Green Juicing for Weight Loss

Losing weight can be a very tough process for some people. The struggle to gain 
control over weight gain and loss has spawned a large number of diets that are aimed 
at people who have issues with weight loss, but are these expensive and restrictive 
diets really the only answer available? If you’re reading this, you’re probably aware that 
getting certain nutrients and maintaining a balanced diet can also be a road to weight 
loss. A great thing about juicing, is that you can gain many of these nutrients without 
having to spend an enormous amount of time. Here are some tips for green juicing in 
order to help you lose weight. 

Help Eliminating Toxins 

One of the most important marks of a healthy vegetable would be one that helps your 
body to remove toxins. When toxic chemicals, and naturally occurring poisons begin to 
build up in the body, it makes it harder for the body to metabolize what it ingests, and 
these chemicals can arrest some functions entirely. Putting a good fruit in your diet like 
apples, or lemons can go a long way to cleansing the body. Many fruits and vegetables 
contain an agent called pectin. Pectic is one of the main things responsible in lowering 
cholesterol in the blood, and helps the body to remove excess fats and toxins from the 
body. 

Metabolism Functionality
 
Another benefit of pectin, is that it helps with digestion. When your digestive system is 
working more efficiently, you can absorb more nutrients into your body. A good fruit or 
vegetable like papaya, apples, or spinach helps regulate blood sugar while helping you 
to pass many of the other things that you’ve eaten in a 24-hour period. Water soluble 
fibers like pectin also attract particles that should be disposed of through the elimination 
of wastes. Plant based sources of protein and minerals are also highly accessible by the 
body. Eating more vegetation in general encourages metabolic functionality. 

Reduces Water Weight 

A balanced diet should also help you to have the proper amount of moisture distribution 
in your body. When fluids pool in areas in the body, it can contribute heavily to 
circulation issues that are caused by extra water weight pressing into things while 
sitting, lying down, etc. Watery vegetables like cucumber help stimulate the body to 
jettison the extra fluids, thus bringing down some of the weight. This also helps get rid of 
toxins that are being swept up by pectin and other water-soluble fibers.
