Juicing Greens Can Cure and Prevent Diabetes

“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food,” Hippocrates advised over 2,000 years ago. Today we ask doctors to give us pills when the cures can be found in our backyard gardens and grocery stores:

ScienceDaily (Aug. 20, 2010) — Eating more green leafy vegetables can significantly reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, finds research published online in the British Medical Journal.

No one is certain why whole green leafy vegetables cure so many common ailments. One thing scientists have discovered is that isolating a single compound from a green vegetable does not provide the same health-benefit results of consuming the entire vegetable:

The authors believe that fruit and vegetables can prevent chronic diseases because of their antioxidant content. Green leafy vegetables such as spinach may also act to reduce type 2 diabetes risk due to their high magnesium content.

The authors argue that “our results support the evidence that ‘foods’ rather than isolated components such as antioxidants are beneficial for health … results from several supplement trials have produced disappointing results for prevention of disease.”

Instead of taking a pill, find out which juicer is best for you and start drinking healing tonics.

    Yeah but juicing takes too long! And I like doctors and hospitals.

    Most of my “why the hell are you juicing?” acquaintences mostly respond to this with, “So eat the whole thing. If you’re juicing you are by definition not eating the whole thing.” It gets tiresome.

      That’s one of many reasons to avoid talking to people. They have no value to add and only try bringing you down.

    Any alternatives to freezing juice in winter? I don’t have a lot of time during weekdays and I make big batches on Sunday and freeze them in working glasses to take them to work or for breakfast. The stuff takes too long to unfreeze and its still cold once thawed out in the fridge, especially in the winter mornings.
