What is better: Juices or Smoothies?
What is the best method for cleaning and maintaining health? Juices or smoothies? We explain the pros and cons of each one.
I declare myself a fan of juices and smoothies, in the mornings they save me from a problem when I have to run and drop the kids off at school. But many times when we try to enter into an eating regimen, we may think: What is the best method for cleansing and maintaining health? Know which is better between juices or smoothies. Juices Remove all fiber from vegetables and offer a direct source of chlorophyll, which does not require digestion. Juicing vegetables is the best way to hydrate the body and fill it with powerful enzymes, minerals, vitamins and phytonutrients. It’s like receiving a transfusion of all the good things your body can use to generate new cells, and the effects are very fast. When you remove the fiber and drink the plant juices, you allow your body to expel masses of waste at the cellular level, and since you have less obstruction at the cellular level, the body is better able to absorb nutrients from food, therefore requiring less food to feed you. So if what you are looking for is a detox, choose juices. Smoothies One of the biggest advantages of this is that they can be super-packaged meals in one container and are extremely delicious. Still, I recommend that you chew your smoothies well because when you puree food, you are skipping the pre-digestion chewing step that allows the enzymes in your saliva to be released. Over time, this can overload the body with energy, as it requires the pancreas to release additional enzymes to separate fluid from fiber and digest properly. Difference between extractor and blender There are certain differences between using a blender and an extractor, for example : Regarding the quality of the juice The blender extracts the juice by centrifuging the fruits and vegetables at a high temperature, which causes a certain loss of vitamins and other components such as enzymes and antioxidants, however it manages to maintain the fiber of the fruits and vegetables used. The extractor works by pressure at low speed, which does not modify the temperature and the fruits and vegetables maintain their qualities intact; With the extractor it is much healthier, since it does not “break” the food molecules into such small pieces. Regarding the amount of juice Compared to the blender, the extractor obtains more juice from the same amount of fruits and vegetables. The juice extracted with a blender is soon separated into 2 layers, the pulp remains on top and the liquid on the bottom. As for savings, the extractor, working at a lower speed, consumes less energy than the blender. In short, both have incredible benefits and can be incorporated into your lifestyle on a regular basis depending on the results you are trying to achieve.
