Juicing
fresh fruits and vegetable is a great way to add a wider variety of
concentrated nutrients and live enzymes to your daily diet.
There
are two other important benefits. Juices can help alkalise your body. Stress
and an acid producing diet can tip the acid/alkaline balance of the body into
the acid zone.
In
addition, when fruits and vegetables are juiced they are much easier to digest.
As humans we lack the ability to breakdown the tough cellulose fibre contained
in all fruits and vegetables.
Juicing
removes this tough fibre making these plants foods much easier to digest. This
can even take the load off a sensitive digestive system.
When
Juicing for Thyroid Health Should you choose organic?
Due
to the volume of fruits and vegetables you can easily consume with daily
juicing it is wise to choose organic produce whenever possible. This will
significantly reduce your pesticide intake.

Juicing for Thyroid Health
Green
juices have become super popular and for good reason. They are super healthy!
Green
juices get their vibrant green colour from chlorophyll, a nutrient rich plant
pigment found in all leafy vegetables such as spinach, celery and lettuce.
Chlorophyll cleanses the body of harmful toxins, oxygenates the blood and helps
boost energy level.
When
juicing for thyroid health which fruits and vegetables should you avoid?
It
is vital to avoid using raw cruciferous vegetables. These particular vegetables
contain substances that can suppress normal thyroid activity, especially when
consumed in excess.
In
their raw state they are highly goitrogenic, the term used to describe a food
or environmental compound that interferes with proper thyroid function.
This
vegetable list includes; kale, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, bok
choy, broccolini, Chinese cabbage, kohlrabi, radish, mustard greens, collard
greens, choy sum, horseradish and turnips.
Isothiocyanates
are the category of substances in these cruciferous vegetables that are
associated with depressed thyroid function.
