I'll drink to that: healing and rejuventing juices.

Fruits and vegetables are super sources of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, proteins, carbohydrates, essential fatty acids, chlorophyll and other phytonutrients, and juicing is a superb way of adding fruits and vegetables to one's daily nourishment. In the fall and winter, juices can charge your body with sunny energy.

Fresh juice contains the whole fruit or vegetable minus the fiber, which is the indigestible part of the plant. It therefore supplies up to 92% of the plants' health-promoting components in an easily digested and absorbable form. It has been estimated that fruit and vegetable juices are assimilated in minutes.

Green Juices: Healers

These juices are reported to cleanse the body of toxins, stimulate and build new cells, and rejuvenate the body. They contain chlorophyll, "the blood of plants," which promotes fast energy, is an internal disinfectant, reduces body odor and bad breath, and improves blood sugar disorders, anemia, and other blood disorders. Chlorophyll also cleanses the liver and is excellent for the digestive tract

Green juices can be made with spinach, parsley, buckwheat and sunflower sprouts as well as wheat grass. Green juices, including wheat grass, should be part of cancer treatment, especially radiation therapy. Wheat grass is full of enzymes and is one of the most potent of greens.

Vegetable Juices: Health Restorers and Rebuilders

Vegetable juices boost the immune system, guarding against illness; they remove acid wastes and balance the metabolism; and they also aid in controlling obesity by removing excess fat from the body. Vegetables are the most important foods on our planet, slowing the aging process and preventing diseases.

Count beet, carrot, celery, cucumber, parsley, spinach and wheat grass among the most health giving and delicious vegetable juices.
