drink on an empty stomach. If we drink juice on an empty stomach how fat soluble vitamins will be absorbed ? Should I add some fat but if yes what source to choose?

Can you give me some feedback on Karma wellness water? I like the pineapple coconut and is loaded with vitamins and minerals A E D plus B vitamins potassium Lty rosine

yea ur body doesnt need that much sugar, but then again when u weight out calorie intake/sugar intake, idk. just depends on what u wanna do with that certain juice. very vague if u ask me

Your opinion is just that, an opinion. It's always good to listen to health thoughts.

You can juice fruits right before a long run or bike ride and your body will use it for energy and burn up the sugar. But if you juice fruit and just sit around it will spike your blood sugar.

Is juicing better than smoothies? I have a ninja and i do smoothies. I lost 90 lbs from smoothies. Smoothies ( blending ) keeps the fiber in the smoothie. I mainly do greens with a little bluberries and watermelon.

Can you save the fruit or veggie pulp and put it in other food like a soup? Do it is not wasted and you get its benefits? Thank you

My question is I am i ketosis and have some juice cleanses scheduled. I start a 3 day one soon , I plan to do kale, cucumber, ginger, limes, apples , oranges, cellery is there any danger to jumping into a juice cleanse while in ketosis?

Hmmm I drink veggie juice (veggie dominant), but I also eat a Garden of Life protein bar with high fiber. Do you think this helps? I also eat whole grain brown rice snaps on the side. This is all just for my daily lunch btw

Smoothies are a great way to replace the fibers in nutrients instead just fruit

I need to gain weight so maybe I should start juicing... thanks for the info!

I bought celery juice, turmeric, carrot and another juice. I drank about half out of all four and the next day I had diarrhea. Why was it the sugary carrot juice?

What about pressure cooking because I have false teeth and I cannot eat carrots and celery Raw and potatoes need to be cooked. I do however use onions in my salads. And I cook with red vegetables as in potatoes and onions. I was told that 95% of nutrients are maintained when pressure cooked. I'm getting a juicer to also make green drinks. And there are fruitarians that say theirs is the best way. Maybe you could address these issues because they work.

For breakfast I have steak fries garlic bread pecan pie a large soda and some twinkies It works really good

When is the best time of day to juice?

Can you add a fiber supplement to the juice to add the fiber you're not getting?

Thank you! I almost went out and bought a juicer!

In Europe they add cream to carrot juice? Can you say more? As a ‘european’ this is a new concept.

What if I only want to juice veggies? And use the fiber in my soups.

Can you just take a Fiber 1 bar for fiber to make up the lose of fiber from juicing?

This video was quiet confusing and all over the place!! He was talking about juicing and juices in the bottle from the grocery store in the same sentence???..

He's referring to a juicing lifestyle not using juicing for detox or medicine. Those juices are not fruit but vegetable. When you are sick especially with cancer...you should eliminate ALL sugar for a long while...including fruits high in sugar...limit it to berries only. Just saying.

This video is awesome. The only thing I don't agree with is he talking about too much sugar. It's a natural sugar from fruits. It's not like the glucose fructose crap.

i think i would mostly use the juicer for veggies such as kale or celery as i would never eat them raw

This doesn't make any sense to me. If I juice fruit it may be too much sugar. But if it's blended, does the sugar disappear? I don't juice fruit. Only kale, spinach, wheat grass powder and lemon. (Ok that fruit only). So I don't see a problem with that. Am I missing something?

Thu video is deceptive especially in the sugar segment. Fruit sugar (fructose) is different from vegetable sugar (glucose) fructose is not only a simple sugar but it doesn't require insulin production to enter cells. Lol @ too much sugar maybe from veggies and maybe from juicing. I used to juice but got tired of wasting produce (pulp) I make smoothies now.

i done plan on making juicing my whole diet, but i am going to add it into my diet and still eat. but the fruits and vegetables that i don’t eat 24/7 ima juice them

very helpful; thanks!!!

Juice Feasting is one of the best ways to cleanse, but only short term not as long term :)

I juiced and drank it for breakfast and lunch. Then ate a light meal for dinner. I went from 210 to 187 in less than two months.

Add ceylon cinnamon powder to the juice to curb some of the sugar.

Go on nothing but juice for 30 days.. The only con you will be mentioning is the cost..

I occasionally make homemade juices. I like using the vitamix better then an actual juicer. I blend the stuff up real good and use a nut milk bag, the bags used to make almond milk, and just strain out all of the juice. It's a little more time consuming because there's more steps, but you get more bang for your buck. I don't have to use a lot of produce to get a whole glass of juice. Maybe I missed it but I don't I heard him mention the enzymes in homemade unpasteurized juice. That's really the only reason why I drink the stuff. Store bought juice has been pasteurized. Raw foods have enzymes which is beneficial to the digestion process. Raw milk, raw dairy products, and raw eggs all have enzymes too. Even raw meat and raw fish, and contrary to the trendy belief raw meat is very easily digested. Just don't eat store bought meat raw. Get it from a local farm that feeds their cows nothing but grass. You want fresh and healthy meat when eating it raw. I normally marinate mine in lemon and olive oil which kills off any harmful parasites that might be lurking. The raw foodies frown at marinating and freezing meat(freezing is another way to kill parasites), but it's better safe then sorry. Raw foodies also like eating raw chicken, which is something I don't recommend you try regardless of how it's raised. Just red meats and fish. Raw foods are important for their enzymes and their superior nutritional content. Just don't start buying into the fad that we aren't suppose to eat cooked foods. Most of our diet should be cooked. Cooked foods free up the calories for our bodies to use more efficiently. Anything higher then 50% raw is carrying it a littler too far.

