Want to Lose Weight? Try Vegetable Juice

Vegetable Jof uice Drinking at least one glass of low-sodium vegetable juice daily may help overweight dieters lose more weight.

In a study, adults who drank at least 8 ounces of vegetable juice as part of a diet lost 4 pounds over 12 weeks, while those who followed the same diet but did not drink the juice lost only 1 pound. The vegetable juice drinkers also significantly increased their intake of vitamin C and potassium, while decreasing their overall carbohydrate intake.

It's possible that vegetable juice helps reduce appetite. In addition, vegetable juice drinkers are more likely to get the recommended 3 to 5 servings of vegetables daily.

Fresh juice is always best.

No doubt about it, vegetable juice can help you to lose weight.

This weight loss is experienced not only by people who have that as a goal, but also by those who do not. Many -- in fact, the majority -- of people start juicing as a way to improve their health and energy. But even these folks have noticed the pounds “falling off.”

This may be a result of the fact that acids are stored in fat cells, and when the pH becomes better balanced with alkaline foods such as vegetable juices, your body will let go of fat cells and the acids they contain.

Additionally, people who are juicing are likely eating less processed food and junk food, feeling better and having more energy, and as a result are more active, which would contribute to shedding excess pounds. - Dr Joseph Mercola, M.D.

Brewers Yeast

If brewer's yeast is not now a part of your daily nutritional habit, perhaps it ought to be.

The microscopic plant, Saccharomyces Cerevisiae--commonly referred to as Brewer's Yeast--is nutritionally superior to all other types of yeast. It is one of the best natural sources of the entire B-vitamin Complex. It is a superb source of concentrated protein, including ALL the essential amino acids.

It is extraordinarily rich in nucleic acid, which is a basic element in cell development and is believed to retard to the aging process. It is the best nutritional source of chromium that occurs in Brewer's Yeast in an organic compound known as GTF (Glucose Tolerance Factor). This vital factor is found in few other foods and is essential for the production of effective insulin, without which the body cannot properly handle glucose, its major fuel. Hypoglycemia results when the blood sugar level rapidly shoots upward, followed by a rapid release of insulin which, in mm, overshoots the mark and drives the bloods sugar too low. The role of GTF is to moderate insulin activity--first by potentiating the circulating insulin and then by reducing the amount required to be released.

As if this were not enough, Brewer's Yeast is also rich in selenium, potassium and many other factors too numerous to mention--all in the most available form for immediate use by the body.
