Nutrient Absorption: A Bonus of Consuming Green Juice

Green juice also helps your body absorb nutrients from leafy greens and veggies easier than it does when you chew them. Your body has to break down food to obtain nutrients, but with green juice, all the nutrients are immediately absorbed into the bloodstream so you benefit right away.  This is one reason somepeople say that green juice curbs cravings – because the body is getting the nutrients it craves right from the get go. Magnesiumis one of the most important minerals when it comes to blood sugar, sugar cravings, general fatigue, and irregularity. Plant-based foods are packed with magnesium, so when you consume green juice, you’re getting in a large dose of magnesium right away, versus having to chew and process tons of food at one time to obtain it. Other minerals like calcium and potassium are also quickly absorbed through green juice rather than when chewed.This isn’t to say you can’t get your nutrients from food- of course you can! It’s merely to show that the benefits of green juice are far beyond what they’re known for. Don’t drink it to lose weight- that may work for the short term but won’t support you in the long run. You also need to eat! We weren’t meant to consume liquids alone, but just like water comes with benefits, so does green juice.