Gerson Therapy.. Carrots !

I think of juicing as only the best vegetables and fruits thru your own juicer etc, not most already bottled juices in the stores I like his idea of blending some cucumber etc to add some fiber , juicing the rest

Ye well if you're gut is inflamed and damaged from celiac juice works better for my gut but what about the bacterial in it

Doesn't juicing remove the fiber from the whole sequence? Don't we need the fiber too? I'm confused.

So is juicing good or bad....

I’m going to do further research. Not just going to get one mans take on it.

I juice and blend daily, and I focus on eating healthy - it's creating a healthy diet for yourself and juice/ blend as well. I mean come on it's the biological science, also you never touched on how important fiber is as well. I mix organic Psyllium I get from my doctor's office with my health shakes or blend it in with my vitamin drinks, and wow it's amazing - I feel better than I have in forever.

I’ll stand with Jay Kordich who lived to his mid nineties, Charlotte Gerson mid nineties, Jack Lalanne mid nineties

I don't juice. I do smoothies of a morning. I make sure I incorporate leafy greens and Omega 3s in them.

I wouldn't say sugar is a con to juicing just as much of a kind it is for smoothies or any meal, you get out what you put in. Simple more greens less fruit

3:28. Thanks. The only reason i eat veggies is due to fiber so that i dont get constipation. My doctor advised the same. Jucing is waste

So why not just blend it?

Is using a blender considered the same as juicing even though the whole fruit/vegetable is used?

Thank you so much for all your amazing videos. They're extremely helpful.

very interesting!

Thanks n Jordan is the CEO n Josh is ?

I have sickle anemia and my parents raise me up on juicing. It helps me. love coconut, beets and watercress juice. Hopefully nobody try’s to steal my juice ingredients and call it their own.

Hi! I'm back! I lost 8 1/2 lbs. I received my vacuum blender on 4-23-18 and it is now 5-31-18. It does satisfy my hunger longer blending, however, consider that with blending one can be more creative with ingredients than with juicing. One example is nuts. I add almonds and/or walnuts and also I will sprout organic seeds like mung peas or garbonzo beans (just use a jar with a screen as a lid and soak and change water) and add a cup of that, so in effect I'm raising the calories and maybe satisfying part of my hunger that way when I can't do such when juicing, so take that into account. Before I added nuts or seeds or tofu I found it did still satisfy my hunger longer than juicing. I have to admit I slacked off too much and missed the texture and taste of food and would make a peanut butter sandwich or eat some berries whole, or if I got weak exercising like riding bike I did eat part of an energy bar or take along a peanut butter sandiwich, so I was cheating. I have to try more as my weight loss since last entry here 3 weeks ago was only 2 1/2 lbs less, so in last 3 weeks I lost 2 1/2 lbs more. I hope I helped. I am very glad I now have a blender and wish I would have purchase that instead of a juicer, however, I keep my juicer as I know I will use it sometimes.

I lost 33 lbs juicing. He should compare juicing to blending to eating the whole fruit or veggie. On an empty stomach drinking veggie juice, minimizing fruit hence sugar, was great but my poor discipline I gained it all back by juicing only every 3 days. He should have compared it to blending as then you consume the whole veggie and just minimize the fruit you blend in. I well know that I would have to chew for hours to consume the amount of raw organic vegetables I blend. He doesn't emphasize organic and he should. I'm also sure I'm absorbing much more nutrients than if I were chewing it. Blending satisfies my hunger much longer than juicing. I only lost 6 lbs in about 12 1/2 days so far. I have cheated some missing regular food, yet 90% of the time blending. I'll come back here too to let you know how it goes. I think that's very important where many never return after a comment. I wish this guy wouldn't shout, I wear headphones not to disturb others in my high rise bldg. He's excited about his topic so that's good.

Keep going both of u guys❤️I love your channel😃 We all support u to replace fake things in our lives with the real one✌🏽️

What happened to Dr Axe where is he

Thank you for the great content, would you please make a training video about Collagen and Keratin and the best food for each.Thank you

What about the people who beat cancer juicing? You make it sound like it's eh when this could completely heal sick people. I don't think you've given it enough credit.

depends on ur diet.

LOL I just love his corny jokes, they crack me up every time.

If your really physically active and do alot of cardio you won't get fat, calories in vs calories out, just be on a caloric deficit you will not get fat

He dint mention the awful cons of juicing regarding the cleaning its so time consuming i gave up and bought a Bullet

How can processing vegetables be healthier than just eating them?

Trying eating Wheatgrass and let me know how that goes. I'll be juicing it

He's full of it lots of people have cure themselves of cancer stage 4 given months to live by juicing on and on with healing stories

A way to handle sugar - ferment it for a week or two.

Healthy juice, not bad, so i'll drink 5 cups of it a day and, 1st on sunday, 2nd on monday, 3rd on tuesday, 4th on wednesday, and 5th on thursday. Mario, Ciao Ciao

One large peach at checkout in Calgary...tada.....3.41 cents....I put it back

I love my juices from green vegetables and fruits.

Add creme! No way

juicing only removed the non-water soluble fiber... it’s best to know what you are talking about before teaching people about the topic. carrots for example has almost a 50/50 split from water/ non-water soluble fiber...

Is the ocean made up of water????

Blend. The whole shubang

sir is it health?

what about blueberries and avocado together as a smoothie?
