juicing

(JOO-sing)
The process of extracting the liquid contents from fruits and vegetables. This results in a drink that contains water, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants but no fiber. Juicing may also refer to a diet in which some or all of a person’s calories come from fresh juice. Fresh juice can be made from a single type of fruit, vegetable, or combination. Drinking fresh juice can be part of a balanced diet. It may help people get nutrients from fruits and vegetables they would normally not eat. There is no proof that drinking fresh juice can slow, cure, or keep diseases such as cancer from coming back.
