They add “good” bacteria to your gut to outweigh the “bad” bacteria. Probiotics affect many aspects of the body including nutrient digestion and absorption, immunity, and much more.

Probiotics also produce vitamins, including the particularly important B vitamins, which play a key role in energy metabolism. Probiotics have other roles in promoting health in your body. They can inhibit the ability of bad microbes to grow in the intestines. This can help prevent illness and disease.

THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO JUICING: BENEFITS, RECIPES, NUTRITION FOR A HEALTHY HAPPY LIFESTYLE

  THE GOSPEL OF JUICING Juicing, as opposed to blending or eating whole vegetables and fruit, gives our digestive system a rest while absorbing all the nutrients. Juicing breaks down the food particles before we eat it, which is helpful for people who have sensitive digestive systems or are experiencing special illnesses. Many people who have weak digestive systems should start slowly with juicing. These individuals should begin with a small 8-ounce glass daily and work up to 12–16 ounces as the digestive system starts to improve. Every time you pour a glass of juice, picture a big vitamin-mineral cocktail with a wealth of nutrients that promote vitality. The veggies are broken down into an easily absorbable form that your body can use—right away. This food doesn’t have to go through a big process of breaking everything down. So it goes to work in your body to give you energy and renew you right down to your cells. It also spares your organs all the work it takes to digest food...
