Vegetables and fruits are perfect for preparing for a marathon.
Getting a juicer and juicing is than the next greatest thing anyone can do to maximize the benefits of the nutrients that are abundantly available from natures power foods.
Juicing your fruits and vegetables has long been thought to have healing powers. Providing an abundance of quickly absorbed nutrients, juicing has been known to help cure everything from stomach ulcers to strengthening the immune system due to the high concentration of phytonutrients, vitamins, and minerals in fresh fruits and vegetables.
For healing or detoxification purposes begin to change your diet by eliminating processed, over cooked food. Eat whole fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, lentils, nuts and seeds, and eat a mostly vegetarian based diet including fresh juice at least 1-2 times per day.
Prepare your produce before processing through a juicer and make sure that your produce is cleaned thoroughly. You can drink the juice straight, dilute half with water, or add fiber or protein powder to make a healthy shake. One important note is to always drink the juice right after juicing to ensure receiving the maximum nutritional value.
Below are a couple of videos with some of my favorite juices:
